CLAUDE MONET

I really love this man, and all his work of art, simply because he plasma all his deep feelings and emotions with a canvas, paintbrush and oil painting, in a magic form. How can a man express so beautiful? this is the question that i ask myself every time that i have the fortune of admire one of his paints.

he was born in Paris, France and died at his 86 years old of life. He fought against the will of his father, because His father wanted him to go into the family grocery store business, but Claude Monet wanted to become an artist.

On the first of April 1851, Monet entered the Le Havre secondary school of the arts. He first became known locally for his charcoal caricatures, which he would sell for ten to twenty francs. Monet also undertook his first drawing lessons from Jacques-François Ochar. But disillusioned with the traditional art taught at universities, in 1862 Monet became a student of Charles Gleyre in Paris, where together shared new approaches to art, painting the effects of light en plein air with broken color and rapid brushstrokes, in what later came to be known as Impressionism.

He was a founder of French impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to landscape painting. The term Impressionism is derived from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise.

if you love so much art as me, maybe you can ejoy theses amazing paintings.

MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES

Knowing and be conscious that every body have different ways of learning can be very useful for our students and even for ourselves.



For some of us it is relatively easy to understand how a flower grows but it is immensely difficult for us to understand and use a musical instrument. For others music might be easy but playing football is difficult. however you can find people who have the majority of intelligences, but in my personal opinion i believe that every body can develop the intelligence that prefer, the only thing that you need is be interesting in developing it and make an effor for improving your capacities in a determinate intelligence, if you practice and practice your brain will be adapt in the activities that you now practice.


for example if you don´t like read, and your reading comprehension is so baddly you can beging to acostumbrate your brain, doing this activity, so in a short period of time you will have a good reading level. in egual form with mathematics etc...
nowadays exist eight different kinds of intelligences, for instance:

1. Kinaesthetic - Body Smart: You may be body smart. You will enjoy sports and are good at swimming, athletics, gymnastics and other sports. This is sometimes called being Kinaesthetic smart.


2. Logical - Number Smart:You may be number smart. You will be good at mathematics and other number activities; you are also good at solving problems. This is sometimes called being Logical smart.

3.Intrapersonal - Myself Smart:You may be myself smart. You will know about yourself and your strengths and weaknesses. You will probably keep a diary. This is sometimes called being Intrapersonal smart.


4.Visual/Spatial - Picture Smart:You may be picture smart. You will be good at art and also good at other activities where you look at pictures like map reading, finding your way out of mazes and graphs. This is sometimes called being Visual/Spatial smart


5. Linguistic - Word Smart:You may be word smart. You will enjoy reading, writing and talking about things. This is sometimes called being Linguistic smart.


6. Interpersonal - People Smart:You may be people smart. You will like to mix with other people and you will belong to lots of clubs. You like team games and are good at sharing. This is sometimes called being Interpersonal smart.


7.Musical - Music Smart:You may be music smart. You will enjoy music and can recognise sounds, and timbre, or the quality of a tone. This is sometimes called being Musical smart.



8. Naturalistic - Nature Smart:You may be nature smart. You will like the world of plants and animals and enjoy learning about them. This is sometimes called being Naturalistic smart.

"if you know yourself and your capacities, your learning will be better, if you know the intelligences of your students they will can to pull out and develop all their capacities".

Which Perfume?


Many people have no idea how to choose a perfume. They go to the department store, try a few sample and decide by a fragrance. But that was the correct decision? How to know that?
Before to buy a perfume you have to be more informed for taking a good decision, after all, perfume is a significant investment, your perfume show to everybody your personality and that form people remember you.
Fist of all you have to know the meaning of the words on the cover of the perfume's packaging. Here you can see specific information, perfumes have wrote (eau perfume, eau toilette.) etc. This information show us how much essence to contain, how much is pungent the aroma, its aromatic compounds and the most important, its intensify and duration of the fragance.

There are 4 types of "perfume", commonly labeled on the packaging.

1. Perfume Extracts contain 20-40% aromatic compound.
2. Eau de Parfum contain 10-30% aromatic compound.
3. Eau de Toilette contain 5-20% aromatic compound.
4. Eau de Cologne has 2-5% aromatic compound.

But people commonly miss out on this. Sometimes they prefer longer duration, but ended buying Eau de Toilette. So make sure you are aware of this before going on your next perfume shopping trip.

Other additional information that you have to know, is the family group that the perfume belongs and the notes of its scent.

Perfumes are differents in every body
Before choosing a perfume, it is very important to realize this: You have your own unique scent. When you use the exact same perfume your neighbor uses, the fragrance on you becomes different from the fragrance on your neighbor. This is important because a perfume that is right for your neighbor may not be right for you. So buying a perfume someone else is worse!Before buying a perfume, be it for yourself or as a gift to others, consider first your daily lifestyle and the activities you do. Consider also the type of person using the perfume. If you are hip and fun kind of person, you don't want to smell sexy and slutty. That is not bad, but it's just not you! Consider also the climate of where you are living. Heat often evaporates perfume faster and cold temperature or humid conditions strengthen it.When shopping for perfumes, do yourself a favor. Do not try too many samples. It can confuse you which is which. Many suggested using coffee beans to "reset" your nose.Do not spray too much samples on you. Use a "tester paper". If you like it, then spray it on your pulse point. Leave it for an hour and see if you still like it. This is important because perfumes changes their fragrance over time. The Top note (the immediate scent) is different from the middle note (the scent 2-30 mins after application) which is also different to the base not (the scent after 30 mins of application). It is important that you like the fragrance of the perfume throughout its life.


