Hi everyone,
Today, i'm goint to write about something that i -obviously- like, Arts.

I received the commission to write about my favourite artist, first of all i have to say that i've realized that mi knowledge about arts are virtualy nil, but i know my favourite artist from a time before i realized what i told you before.
His name is Jacques Louis David, he's a neoclassical french painter, some people called him "Napoleonic" because of his portraits of the Emperor and stuffs related to him. He head the Academy in France for a long time, even when Napoleon was overthroned and the Borbons were again in the power and he was in exile, his influence rule the french paint for years, and later, with romanticism his influence diminished because of the anti-academicist spirit that new artists had. In spite of the widespread opinion that David is kind of boring i like him very much.
As i said before, he was a neoclassical painter, so he lived the French Revolution and he was part of it, he was an exceptional activist of Jacobinst and put his work at the service of revolution, he painted the most famous paintings from that time and that's how i know him, in history books, he consider himself as a "History Painter", if you ask me, that's the most interesting part of him, his Commitment with his ideas, and how he captured that in his paintings.

So, finally i will talk you about mi favourite david's piece of work.
The Death of Marat (1793)
In this painting we see a portrait of Marat, a revolutionary who accuse the counter-revolutionary in his newspaper and was murdered by a girondist (a moderate group that participate in the french revolution), David was his friend (a very close friend, he admired him) and received the commision of paint his death portrait. He made a master piece, he represented a Hero and a Martyr, he mixed the christian and classic tradition into Marat. Here is visible the commitment that i spoke before, he felt that a man like Marat deserve a glorious end and he paid the right homage for him.

Maybe i wrote too much, so i will end this now, i like David too much so i didn't realized about the numer of words, i say good bye.

See you later.

BBC teach you how to speak/write english

Almost like a miracle, Britains gave us a site where we can learn about there language, what's the wonderful side?

It's free and fun, generally this kind of sites are really boring, but this is kind of fun, i actually enjoyed it because have some activities very cool like crosswords and quizzes, this kind of sites make us very fun the process of learning a foreign language.

Plus, the site teach us with stuffs that sometimes the traditional way forget, like the non-literal phrases that the common peolpe used, matters that for us are difficult to learn if we not talk with native english speakers, phrases like "keep your eyes on the ball" that i saw in a short video where a "teacher" told us how britains speak on the colloquial situations.

Another thing that called my attention was the Funky Phrasals, what's that? Phrasals verbs are a kind of verbs that -are very hard to learn- make our english more natural, not so "traditional" or in other words more "normal".

Finally, i can say that this site will become one of my favourite on my web browser I will visit it frequently.

See you later.

Mi actual first post

Well i have to write a little text for mi subject: English III. The main idea is to write about my expectations about this semester.

First of all, i'm going to introduce myself in a very short way, I'm study Art Theory and History at the University of Chile (in Art Faculty) and i'm coursing the third semester out of eight. I'm 19 years old and i'm from Santiago, more precisely in Puente Alto (a very far town from the main city).

So, mi expectations for this semester are pass all subjects whit good results, but more particuraly i want to satisfy all my interests related to Art History (learn a lot from authors that i like the most). If you ask me for this particular subject i want to improve my english level in the areas that i fail (irregular verbs are so difficult, i can't imagine how englisg speakers learn them so quickly!).

Well, i think that i finished my short text, see you next time.
