Eiffle Tower

The Eiffel Tower was built by Alexandre Gustave Eiffel in 1889.
It was remodeled in 1981 because before it was a meteorological station, a military telegraph, a tower of television transmisions and a laboratory for studying aerodynamics.
The Eiffel Tower is 300 meters , there are more than 1600 stairs and it has 2 elevators.
It has 4 levels, but we only can visit the firts three, because on the fourth, there is a space for business, conferences, expositions, etc.
From the second floor, we can see an excellent view of Paris. For this reason I believe that is one of the best works of art.
Therefore it has became the city's icon

Salvador Dalí

If I had to choose I would undoubtedly select Dali as one of my favorite painters.  This preference may be based just on the amount of feelings that come to my brain when I see one of his masterpieces. Haven't you thought about how incredible was he in this camp called art? It's not just a question of glare or shadows, it goes far beyond than this. He was able to manage with lots of materials like oil or watercolor, moreover that smooth and soft texture showed in majority of his drawings can manipulate our thoughts about what these marvelous paintings trie to represent.  Considering all my comments mentioned I would go as further as to recommend and may be demand you to go and have a look on his gorgeous work.

Christmas Carols 2



Deck the halls with boughs of holly, 
Fa la la la la, la la la la. 
Tis the season to be jolly, 
Fa la la la la, la la la la. 



Don we now our gay apparel, 
Fa la la, la la la, la la la. 
Troll the ancient Yule tide carol, 
Fa la la la la, la la la la. 

See the blazing Yule before us, 
Fa la la la la, la la la la. 
Strike the harp and join the chorus. 
Fa la la la la, la la la la. 

Follow me in merry measure, 
Fa la la la la, la la la la. 
While I tell of Yule tide treasure, 
Fa la la la la, la la la la. 

Fast away the old year passes, 
Fa la la la la, la la la la. 
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, 
Fa la la la la, la la la la. 


Sing we joyous, all together, 
Fa la la la la, la la la la. 
Heedless of the wind and weather, 
Fa la la la la, la la la la. 

Christmas Carols 1

Ya es Navidad la gente viene y va
sin darse cuenta de que el Niño nace ya.
En sus mentes no cabe otra canción
compran regalos y así olvidan a Dios.

Y nosotras hoy cantamos para demostrar
que estos días son más que mazapán,
unimos nuestras voces al compás de acordes 
para poder GRITAR...
Que esta Navidad
Dios se hace notar
llena los corazones 
de la gente que lo quiere.

Es ya Navidad hay nieve aquí y allá
en cada recodo se repira felicidad.
La gente canta ya no quieren parar
y la alegría inunda la ciudad.

Y nosotras hoy cantamos para demostrar
que estos días son más que mazapán,
unimos nuestras voces al compás de acordes 
para poder GRITAR...
Que esta Navidad
Dios se hace notar
llena los corazones 
de la gente que lo quiere.


Que esta Navidad Dios se hace notar
llena los corazones de la gente...
de la gente 
de la gente que lo quiere.

The most beautifull work of art that i have ever seen is not a picture or a sculpture, it is a city, Alesund.
Alesund is located in Norway, where i have recently been, Alesund is an Art Noveau city, it burned in the firsts of the twenty century and it has been reconstructed following the Art Noveau canons.
My personal opinion:  Alesund is the thing that has impressed me on my trip to Norway, most of the houses are white, and it has a touristic train that carry you to the Alesund´s viewpoint.
the leyend says that when the noruegan football national team played versus Denmark, the danish footballers got impressed and the norwegian team could thereby draw the match

My painting

I have seen a lot of paintings in museums, galleries, etc. But the painting that most have shocked me is the one that I  have in my room. I know, I know that almost nobody have seen it but, so that's why it is very special for me. I made it with pastel and it takes me 8 months todo it. When I enter in my room I keep time looking at it. Why? Because I remembered all the efford and the time I have spent doing my painting and the result of that facts is... Incredible!
Under this circumstances, I believe that art is also in the little things. 


El Grito, Edvard Munch

El grito, Edward Munch (1893)
I like this painting because it reflects perfectly which the author wants to transmit. The figure with a deformed face, I think it represents the fear and anxiety, the bridge means the passage of time and the two figures, at the end of the bridge, express the loneliness which felt the author. It is the most famous work of the series "The suffering of the life ".