Applying Perfumes And Other Tips
Applying your perfume correctly is just as important as choosing the right perfume. The general rule to applying perfume is not use too much. many people use too much

The real art of applying perfume is to find the right place where you have pulse pointssuch as your neck, behind your knees, between breasts and of course in your wrist.Remember never to spray perfume directly on your clothings because it will leave a stain and difficult to remove. Therefore always apply your fragrance before you dress.

SCOTTISH TERRIER

Dogs are another of my passions, but i will talk about my pet´s breed.


maybe you know she, my most valuable gift "AURELIA"

This breed is originated of Scotland, they were introduced to America in the early 1890´s . the first man who had a scottish terrier was the king James VI, so since that moment the popularity for this breed began ti increase through the world.

This breed is amazing. They are alert, quick, feisty, independent, playful, intelligent, tempestous but also quite sensitive dogs, with a rugged nature and endless determination, in addition scotties are so reserved with stranger and maybe aggressive around other dogs unless introduced at an early age.

however this breed is inclinated to be stubborn, it needs firm, gentle handling from an early age or it will dominate the household.

Scotties have low stature, with a strong muscukar body and neck, short and stout legs, a head large in proportion to the body with erect ears, their eyes are small, bright and dark brown colour. the funniest are their longer coat on the beard, eyebrows, legs and lower body.


FAMOUS SCOTTIES
Scottie is the only breed of dog that has lived in the white house of United states, the president Geoge W. Bush is the own of two scottish terrier, called Barney and miss Beazley.

WHAT IS MUSIC?





THIS ARTICLE IS ABOUT MY PERSONAL OPINION!

I THINK THAT MUSIC IS ART AND SCIENCE,
YOU CAN´T SEE OR TOUCH MUSIC ONLY FEEL IT.



MUSIC IS THE ART THAT CONSIST IN COMBINATE SOUNDS AND SILENCES, EXPRESSED THROUG TIME, HOWEVER NOBODY KNOWS ITS ORIGIN, IT IS A MISTERY, I THINK THAT MUSIC IS THE MOST PERFEC SCIENCE AND THE UNIQUE PERSON WHO COULD CREATE THIS SUPERNATURAL SCIENCE WAS GOD, MUSIC IS LIKE THE EXPRESSION OF GOD, FOR THIS REASON IS THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.


MUSIC IS THE WAY FOR KNOWING HOW DO YOU SEE THE WOLD. IN MUSIC "EMOTIONS, INTELLECT AND IMAGINATION ARE ARTICULATE THROUG SOUND.


MUSIC ALLOW US TO EXPRESS OUR FEELINGS AND IDEAS ABOUT OURSELVES AND OUR PLACE IN THE WORLD.


MUSIC IS FUNDAMENTAL FOR SHOWING THE CULTURAL EXPRESSION OF EACH COUNTRY. MUSIC PLAYS AND IMPORTAND ROLE IN EVERY SOCIETIES.



SOME INFORMATION ABOUT MUSIC
THE PHILOSOPHER AND MATHEMATICAL PITÁGORAS, CREATED MATHEMATICS LAWS OF THE MUSICAL TONES, MATH IS A BRANCH OF MUSIC, FOR THIS REASON GREEKS BELIEVED THAT MUSIC WAS FUNDAMENTAL IN THEIR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.


IN THAT TIME PITÁGORAS HAD A FAMOUS SCHOOL, IN THAT PLACE HE TAUGH MUSIC AND MATHS HOW THOSE WERE THE SAME SUBJECT...AFTER SOME YEARS, MUSIC AND MATH BEGAN TO BE TAUGH AS DIFFERENT SUBJECTS.
THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF MUSIC ARE MELODY, HARMONY, RHYTHM AND TIMBER.
MELODY: IT IS A RHYTHMICAL SEQUENCE OF SINGLE TONES, SO RELATED TO ONE ANOTHER AS TO MAKE UP A PARTICULAR PHRASE OR IDEA.


HARMONY: COMBINATION OF SOUNDS, CONSIDERESD PLEASING TO HEAR.


RHYTHM: MUSICAL MOVEMENT THROUG TIME


TIMBRE: QUALITIES OF A SOUND THAT DISTINGUISHES IT FROM OTHER SOUNDS OF THE SAME TIME.

THE DREAM OF BEING A GOOD TEACHER

Education plays one of the most important roles in the human life. Education is all in the human’s life of the people, but having a good process depends of having an excellent teacher:
* A good teacher is that able person develops all the aspects their students, not only knowledge but values, principles and culture, showing the importance of family.
* Teacher is an example of life, it is that person who gives selfconfidence to their pupils, helping to vanquish the fear, exploding their talents and abilities, allowing them recognize their fortresses and weaknesses, accepting that all people are different. For this reason it is impossible that a good teacher can do distinction among their students.
* A good teacher is responsible children can find their way and develop their highest potential.
*good teachers know that in their hands is the training of the future leaders of our country.
* Teachers should know that their work affect society and the future of the whole world.
* Good teacher finds the needs of their students and the root of their problems either economics or emotional as long as problems related to sexual abuse or child’s work.
* A good teacher is that person who is worried for showing knowledge’s uses and giving meaning to the things that teaches.
* A good teacher doesn’t give the knowledge their students, formulate questions for being the students who learn by their own means and resources, based upon use of their reasoning, the good teacher motivates to their students to investigate and learn by their own experience.

“the good teacher doesn’t travel the knowledge way for their students only shows it, to guide and motivate them for getting it”
