"Today is Rembrandt’s birthday! Vincent van Gogh greatly admired him: he called Rembrandt a magician several times in his letters and the "great and universal master portrait painter of the Dutch Republic".Vincent van Gogh also made a copy from part of an etching by Rembrandt, depicting the bible story of Lazarus.

Today’s artist is a 24 years-old Swede photographer currently living in Göteborg. His photo-manipulation are both realist and imaginary at the same time.They are creates from photos of people, places and elements from everyday life http://erikjohanssonphoto.com/
Today ,Google Doodle remember us the anniversary of the celebrated architect, Antoni Gaudí. I love whole his production , every building, every piece of ceramic that decorates his works, but if I have to declare my passion by him, that´s my favourite!!!
In 1883 Güell asked to Gaudí to transform Guell Cottage (finca Guell), mainly the garden and the construction of two entrance pavilions: a gatekeeper's house on one side of the entrance and stables on the other side.
The most spectacular element of Finca Güell is the wrought-iron gate that links the two pavilions. The upper part of the gate is shaped like a dragon with bat wings. Gaudí created the dragon by using standard industrial products which he bent and welded together.
The gate is hinged on a tall pillar. The pillar symbolizes the tree of the golden apples. Both the tree and the dragon are references to the labours of Hercules, the mythical founder of Barcelona.
Sometimes, we can find absolute masterpieces where the real and artwork seem the same . When Photography´s birth was attributed to John Herschel in 1839, Arts, mainly Drawing and Painting changed forever and the figurative representation of people, landscapes or daily objects turn into spots, colours, and lines very expresive but not related to "real thing". It was the arrival of movements called Expressionism, Cubism, Abstract Art etc. But in the current time of Art phenomena, there is place too for Realistic and Hyperrealistic drawings. Just I wish to show you a few examples:
2012-2013 academic year has just finished. It´s summertime, I mean, free time, sun, beach,,..but what´s up with your English?
Spend five minutes a day to learn new words and at least, read a book in English.
Let´s go, it´s easy!
If you are one of those who think Japanese movies hide, in its majority, authentic jewels of art, you might look for Hayao Miyazaki´s new movie:'Kaze Tachinu'.The premier will be next 20th July and I can only show you this frame.
CALPURNIA: When beggars die there are no comets seen;
The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes. CAESAR: Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders that I have yet heard, It seems to me most strange that men should fear, Seeing that death, a necessary end, Will come when it will come.
Unfortunately, I won´t stay with you in next days, maybe, weeks, so you´ve to pay attention to our blog in order to know the current activities of the second term.
1st level
Little by little, try to finish photocopies about lettering . Remember the exercise about your selfportrait.
Draw a portrait of any fellow doing a simple sketch. Write the name of the parts of the face in your own drawing.
2. Draw your self portrait. First, you have to divide a drawing worksheet into four parts. In each part you will create a different version of your self portrait, for example, one using dots, another one using lines, others applying several techniques... Finally, in the reverse face of the sheet or in another one, do bigger your portrait in your favourite technique (you can mix the use of felt-tip-pens, watercolours, collage... or combine dots, lines, spots of colours, etc.)
You have to draw different drawings using your classmates like models, at least, five. ( EXERCISE 6.3 of your notebook). Read carefully the instructions and pay attention to images attached.
Sports car
line, appreciate aesthetics, color and aerodynamics.
In the
video we demonstrate its stability, power, pleasure driving.
The figure
of Fernando Alonso transmits speed, triumph and love driving.
Difference:
The video
is impressive for its special effects, the movement of the snake, the struggle
between the animal and the car. Photography is static, does not transmit all
the power of the vehicle.

Newspaper.
Here is the Vodafone's newspaper's advert. You can see the Vodafone's logo and the information about an offer.
.In TV.
Here is the same girl looking photos in the mobile. When she finds one of them who doesn't like, she deletes it, but also all the contacts that where in the mobile phone.
Thanks to the offer the father can recover them.
Differences: In the newspaper advert you only see a girl with a mobile phone and the offer over she, but in the oder you can watch a funny history, specially the face of the girl when she knows that all the contacts are deleted.