Las Meninas, Picasso

Last year I went to the Picasso Museum in Barcelona. I saw a lot of paintings made by this artist but the one I liked most is "Las Meninas". Picasso painted 57 more pictures about this topic. The first time I saw it, reminded me of the "Guernica" because the colours are similar. Although I think it's one of the best paintings of Picasso I prefer the original one, painted by Velázquez.

                                 THE EIFFEL TOWER 

For me, the most disappointment work of art in the world is the Eiffel tower. There are lots of people that say the Eiffel tower is amazing, lovely... but I don´t think so: when I went to Paris I was excited to see the Eiffel tower but, when I went up and I saw how was it, I thought: "this is the Eiffel Tower? This is the building everyone wants to see? I have wasted my time in the queue to see this? “
In my opinion there are a lot of buildings better than the Eiffel tower that have less fame than it, and why do we want to see it? I think it´s because of that.

The electricity

For me, the most important invention is electricity.
Tomas Alva Edison made the first incandescent lamp in 1879, and then it was very successful.
If you just think a little you can imagine that TV, mobile phones, computers, light in our houses and those things wouldn't exist without electricity.
I'm completely sure that we couldn't live without electricity, that's why I think that it's one of the most important inventions ever.

Have you thought of it?


Undoubtedly most people think that we couldn't live without inventions such as electricity, the car, Internet, etc. In that case why these people haven't thought of the language? Just imagine a routine day behaving like animals, we would be unable to express our feelings. Could we live in this primitive way? Would we bear it?

The origins of the alphabet are unknown, but there are several theories as to how it developed. One popular proposal is that the history of the alphabet began in Ancient Egypt, more than a millennium into the history of writing. Furthermore if we think of it, there are no disadvantages related with the appearance of this method.

From my point of view this is a necessary  tool that language give to us, and we are not aware of the importance of it. So, it's just a question of seconds to not undervalue simple facts like this one.

The most incredible discovery: The penicillin

A hundred years ago if someone fell ill, the people thought that person would die. Now, if you have a flu, it disappears easily. And you will say: WOW! Which is this incredible invention? It is... The PENICILLIN! The penicillin is an antibiotic which cames from a mushroom. Its function is the treatment of infections caused by bacterias. Alexander Fleming was the person who discover it in 1928. Alexander and the scientists Ernst Boris Chain and Howard Walter Florey obtained the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1945. This, was a very important discovery for the medecin and for the human survival.


This is the mushroom which the penecillin cames from.




THE WHEEL

In my opinion the wheel is the most useful invention of the history. It was inveted many many years ago. You can think that the wheel is a very simple and easy invention, and that´s true but this easy invention have change our life, now a days we can´t imagine a world without wheels. The wheels are use for almost everything, if you think one moment you, you will see the many differents ways the wheels are use for. For example, for transport the cars but all of you are thinking in the wheels the tires but allengine is make of wheels but not only the cars or the differnts mains of transport use wheels however many other things use wheel like all type of engines, clocks, computers...
The most useful invention

THE ELECTRICITY

I think the electricity has been the most useful invention ever.

,
It was created by Thomas Alva Edison, a very important inventor.

Thanks to this, we can have light, heat and a lot of other things.
Can you imagine how your life would be like without electricity?

The applications for the electricity are increasing everyday, for example: 

ELECTRIC CARS! :O
They only need electricity to work!

Mobile Phones

Throughout history, people have used differet ways of communication. For example, in the prehistory they used the smoke to communicate between them.
The technology has advanced a lot in the las years and now the people use the mobile phone. This is the reason why I think that smartphones are one of the best invention.
Thanks to smartphones, you can phone people. In addition you have access to the Internet. Furthermore, you can contact your friends through social networks like Twitter, Tuenti or WhatsApp. You can also use your smartphone to read newspapers or check your emails.
In conclusion, I believe that smartphones have change the world because it allows you to be in contact with your friends no matter where you are

-what would you say if someone asked you if the wheel has been one of the more useful inventions on the human histroy?
-i would say yes!.

- because it has served to create and to improve some that had already been invented, for example, the wheel has permitted to carry with an easier form, heavy objects which before had been carried with the human strength.
-well, i think you are right
