what our country wants

Hi again, now when I don't have a class I enjoy more writing in this blog, (maybe because I have not get up early). The reason why we aren't in class is because in this moment in Chile we have many protests this is happening because we need reforms to suit the needs of people. One of the most big protest in this time is for a change in the education sistem, there are many reason one of this is because the cost of studying is very high, other points is that we need state education. Actually we have municipal education the problem of this is that some towns take the money destined to the education to make other things, for them more important, but not for us. I know that because I studied in a important municipal school but we don't have all we need to 2000 of students. For example in the third floor had water leaks, we don't have rooms to all the courses and that's not all. In the years 2006 the students of high school made a big education movement, I was there, my school was took for some students, other (like me) out of there collected money and food. In the year 2009 the problem continous again the students took the school in  this time I was there, wasn't very comfortable but I still think that the reason of this movement is more important. We need a quality state education (universitary, primary and secundary) can be compared with international standards, and school with more tools for learning, also I would add the chilean education need to promote the arts and sports.
Other important actual movement is about the freedom, organized mostly for gays or lesbians so I think they have reason, the chilean people have looking at the word and respect the decisions of the other person. If Chile want to be a modern country need a constant evolution in many topics and more citizen participacion.

a masterpiece

The Sunshade
Make a choice between the hundreds of masterpiece of arts that I like is hard because every class I learn something interesting about a master of arts. I think that there many big artists but in this time I will write about a one in special he is from Spain, his style is defined as romanticism but as time he is considered like a precursor of modern arts. I talking about Francisco de Goya, I will try give a resume of his career. He born in 1746 in the city of Fuendetodos, he started in the painting doing tapestry cartoons would be used for royalty. In this way Francisco de Goya met important people. Generally his designs are of custom scene or landscape with people who enjoy the moment, this kind of art is called "Pintura Galante". For example "the sunshade" (El Quitasol) with a beautiful and charming girl that is courted for a boy who has a sunshade to protect she, the colours are shiny and nothing can  break the harmony in the scene, they looks very relax. Goya's style is more than this, he painted a series of the disasters of war maybe one of the most important. Here he evidenced  the terrible consecuense in the war among the years 1810-1815 and is composed by 82 engravings. I remember a one paint in special the name is "this is worse". Here we can see a die man outraged there is not respect between the people who was in the war, there's no more hero. Behind the dead men there's a man sleping to this man this body doesn't exist, he can stay there without remorse and there's another group beside this sleping man. In this group we can see a meting between soldiers, nobody here cares the dead man. 
Goya painted many temes some are about common people and other of the royalty, he has give us a wide variety of topics, now we can see his painting in the nacional museum of Prado we can find one hundred and forty paintings.
this is worse

A Photograph: June Newton

I don't know so much about the photograph, is not my favourite type of art but recently i read something about a woman photographer. Her name is June Newton or Alice Spring widow of Helmut Newton another famous photographer, he teach to her the basic thechniques.  She started in the photograph she called Alice Springs  this happens in  1970 when Helmut had a disease, but she start in the photograph with this event. 13 years later Helmut died in a car crash before start a big photograph production, June continous his work in this last time.
She consolidates in the protraist offering a personal style. A lot of people was in her workshop, pleople from fashion word, famous writer like Alberto Moravia, artist like Joseph Beuys, the prominent people.
  The firts Photograph beside the principal text is part of fashion produccion at 1997 from the Depeche Mode magazine. I like because is casual and funnny, looks like a race between friends. June agreed the fashion topic with the ordinary situation but in the line of arts because is fresh isn't like pose and the viewer can participe in the scene, she can capture the charisma of the models its feel like a game.
The last photograph is from Depeche Mode Magazine too at the year 1971. Personaly i like because the model expresses a shameless actitude, her eyes are challenging and a give a sensation that we bother. In both Photograph the girls impose their character, they are the center of the action but they aren't alone their action are supplemented with the viewer participate. Finally one might think it was difficult for June to both compete with her husband as an artist but despite June Newton is a fashion photographer her style had a intimacy more than Helmut. At the same time June's work wasted personality and is diferent depend of the case or the model, sha capture the essence of the soul of her model all in her bodies expresses something to supplemented the action.

the technology and our word

Hello, Today I will write about technology, everybody knows we need the technology because we used all the time, in all the human activities like eat, work, etc. but is really necessary? I think yes, maybe this is a hasty answer, but now I’m thinking about construction technology, actually there a lot of people who know how can do a house without this kind of technology. The bridges, roads, building depend of this.
 We need too transporting, the cars, airplanes, bus, train, the connection today is very important we used every day, if we don’t have this to visit it will be very complicated, maybe the travels would last many hours.  
Another important thing is the communication and information technology, allows we know what is happening in another parts of the word! Like today in Chile we could see the real wedding in England or the revolution in Middle East.
The computer and internet allows this entire think; we can communication between us, is a fast media to information, we can find recipes, notice, pictures, videos, music, definitely all we can need. Also the computer is used to write, read, paint, play, draw, and do mathematical formulas. Allows the people organize their social activities or work activities. In definitely I need the internet and the computer to do most easy the responsibility.

In this opportunity I will write about the music. Yesterday I was download music, to make a change in my mp3, I decided back to the past with rock groups like Queen, Guns and Roses, Aerosmith, Nirvana, smashing pumpkins, and other. I think all the people love music, my boyfriend is a musician he play the guitar and sign very well, he has a band and write music with his friends. Other kind of music I like is the funk its funny and cheerful, in Chile was a band called “Los Tetas” was very famous in their time.
