Banksy in the gun sight: Banksy artwork painted over in Hackney

http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2009/sep/03/banksy-artwork-painted-over-hackney

Banksy is a very well known artist, he paints on walls, he is a graffitti artist.Last week the Hackney council sent a group of workers to paint over a graffitti done eight years ago. People from Stoke Newington didn't agree with the decision, they were devasted because every graffitti was removed from the streets and the authorities never consult to the owner of the building that had the painting on, they said the tried to contact her. The responses they gave(the council) were "Hackney council does not make a judgment call on whether graffiti is art or not, our task is to keep Hackney's streets clean." And that is The point, they just make their work but don't worrie about the artistic value of the things, is easy to make a difference between somethin according to the landscape and well painted and that also has a sense in comparison of scrawls or messages that have no sense and just are done for people who want to scratch.

I would like to write about...

I am not sure about the things I want to write, my mind is still processing the information. I just know that my favorite things that could turn into a topic will be the music, some of the british culture, something about ireland, I don't know why but I love that country, emm...for my classmates, maybe the topic of music, specially things about tastes in every kind of situation. Obviously the first ting I think about is art because everyone here is studing it and we all have a different specialities so that makes it a very intresting topic.

Mr. Ken Robinson

Talking about education and the human creativity, Mr. ken robinson says that we(the whole world) must arise the education in a differeent way because the world is changing, and the information now is more available than before. The educaton for people now is not as far as some years ago but this system is not working for the actual times because it was designed for another kind of society and know it kills creativity when sould not do that, the education sould help children to find their talents. He took a very importat point about the early education and the orientation for children to accept the mistakes and not to teach them to be afraid of it and just teach them to be preppared to be wrong.This is important to develop the creativity.
He talked about the intelligences, the different caracteristics it has and how the education is only focused in a few kinds of it.

Being honest I never worked before in a blog but I've learnt at least how to use this in a single way . I didn't enjoy this so much because writing the tasks sometimes takes me a lot of time but I've improved my english through this instrument because I'm forced to look for new words and pay attention to the things I'm writing like grammar, vocabulary etc. , this is one of the reasons why it takes me so much time because I have learnt english almost by myself, watching english tv programms and investigating about the language.
I think making an english blog is a very updated way to work , is easier than writing down a paper, you make the corrections here, you can write one day and then continue another day, these are the advantages but, on the other hand the time sometimes is not enough and I think we gave this class less importance than the activities at university like daily homeworks that sometimesa are hard.This is the only disadvantage I see.
Blogs are a very good tool for learning, personally I have another blog where I post things related to music with two friends.

The best man or woman



Mmm this is a difficult task for me , very difficult because I don't know who is the best in my area I don't have any special taste for someone but I'll try my best.
Well I think that one of the persons I admire nowadays is my professor Arturo Cariceo because he is very updated and knows a lot about contemporary art and things ralated with everything you can do in this area, since painting to unbelievable resources . He is always investigating and has created something he calls "invisible art".He has travelled around the world collecting knowledges for himself and the improvement of the education.

My best future

Well starting from now I would like to pass my entire career and find a job to, to save money for my future because I would like to study music after this career, not in a university and to move myself into another place.
The years after 5 years proposed I would like to live in a quiet place, very natural where I could have peace and silence and if I wake up the sound of the birds singing will be the best thing in the morning.
I wouldn't care if I don't have big house or a lot of electronic things but one thing I could not live without will be my musical instruments and my pc with internet. One thing I dreamt to be since I was a little girl is to be a great artist and do my own work at home and this means i would like to work at home.
Related wih work I would like to be teaching art to other persons , I don't care if is at the school or wherever.
When I fullfill with all these thing I'll be a mother if I have a couple but all the things I've written can change along the time and all that i wrote could not be like I imagine, obviously I cannot have my future as planed as I said this is just an ideal future.

My favourite machine


My personal notebook always helps me with my tasks, I find it really usefull because I can use it in every place and moment(except in places where you know someone can steal it). I bought my own notebook one month ago and since the day I got it I use it every day because I think is the best tool with all the things I need for my art and also the things I want to find like books, programs or music but all this wouldn't be possible without internet.
I was thinking about mu life before computers , this will be possible but in a different place, not in a city where you need to save time and to be very productive but on the other hand life is not the same since the invention of the personal computer because everyone is accustomed to do some activities that makes your life easier like sending e-mails or sharing your information with friends. That saves you time you could not spend with complicated activities. If you have internet you can send information very quickly and every tool developed for writing, reading, editing, communicating etc. goes at the same time as the world changes.
