Hi dear students.
I've seen your introductions. I really liked you wrote them in English. The first assignment is to visit The Metropolitan Museum Of Art site. Read everything about Van Gogh using the reading strategies you have learned. Comment in the blog about the information you read.
Good Luck! =)
the text was easy to understand, only that it was a bit repetitive in most cases, once the information, I think that was impressive to do more than 1,100 drawings, too, that had the support of his brother Theo.
ResponderEliminarsomething interesting is that he drew what he saw, as in his earlier work that showed dark oppressed people of the city and Dutch farmers at work.

He loved art.
He used all the techniques of drawing, the differents influences prints is apparent in the works he made
He traveled a lot, the landscapes were his inspiration.
He produced nearly 900 paintings and more than 1,100 works on paper. Ironically, in 1890, he modestly assessed his artistic legacy as "of very secondary importance."

ResponderEliminarI liked the museum site, it was easy to understand, the pictures helped me a lot, I also learned things that I didn´t know, such as Van Gogh, before reading the article i didn´t know much about him, the paintings were very nice, also the museum looks very interesting for all services offered, it is a good way to learn general knowledge.
hello
ResponderEliminarthe truth to me if I liked the content of the page as it tells of a man, very important indeed, and as often happens almost nobody knows about his life.
was a very important for artists to paint in truth I use many techniques and unknown in his time, he shared with the Impressionists and Postimpressionists.
we have to recommend this page.
I really liked the Van Gogh biography because it tells about the life of him, I especially like it in Paris.
ResponderEliminarIt was the first to the innovations of impressionism and neoimpressionismo with broken brushwork techniques and small strokes of pure color, also is important for modern art, really very interesting techniques and the saddest of her biography is how he died because he committed suicide with a bullet in the chest.
Reading can be analyzed by means of references and the union of words, as also the use of the dictionary.
hello
ResponderEliminarwell, this text is very interesting because it tells the life of Vincent van Gogh. It's amazing the number of vocations that tube over his life and try to achieve perfection in their works.
I liked the text, but it was something hard for me to understand.
To understand the text identify some cognates and keywords.
I think it's very interesting museum shops there, I like to know about the services offered by the museum ... I think it's a good obcion for children.
ResponderEliminarI think it was easy reading, reading techniques you use, were identification of cognates, use the dictionary because there were some words that are not understood.
the truth the work of Van Gogh and I adore that show thought and abstract side in a special way through the unique painting techniques shows their views in many colors and beautiful scenery as the starry night.
ResponderEliminarI really want to go to this museum that looks great in person and see the real work of Van Gogh, whom I admire so much as a painter
well if you don't know how i am, well I'm mario david rosas meneses
ResponderEliminarHello,
ResponderEliminarFirst of all I can say that this site was very interesting not only by this information, but also by all the paintings and expositions they offer. Before I read the text, I supposed it was related to Van Gogh´s life and artistic paintings. Some strategy skills I used while reading the text was skimming, a fast reading that should introduce me to what the text was talking about, and also I searched for words or phrases that I didn´t understand, so I look for the context, by synonyms and looking in the dictionary for this words.
Talking about the text, I can say that it was gorgeous and interesting, because I learned new informative life aspects I didn´t know about Van Gogh´s life. Van Gogh was an innovating artist for his time, although he copies some Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist artists, his painting style was unique and was considered later as vanguard artist, his self-taught style was impressive because nobody else did what he realized, nowadays his artistic paintings are exposed in various countries.
I really liked this text because it show us some of his highlighting career and interesting information about his life, I think it was a terrific text that I would recommend to everybody, for having some culture and an enjoyable productive time.

ResponderEliminarI think it's very interesting museum, I like to know about VINCENT VANGOH, he was born in Holland in 1853 the eldest son of minester and booksellers daughter he tried several vocations incluiding those of art dealer and preachear before deciding to become and artist at the age twenty seven
vangoh was mostly a self-taught artist,gift with keen vision and an amazing memory with things he had seen. Vincent vangoh like visited museums and galleries to study the works of the old masters and to keep up on current trends in art, He take the ideas to paint from the japanese prints, he inspired his paints in the ilustration of the contemporary magazines.
He started his drawings with pencil and pen about social situation and poor people, being precursors of modern art houndred produced nearly nine paintings and drawings more than 1.100.
I really don't like Van Gogh, the Neo-impressionist is not my prefered genere, of course he had skills but i prefer other artists, he is some of the reasons i like Holland, produce 900 paintings is not easy, but impressive in just 37 years, the museum seems interesting but they don't really have a good collection of this artist, the page is not the best i've seen and the information is repetitive so here i had to use some strategies ive learned.
ResponderEliminarreally liked this reading about the life and work of van Gogh as in this page, and was very interactive artwork that shows the large number of drawings which were over 1100 and nearly 900 paintings in which several its various painting techniques such as contrast and use of perspective.
ResponderEliminarTHE HISTORY AND ORIGIN OF HALLOWEEN
ResponderEliminarOrigins
What we know today as Halloween or Halloween are celebrated more than 3000 years ago by the Celts, a warrior people who lived in areas of Ireland, England, Scotland and France. Precisely on 31 October, the Celts celebrated the end of the year with Samhain, a pagan holiday. European immigration to the United States, mainly of Irish Catholics in 1846, the tradition of Halloween came to America.
Who were the Celts?
They came originally from Asia to form the trunk, as a member of Indo-Germanic people, who settled in western Europe in the twentieth century BC and inhabited the central and northern Europe. For the year 1000 BCE spread throughout the British Isles, northern France, part of Switzerland and northern Italy. Invaded Spain in the ninth century BCE Their language was Indo-European, which is a few literary records.
For the fourth century BCE were displaced from central and northern Europe as a result of the arrival of other peoples, Germanic groups.
WHAT IS HALLOWEEN?
When Emperor Constantine decreed that the inhabitants of his empire to convert to Christianity, many pagan rituals were introduced. That was how the festival of Samhain infiltrated.
By the eighth century, the Christian Church became the 1st of November at the All Saints Day to honor all the saints who did not have a particular day of celebration. Over the years these festivals combined, and most called 'All Hallowmas "(the mass of all the saints, holy people) at All Saints' Day. The night before became known as "All Hallows Eve" (Eve of All Saints Day). Over time, his name became Halloween.
The custom of trick or treating from door to door (trick-or-treating) became popular around 1930. It is believed, does not go back to Celtic culture it derives from a practice that emerged in Europe during the ninth century souling call, a kind of service for the souls.
While many religious people think that this festival is done with the purpose to worship the devil or demons, the truth is that it has become a fun date for the child.
In general it is a tradition in the U.S. more important in that country
Finally the conclusion will be no one to take as an insult to Christianity and there will be others who see it as an opportunity to go trick-healthy with their kids and share with them.
