Assignment 5: Art



A pieces of art I like are the ones painted by Roberto Matta.

I love the mixt of shapes ando colours that he made in every piece of art. It´s notorius the influency of Dalí (another artist I like), but Matta as another favour point, he is Chilean.
I`ve always have love surrealism because I think is one of painting styles that allows you blow your mind and paint whatever you want, making sure that the colours you choose fix.
In one interwiew Matta refered to art, saying:
"I don´t pint, I see in spots a cosmos.
I start from spots.
Like people see cows in clouds, I see worlds in spots"

It was very hard to me find just one paint to include in this post, but I must do what the assignment said, so here it is...
This painting is called: Neruda, imagen de un centenario
Of course the painter is Roberto Matta
I choose this picture because It was made in honor to other Chilean Artist: Pablo Neruda

Assignment 4: Favourite Website

Speak about my favourite website is really difficult to me, because I don’t a favourite one. In fact, nowadays I use internet for just two reasons: to review my email and to resolve dudes related to university.

I remember when I was younger I had many favourites websites as matter of fact I used to spend hours a day visiting several sites. But I had two really favourites. The first one was La Cuerda, a website where you can find guitar tabs and lyrics. This one I used to visit almost every day when I could spend hours and hours playing guitar.

The second one is a site where you can play Pictograph (sometimes I still visiting it). In one time I was an addict to that game and I played every day, but now I don’t have time for things like that.


I will leave the links to both websites:
- All tabs you need to know
- An addictive game that you couldn’t stop playing