Newspaper´s advert
Here we can see a red telephone with wheels. There is a red computer mouse next to it and under these two objects we can read: Lineadirecta.com
TV´s advert
On this advert we can see a man who is driving, he is having fun looking to the landscape when suddenly he has a traffic crash. Finally a voice says that you must call lineadirecta.
Differences
The most important difference beetwen these two adverts is that the second one is funny and it has a story but the first one is only the logo of the brand. I like much more the TV´s advert because it is longer and funnier and I thnk that the first one is really boring. I loved the man´s face
In this image we can see a ,green, black and silver, really futuristic trainer with a completely black backgorund. On the upside left corner, we can see Nike's logo with a very funny sentence under it:
"...Run like your arse is on fire."
Tv's commercial:
In this commercial we can see a woman, who is wearing Nike trainers, and a man, who isn't. Then, they start singing as they run, a song made up for the commercial (I would run to you).
As the commercial carries on we can see that the man starts being really tired and sick, but the women is still running without a problem, because she is wearing Nike trainers.
In the end, he ends up in the hospital, and she, who is apparently his couple, gets to the hospital.
Differences:
Both commercials are totally different, but of course they both have similarities. They only talk about the brand, not about an specific product but in different ways.
In the paper's one, they are telling us that Nike is a really futuristic brand that will always be one step ahead. Like there aren't actors or songs, they try to attract us with their design of the shoe.
In the TV one, they are showing us the brand in a humoristic way, with actors and a song. They don't have to show you creative images or pictures, because the whole commercial is fun.
The commercial which I'm going to talk about deals with the very famous energy drink called "Red Bull".
NEWSPAPER COMERCIAL:
In this image we can see a can of "Red Bull" painted very realistic in the left which is opened and it has some raindrops on its surface. In the other side of the image there is the logo of the drink. Letters are red because they try to give you the impression of action, the adventure, the danger... and the other colour which is the yellow also tries to give you the impression of joy, curiosity, happiness...
TV COMMERCIAL:
The energy drink called "Red Bull" is the most known because it is the sponsor of many extreme sports such as snowboardind, skateboarding, rallying, BMX cycling, paracaidism... The commercial begins with an helicopter in which there is a paracaidist who jumped to the air. Then, in the rest of the commercial, appeared some people doing extreme sports for example a boy who is doing skateboarding in a skateparck or another boy which is cycling with his bike and he jumped from one box to the other making some tricks.
DIFFERENCES:
I think that TV commercials are better than newspaper adverts because they show you the product with more information, they are understood better by the public and they are funnier. But also adverts in newspapers are good because some of the images that they have are really realistic and in some cases they are easier to understand.
Here we only can see a beer and the slogan. This information is not sufficient to be sure to buy it, probably the creators should write more information. the slogan is: "Cerveza de un lugar llamado mundo". And it means: "Beer from a place called world".
TV commercial:
This commercial deals with a song called "Everything you didn't do (feat. Carlos Sadness, Frank T. & Nita Fuel Fandango)". The beer doesn't appear to be the point most important in this commercial.
Differences:
The differeces between both is that the TV commercial has much information of the product because the design of the newspaper's advert is very simple. In neither we can to know a lot of the beer but I think that is better the tv commercial. And this has the song that providing funnier than the other.

SHAPES In this shapes we can see a gout and a star
DOTS In this pictures we can see a lot of dots.Two pictures of the Cola Cao and La Joven de la Perla
La Joven de la Perla
LINES
There are a lot of pictures with lines very very beautifuls like this "el Grito" and paint by A.Rodriguez, two paintsare very interesting."El Grito" his author is Eduard Munch .
TEXTURES This pictures is of textures but the questions is: are real?
In this image we can see the new iPhone 5 in black. We can also see the front part and the back of the mobile and how narrow is it. Also it appears the slogan which is "The biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone"
TV COMMERCIALS:
These commercials deal with the new iPhone 5. Both of them show us the new characteristics of this mobile. For example, the first one tells us that now, with the new iPhone, you can take beautiful photos in panorama and on the second one it tells us that the screen from this new mobile is as big as our thumb, so it's easier to use it.
DIFFERENCES:
I think that the advert on the newspaper doesn't give you enough information about the product but the TV commercial does. Anyway in the commercial doesn't appear the slogan but that isn't as important as how is the mobile like.That's why I think that the TV commercial is better, also because it catches the attention more than the newspaper advert.
The new commercial about “Movistar Fusión” on written
press leave us indifferent, and goes quite unnoticed, while the TV ad of the
same service captures our attention, and fulfills its objectives of impress and
being remembered. We associate the music, “Come Together” by the Beatles, with
Movistar, and we often recall the product while we hum the song.
The new commercial about “Movistar Fusión” on written
press leaves us indifferent, and goes quite unnoticed.It just shows the different possibilities of
the product over a blue picture of a city. The slogan says: `Elcamino de la telefonía fija y movil´.
This is the TV commercial:
While the TV ad of the same service captures our
attention, and fulfills its objectives of impress and being remembered. We
associate the music, “Come Together” by the Beatles, with Movistar, and we
often recall the product while we hum the song. The commercial shows many people touching
phones and laptops as if they were an orchestra playing the song I’ve already
said.
Differences:
The written commercial can’t produce you an effect of
happiness and it doesn’t invite you to contract their phone and internet
services, instead of the TV commercial, that is more interesting.
