Reflection 9

  Lately I've been thinking about efficiency of home schooling. That's because I saw a video in which a girl said that she already graduated when she was just 15 and it was because she was home schooling not because she was some kind of genius. For me it seems really extraordinary because of her age. That on the other hand reminded me of the time when I was trying to catch up with the chemistry material last summer because I wanted to study with bio-chem class the following year. I remember that in about 4 weeks I managed to learn nearly all the material which that class did in half a year. Since I've been going to these chemistry classes I realized that sometimes we are required to learn some stuff that is completely useless like e.g. handbook definitions from which we are questioned on every lesson in front of class. Now I'm not so sure if I did the right thing to study chemistry at school because I actually might be able to study it with the same exam results and less stress for my own.

Guernica

                               GUERNICA As a conclusion of the topic about Picasso I decided to write about Guernica. It's a painting which Pablo painted in 1937 and now it's known at the global scale. It's probably one of the most famous paintings of Picasso. It is 349 cm high and 776 cm wide, so it's more like a mural painting but it's not on the wall but on a huge canvas. The whole process of creating was documented by a photographer who he dated then, Dora Maar. It can be know admired in the National Museum of Art in Madrid with her photos. The history of the masterpiece refers to the bomb that was dropped at a village in the North of Spain, Guernica. It caused a lot of damage including killing many civils. This was actually the first time when the artist painted something as a reaction to a political problem. Guernica shows the tragedy of war and suffering of the innocent. We can see there,...

Is it possible to live plastic free?

Our society has a serious problem with plastic consumption. We use so much of it that we can't deal without it. The video showed how a man challenged himself to live plastic free for a month. It wasn’t easy because nowadays most of food products are wrapped in plastic. There is also a problem with expenses because usually eco food is more expensive but sometimes it's cheaper e.g. buying coffee in your own reusable cup gives you discount. I think that regardless of the difficulty we should try to use less plastic to protect the environment but probably it's not possible to live completely free of it. words: penalty, incentive, to throw oneself into sth I threw myself into that work and couldn't stop doing it. Some people think death penalty should be legalised Kids sometimes needs an  incentiv e to eat food they don't like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC9TYktAWfM

Picasso's women

                                                                     Picasso's women When we look at Picasso’s paintings we can see a lot of women’s portraits and acts. The reason is Picasso as many other artists had his muses. In a huge number of his mistresses there are only 7 with whom he lived for a longer time and who had influence on his art. The first one was Fernande Olivier  (1881-1996). He met her in 1904 when he moved to France. In 1907, when Fernande was with someone else he painted famous "Les demoiselles d'Avignon”. It is supposed that the feeling of jealousy had influence on him while painting the masterpiece. The second one was Eva Gouel. She was with the artist for 4 years and died because of tuberculosis in 1915. His first marriage was with Olga Koklova, a Ukraine woman, who gave b...
