Art Report- Vincent Willem Van Gogh
I always
heard talk about Van Gogh, at school, on the street, on television; also
already seen some of his works. But I never stopped to research its history,
and lately my prof. arts Roberto spent as raw '' Van Gogh '' and I enjoyed
these classes, it's good learn more about a so painter famous I came to like
and appreciate Van Gogh.
Vincent
Willem van Gogh was his name, was born on March 30, 1853 and died on July 29,
1890. Committed suicide and had mental problems (it's what they say). the
curiosities that my teacher gave were some: Vincent was framed by expressionist
paintings, different paintings of the time. While he was alive he sold one of
his paintings "Red Vineyard " in exchange for food, and when he died
his paintings began to be sold (for very high prices). And there is something
very interesting in his paintings, when the work had quite the color yellow is
because he was at peace with himself and when the work have strong and dark
colors is because he was disturbed.
Vincent
Willem van Gogh is a painter who impressed me with his works and its history.

Book Review-The Fault In Our Stars
A book with
young characters, involving drama and fun. A book that brings a lot of
emotions.
The Fault
In Our Stars is a book written by John Green and tells the story of a teenager
named Hazel Grace who lives since child with thyroid cancer (which brought a
pulmonary metastasis). She does not have long to live, so do not like to make
new friends and go out a lot, but still not lose the mood and do not becomes
the victim. Her mother the does go in a
support group of teenagers with cancer. The story changes when she meets
Augustus Waters, also young, former basketball player who had one leg amputated
because of osteosarcoma; it is also humorous and loves life. Thenceforth the
two try to enjoy the best possible way the last few days of life together.
This is a
book that mixes melancholy, sweetness, philosophy, fun and love. A book that
brings true love between two young people in their last days, and that will
make you laugh, cry and want more.
William Shakespeare
William
Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon April 23, 1564
,— Stratford-upon-Avon, April 23, 1616) was a poet, playwright and
English actor, considered the greatest writer in the English language and the
most influential playwright in the world. It is often called England's national
poet and "Bard of Avon" or simply The Bard. Of his works, including
those in collaboration, remain until today 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long
narrative poems, and a few sparse verses, whose authorship, however, are still
disputed. His plays have been translated to all major modern languages and are
staged more than those of any other playwright. Many of his texts and themes,
especially the theater, remain alive to this day, being revisited frequently,
especially in theater, television, film and literature.
FEW PHRASES TO WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE:
"Better to be king of your silence than
slave to your words."
"Anger is a poison we drink waiting for
the others die."
"A man who no feeds on their dreams, ages
early."
"I plant my garden and decorate my soul
instead of waiting for someone bring me flowers!"
"The words are full of falsehood or art;
the look is the language of the heart. "
"It's easier to get what you want with a
smile than with the tip of the sword."

Play Musical Review- The Moon and the Poet
A play very well thought out. The actors (a man and a woman) act with a
lot of emotion and transmit feelings for who is watching. The elements used in
the scene are full of symbols and bring the culture of the city it will be
quoted in history.
The play comes to Federico Garcia Lorca, who was a Spanish poet and
playwright who inspired young people, children and even adults with their
liberator work. He was executed in the city of Granada as one of the first
victims of the Spanish Civil War.
The Moon and the Poet is based on the last day of the poet, before he
was arrested and executed in the city of Granada. All piece is counted in
Carmen garden where he finds a child (girl), we realize that in fact this child
was Federico in its infancy. And thenceforth the two characters begin to talk
about fears and dreams.
That's a very interesting piece because it makes the people who are
watching participate the piece, joining all the information to make sense. They
do not give all the information ready, they help just giving '' clues''.
