The best of my "fiestas patrias"!

Hi there everyone!
Today I will tell you about all the things that I did during "fiestas patrias". First that all you should know that this is one of the most important parties in my country, I even would say that is the most important one. It's a great celebration where we, as chilean people do a lot of traditional activities, such as dancing "cueca", drinking "chicha", making a lot of barbacues, going to "fondas" and many more. What I did this year was a couple of barbacues with my friends and we decided to drink only "chicha" in honor to the celebration. I had a great time, laughing a lot and seeing my friends almost everyday. This year was special too, because we had three holidays, instead of two as it has always been. So the party didn't stop in about five days jeje. But it was nice to have those days to be relax and have fun with my friends and family. I just can't wait till the next 18 arrives!! But meanwhile I'll have to prepare myself for another great celebration... the new year!! Jaja, no, I was joking, but I can't deny that I'm eager for vacations to come and this heavy heavy year to pass. It's incredible how the time goes and goes, still this time at university has been great.
Well, I hope you all had enjoyed this 18 as I did, so see you soon!!
Bye!!

A great piece of art: "The shout"



Hi everyone!

This time I'm going to talk a little bit about art. I'm not really an expert in this area, but I can't say that I don't like art, because I consider my self a musician, and at least, I love music as a way of making art. But now, I want to show a particular piece of art that I like very much. I'm talking about "The shout", a painting of Edvard Munch that I'm pretty sure you all should know. The most amazing part of this painting, at least for me, is the expression of the shouting man, it's incredible how Munch creates it with just a few lines, it's like so expressive and empty at the same time. I know it sounds weird, but that is what I see in that face. Also the colors of the sky call my attention, the whole enviroment makes you want to scream! And those siluets behind the man... They look very scary.
Well I hope you consider this painting a great piece of art as I do.

Post your comment! Bye!!
