Remember to use the conjunctions listed on top. My favourite book. To begin with, I have had many favourite books throughout my life, when I  was a child I was an avid reader. Correspondingly, one of my first childhood memories is of reading at my mother's job. I always have a liking for illustrated books. For this reason, Literature and Visual arts have been two of my constant interests. Eventhough I haven't taken the time to continue reading as much as I would like. Nevertheless, I will concentrate on one of my favourite books in my collection, it is a photobook named "Artists ...

In my case, I am not that interested in going to those places. If I had all the time and money available. I would study in Scotland, in The Glas...

(210 words) Well, This is an awkward question for me, since I am currently working and actually, I enjoy my job a lot.  Today I realize that it is quite different from what I thought It would be when I  was studying way back in the early 2000's. All in all, I think it is a nice living.  Regarding my future plans, I would love to continue teaching, I have found a lot of happiness working with people. Nonetheless, I would like to travel some more, but making it count.

For this post, you have to talk about your favourite artist, please keep in mind the following: -What kind of art does he/she make? -What is your favourite piece of art? ( In which ways does it influence your work?) -Talk about his/her life You have to write at least 200 words. Don't forget to comment ( 3 classmates). To comment is to care ;) Robert Rauschenberg To begin with, I think this is a hard question since there are so many artists -local and international- that I find interesting. Even more, each day one gets to know newer art makers, or rediscover some old forgotten work from the past, It is a never ending quest. At this moment, the only artist I can think of is the late Robert Rauschenberg, an extraordinary american artist, who almost single-handedly redefined the definition of modern art. When I was younger, I could not distinguish Rauschenberg's work from some of its contemporaries.  He was a bit too prolific, too hard to nail down (or classify). ...

Hey guys, I am very glad that you chose this topic, since I am a huge fan of movies. My father and I used to rent videos every weekend when I was little, so It is still one of my favourite hobbies (although I don't have enough time these days).  Today, I want to talk you about a movie I watched during those years. It is called "Seven". This movie was directed by David Fincher, who is also the director of "Fight Club" among other films. It was released in 1995, with great acclaim. It is considered a thriller, since it includes elements from the detective novel and the horror tradition. The story follows the efforts of Detectives Will Sommerset and David Mills, interpreted by Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt, who start an investigation on the ritual murders held by a mysterious psychopath, who mimics the style and nature of his crimes to the seven deadly sins, found in Dante's Divine Comedy. Each victim is related in a way with a particular sin. And as the ...
