Johannes Vermeer, Girl with a Pearl Earring

A Girl with a Pearl Earring is one of the most famous paintings in the world. It might be as popular for the same reason as Mona Lisa which is the mysterious look that impresses viewers and the history hidden beneath it. Although this technique is very painstaking and time-consuming, the smoothness of brush strokes makes a unique character to the woman's face which is innocent and simple. The lighting has also a big impact on its atmosphere. It highlights most important elements and draw viewer's eyes.

Words: indeterminate, to gaze, painstaking
Some paintings have indeterminate meaning.
You should be painstaking to do your job properly.
I was gazing out of the window while travelling by train.

    You can't be PAINSTAKING, but the job could be. Check the usage and change your example sentence.

Living off the land of Hawaii

  Nowadays we're dependent on big industries and I think that it's a problem. Usually we have to buy food that shops provides us but it's getting less healthy because it's mass grown and polluted by dangerous chemicals. Whereas, if it's organic, it's usually more expensive. This video shows that there're still people who provides food for themselves by hunting or growing it. For some it may seem primitive but I think that it's better for the environment, healthier for us and also cheapier. words: remote place, descendant, self-sufficiency People usually don't live in remote areas. Children aren't self-suffient because they're dependent on their parents. After king's death his descendant inherits the crown. . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJXEepvG6Hc&pbjreload=10

Reflection 5

Every time I am in a modern art gallery I meet at least one person who don't know how they got in that place. They feel uncomfortable with the fact that they don't get artist intention and simply don't understand the meanings of these works of art. In the past artists had to follow specific rules which were created through the years. Basically they used to copy famoust art gurus all the time and just changed some details but the idea and topic of the painting was the same. It is also caused by the fact that old paintings are all very realistic so we know what are we looking at but from the time that impressionism appeared in the art world it started to be more complicated. I think that we should be more educated about modern art to be able to interprate it without so much effort. We should also have more guides in museum and art galleries who can tell us more about works of art.

Pablo Picasso

PABLO PICASSO Pablo Picasso was born on 25th of October 1881 in Malada and lived for 92 years, quite a long time. His father was an art teacher and a good drawer so he quickly discovered his son's big talent and started to push him to go to an art school. Not all people know how good he actually was. Most of them look at his cubist paintings (like Guernica and Women from Avignon) and wonder why it's so famous and what is genius in them. For some people they look like paintings made by children from kindergarten. But at the beginning of his career he was a naturalistic painter. Here are some of his works from that time. Guess what, he painted “The old fisherman” when he was only 14.               Portrait of an artist’s mother 1896                                                        ...
