Lara's class

Three years ago I started receiving English and French classes, Lara has been my teacher for all this time, I learned how to organize a text, how to take notes from a film or a video (TED), how to understand a book but the most important thing she taught me how to think. With Lara I made so much activities like describing myself, recipes and interesting things, she always let me show my point of view and my opinion.

She is one of the best teachers I ever had, she is original, creative... and I love it, for luck, she helped me, by reading and writing, be in that way too. Thanks you for all this years.

Danielle Feinberg

When she was eleven she wanted to be an artist but some well-meaning adults told her she couldn't make a living being an artist
She have always loved science and maths so she started studying computer programming from that moment she felt in love with the magic of animation short films.
Soon she started working at Pixar Animation Studios, making those movies she can make new worlds and bring robots to life play with lights and shadows with the computer, she make art, she is an artist, so yes, she could finally make a living being an artist.

Looks aren't everything. Believe me, I'm a model.

She is Cameron Russell, i love her talk, it is about the 

black models, there is a very low 

percentage of black models and the most of the black

 13-years-old girls are unhappy 

with their look because the beauty canon is a white, tall 

and blond woman, it is only marketing.

She said that the models are the most insecure people, 

and they sometimes are sad or 

depressed, most of the photos are edited and she 

said that she doesn't like it

I like it very much because i always think about why

 the canon beauty is a white girl and not a black ,

 they are pretty too and they have beautiful bodies.

The marketing hurts in teenagers a lot

 it has to be stopped

The Papalagi

A german anthropologist, called Erich Scheurmann, went to study a tribe in Tiavea, Upolu (one of the Samoan islands), and met Tuiavii, the village's chief. They started to get close to each other so Tuiavii told Erich his story.
The tiavean chief had been in Europe time ago but he came back impressed and disappointed about our culture. Tuiavii wrote about it, however never intended to show it to Erich until they finally had total trust.
In his texts he calls us Papalagi (white men) and he describes our culture as "a one way road to nowhere".
One of the best quotes of Tuiavii that the anthropologist could remember was "you fellow think that you can show us the light, but what you really do is try to drag us down into your pool of darkness.
Erich translated the book to german and published it.

KEN ROBINSON

Ken Rovinson works in education sector and 

he believes education is wrong,

 he thinks that teachers don't let 

children develop the way they are, they are creative 

since the moment of their 

birth and most teachers 

always stop the artistic side in the childhood. So 

education have to change for a better 

evolution in the society.

My life by 2028

When I grow up, I will have travelled to India because i love to travel far away and I will be working in a gym or training a swimming team in Majadahonda. As soon as I start to make a salary I will rent an apartment with a garden near Monte del Pilar because I hope i will have a dog.

I will make sport at night or in the morning because i like it and i hope it will always make me feel well and happy.

In 2028 i guess I will be spending christmas time and two weeks of summer with my family.

Anyways, I don't want to grow up fast because I like my age now.

can made other people judge you in 

different ways.

The Longest Ride

This is the story about a girl, Sofia, and a bull rider from North Carolina, Luke Collins. They met after a bull riding competition and they exchange phone numbers. Few days later they went out on a date. When they were coming back home, they saw a crashed car by the side of the road, consequently they saved the man who was inside it and Sofia took from the car a box with a lot of letters. When the man, Ira, woke up in the Hospital, he asked Sofía if she could read the letters for him.

Through Ira's letters we go to the past (to the time of Ira's youth) when he met his wife, Ruth. This is the story that Sofia read every time she would visit Ira. From here continue the story of Sofía and Luke. In terms of being together, Sofia felt she had to refuse a job offer  in an art gallery in New York and Luke stopped riding bulls after getting over an important challenge.

The story of Ira and Ruth was so beautiful, they overpassed two problems but they were finally happy. Ruth loved art as much as Sofía and she had plenty of paintings in her house, that's why Ira asked his lawyer to do an auction of the paintings of his late wife once he had died. In this auction, Luke bought a work of art for Sofía and by chance for them, Ira had said that the person who would buy that specific portrait would get the full collection.

Finally Sofía opened her own art gallery with those paintings and Luke continued working in his range.

Self Portrait I: Citius, Altius, Fortius

Maturity is the ability to relate to others' realities,and not only to once's own. -J. Donald Walters-

  A teacher in the southwest once asked the children in his class to draw pictures of themselves he recalled, "The American children completely cover the paper with drawings of their bodies, but my Navajo students drew themselves differently. They made their bodies much smaller and included in the picture the nearby mountains, canyon walls, and dry desert washes. To the Navajo, the environment is as much a part of who they are as their own arms or legs".
  The understanding that we are a part of something larger than ourselves is Nature's greatest gift. With this understanding, our sense of identity expands and, by extension, so does our compassion for all living things.

SEBASTIAO SALGADO

THE SALT OF THE EARTH

Sebastiao Salgado describes photography as a lifestyle. His purpose by taking pictures is to show us different cultures around the world, how tribes live in the Amazone's jungle, in Africa or in the north pole, how people and pollution are destroying nature, how we are ignoring poverty in the world and how children die of hunger and dehydration.

The fact that impressed me the most is when Salgado explains with pictures the Amazon's tribe and their life.
I think The Salt of the Earth is a documentary that made me wake up and show me the reality and the risk of living in an other part of the world where there's nothing to survive.

VOGUE like a painting

This summer l visited an exhibition of 

the french magazine Vogue in the Thyssen museum.There were a lot of beautiful photographies and two amazing dresses.

The art work were very colourful and also some in black and white.We could find characters from the old history or fashionable models with make up of different colours.

I love this type of art and this 

exhibition made me feel alive and happy.
