English Experience
I like to use the blog in the English subject, because it is a very useful tool, and it's very comfortable to review and evaluate.
we can see the process of our level of english increasing and practice when we want :D.
In this career the English subject i think is important, because if we travel to another country to exhibit or study we need another language or when a curator comes to the country to show us his/her work, he or she will talk usually in English (if he/she is American or English or ffrom many countries that speak English).
I think many aspects of my english should improve, my vocabulary and a bit of grammar because sometimes i forget the formula to express the words and when I should talk to another person like foreigners we usually speak English and if you can't help him you feel sad ;(.
My plan is to start watching movies without subtitles, so you can understand what they are saying, that would be a progress
Outside the english class i use English (and Spanish) to teach a little bit to my parents. Also, I want to read some books that only come in english, i like to translate the publicity on the streets and learn how to speak more fluently.
The most significant use of english to me is to understand all the songs i always listen to. When i understand what they are saying i feel good, and i think my level is increasing.
I think english is a useful tool, to express in another way what we are feeling or thinking, to help and teach others is a good way to start enjoying it. Always learning a new thing is a good progress.

bad and good points
In this year i fell sick in many ways, because i had apendicitis starting the year but the doctor didnt get out because "it normalized", being sick sucks, because you have to take rest and dont go to the university, after the apendicitis i got a real strong cough like neumonitis, and again, I was in my home resting...
that was the first semester, the second were very funny, i started to do my Jobs very well, but suddenly my molars got out, and the denstist said: we need to remove them. so we are in november, i got my molars removed at finals of october, and now my dentist is making some cover at my cavities.
In the school and because my resting in the year, i got delay of my presentations of projects and Works, that sucks and lossing clases too.
so in my workshop i have to do two important Works to finish this year, and i got delay with one.
i would like never get sick.
One of my achievments of this year is a six mark on history of art, i suck at teoric subjects.
something that didnt so well was my health, i told ya.
When the year will done i'm going to do all of the things i like; play bass, tenis, football and hang over with my friends, i hope we can go to the beach again, just like the past year.
I have to go to a big concert: Incubus one of my favorite bands, i got my ticket so i'm waiting the day come.
i'm going to the concert with my girlfriend, my friends of my band and many people i know from the fan club of the band.
i hope this ending of year will be nice!

The Majesty
Today Im going to write about my favorite band of all: Dream Theater
they play progressive metal music, they are famous for talent and virtuosity, and all of them are Masters on each one instrument
In the drums, one of the best drummers in the world: Mike Portnoy (recently replazed by Mike Mangini). Portnoy left the band on 2011, and now he has another good bands like The Winery Dogs, Transatlantic, Adrenaline Mob. All of his news projects are awesome, other style and more like Rock. Dream Theater maked two albums after the left of Mike Portnoy. The sound of their doesn't change much, and Mangini either doesnt bad. But Portnoy was the founder of the band, and thats very important.
The guitar: John Petrucci, in some words He is Jesus, if you Type "John Petrucci" on google, jesus will appear, He plays the guitar like god, fast, tapping, picking, chords, etc. He is another founder of DT, he met Portnoy on Berklee College, and make some projects called "Majesty", their first songs and meetings.
On the Bass, John Myung, he is mysterious, but he can follow the lead guitar picking on the bass, a gift of god, sincerelly he can make anything on the bass, I've never heard about "Slapping", but if he do Slap on bass, maybe the amplifier will broke
The Piano, and keyboards: Jordan Rudess, He is bold, and well, another genius, he plays amazing too and he is in the band since 1999 in replazed of Derek Sherinian (another mysterious guy and talented as ****)
On the Vocals, The first Singer was Charlie Dominici, and then (after the first album), James LaBrie arrived Since 1992 James Has been the Front man of this beautiful and full of history and talent band. They have more than 10 albums (12), they still play around the world, and They have come four times to Chile, I could go three times, 2005 and 2011 and 2012, the last time he came to Chile, I won a Meet and Greet, to meet Mike Portnoy and Jordan Rudess, He signed My T-shirt, and some Dvd's, but the happy of that moment was unbelievable I hope they still play, because they have a great show and monumental music

Free Topic: Friends

I don't like to select a friend and put their on the "best",I think they all are the best. but then...
I have a "best" friend, his name is Javier, and he is right of my girlfriend, in the middle with a red shirt, i know him since 8th grade at school, and now we have a band, we hang over together all the time. we have in common so much things that we can´t write now, but we have music, bands, other friends but the most important i think is the friendship, because we never let down another.
Javier doesn't like much study, i think that's the difference between he and me.
I like him because i can talk about anything with him, also we have a nice fiatus(like chemistry) on playing music.
With Javier we get drunk on Saturdays, sometimes smoke some weed, but anyway we have fun together.
We've never fight, or discuss very hard, we just talk, or play some jamming, and the thing its done
The nicest experience that i lived with him, is that in two time we went to Dream Theater's concert, that is the band what get us together since we met, and that's all the matters.
Free Post: Pop Art
Pop art is a avant-grade really interesting because it can apply to our present, because pop is a concept that the people consume, forever, the people will consume everything, industrial, things that we don't need. anything is pop. music, clothes, movies, even visual arts.
Andy Warhol was an American artist who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement.

This may be the first pop art work, for Andy Warhol the beginning of his career. Is called "Campbell Tomato Soup" This painting was so polemic, and generated debate. We can say that this painting isn't "artistic", but, It give us surprise, reflections, taughts and many other things.
Roy Lichtenstein was another important pop artist. His work was very interesting, and can be more "artistic" than Warhol, because in his works he used industrial merchandising and many other things, for technique of art of comic, is being developed by Lichtenstein.

Inspired in the style of comic, Lichtenstein Show us his work. A kiss is very potent, and express many things.
Lichtenstein favorite and most popular works were like this, emotive, expressive, and very Pop.
