Alebrijes...

Les Alebrijes...

Thanks to Pedro Linares (1906-1992) we can say that we know the Alebrijes... mythical creatures based on dragons with long tails, shiny colors, irreal things and a lot of mexican scence in the presentation.

The creator was the one of the most influencial people on the mexican cultural sence, however this representantion mythical creatures represent the dead, the life and most of the mexican imagination... however, not to many people could get this kind of things, because of the material that is so expensive, it's mostly about wood, or other materials, also the paint is really expensive, so it can stand trough the years, or the're others thar are pretty big and the price increases...

I know that most of the foreing people arownd the world know at leas one of this mythical creatures. This beautiful creatures has to be more exposed in the Mexican culture, because, the fact of create a single creature from the beggining and from the inside of the mind is really difficult, is like create an entire world based on the creatures that are now at time.

Other thing that this magnificent creatures had is that they are collectables, that also they got the hability to being in many zises, combining parts og the other animals, per example : a drangon face, the body of a buffalo, the legs of a Jaguar and the tail of a Horse... all combined in a single piece of wood, hand painted, others are made of paper, but combined with other materials so it can resist many conditions.

Folk Art...

Olvidamos lo que hace años era realidad...

THe mexicans... BY Elizabeth Bizarre...

We (the people) of the country... I call you back in order to obey the comands of the last centuries... we were a really proud tribe... of workers, of astronomers, of artist, painters, schulptures! where does that go at those years? I was asking that myself... the day that was the celebration of the Bicentenery of this year... there's been 200 years of freedom, freedom of what? we're the people of the sun, of the moon, of the war... but the War in a scence of doing good...

I'm so proud of what I am right now... Everytime that the people ask me about my country I say... It's not my country... is my home... my bothers sisters and parents are there... my granfathers work that land... they had that conection with the Earth!! THEY UNDERSTOOD SOMETHING THAT WE FORGOT SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE!


The way that we live in now at days... is tottaly different from what we really get used to... why should we give more importance to the things that doesn't are eternal, but forgot about the land that is our home... however the things had change... we're not in the times of forgot about out past... is sad but true...

However... we, the people, can make the difference now... we had the enough strainght to defeat the things that are "killing" us right now...

The way of the Mexican art, has to many brands to understand it... like the Alebrijes, creatures mixed and with a lot of colours on them... the food is a really important thing in the Mexican culture! who can't know the chiles en nogada, the tacos, the enchiladas, the frijoles and etc! that's a really important thing in the life of the mexicans!

The life of the real mexican should show proud, honestly and the biggest emotion to have that backgrownd in our hearts, in our blood, no matter if we're descendents of the Spanish, we're a mix of them... and by the time we're learning to accept our ancient roots...


Patriotism and Anarchy... both are healthy ways to live...

The Four Parts of the world :D

THis is the schulpture of the FOur parts of the world, representing Asia, Africa, America and Europe, The most important "parts" of the world representing the social development... Also it is showed in this Schulpture the magnificent masterpiece of how the creativity, with the image of woman, can be the purest thing in the world... also this is one of the most internal (as a way to say it) ways to express the love that you had to the world, the woman, as mother, is the one who give us birth, who feed us, who take cara of us, so by some reason it's showing that the Art piece is telling us that the 4 parts of the world, gived us the life, gived us the strong to stay here, to became the biggest humans ever...

As a mother sees for her child, the world is always lookig for us, so as a matter of reguard that efford to us, we shall rotect her, protect our mother earth... we might die, but she'll stay there always, till the end of her days, and that's why, more important for us is to take care of what we are...

"The Four Parts Of The World" By Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux Musée D'Orsay

Creativity and the social skills

The creativity... is a matter of being different, to see the things that the other people doesn't. Creativity's not sell in little boxes with a little cute bow on the top, it's found in the most cramble, unglorious, and poor places, whichever we didn't think that could be found. It's affected byt the social and historical context arownd the person. How this could be, the creativity shows us a new world, but sometimes is unofrtunelly confused with madness, sick, and non possible things. However... Is not always like this, the people who had really changed the world were the ones who used it's creativity to create, to innovate, to improove certain things that we thought it couldn't change... a good example was Van Gogh... No matter his sicknes of jelous... he could change several things, he saw the world in many ways, he had the vision of the future. NO one at the first time understands him, that's why his paintings didn't sold out when he was alive, but after his dead, wveryone could saw that he wasn't as mad as they thought! He was an impressionist, guided by his own creativity and pleasure of doing what he wanted or how does he felt.

Impressionist Technique

Color
The Impressionists distanced themselves from the somber tones of earlier paintings. They generally avoided the use of black and earth colors and instead used light, vibrant colors to give their paintings luminosity and to capture the changing effect of sunlight on the scenes they painted. Bright, contrasting colors were put onto the canvas one next to or on top of each other, often without prior mixing or subsequent blending.

Brush Work
In order to convey the movement and changing nature of a passing moment, the Impressionists used quick, broken brushstrokes that were left without any further smoothing. This method allows the viewer to clearly see the traces of the brush and gives impressionist paintings an unfinished appearance. The Impressionists worked quickly, sometimes in one sitting, in order to capture the fleeting moment and to give their work a spontaneous feel.

Locale
Impressionist painters often worked outdoors, not in a studio, to be in close touch with nature and to be able to directly observe the effects of changing sunlight, weather and movement.

They thought that they were crazy, they start being discriminated by the rest of the people, but however, they still painting, they start creating, doing what they want no matter the people, I guess is somethig that we shall undesrstand, why does all this people start getting popularity... they began to introduce the rest of the people to their worlds, by their paintings, by their exposition, so they could be accepted or at least respected by the rest of the people, and that's how the Impressionism began to being a brand of the art, because it was new and reflected the people's life at that time.

There's a large list of people who implement the Impresionism... But some of them are more important... such as Pissarro, Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir, Sisley, Bazille, Morisot, Dahlí, mostly French people, home of the new order of painters.

Here's a painting of the artist Eugène Delacroix (French Romantic Painter) titled “Liberty Leading The People”.

This paint is specificly creative because several things... The way that Eugene create the illusion of freedom, the fight of being free... the price of freedom always was blood and dead, but the main thing to express, without being to graphic is this woman, that represents the main power, the one who is searching about better things and other stuffs... the colors of the dead people, that represent the price of it's freedom. In those times... one thing that I consider really interesting is that... they do not care about the thin woman... by some reason the chuby ones are more pretty or more deseables to the mans in those times, maybe by the fact that the fat represents the economic chance to by food and get the enough resources...

But the way that this painter represents what in those times was so important, and get an impact to the people who wen to watch those kind of paintings. The main importance of this paintings is to express something that the people don used to say in public because of the affraid of being arrested or shooted. So the first way of expression was the paintings, and the arts in it's mayority....

Anyway... the Creativity is the main thing that makes us being different from the other ones...

A tree of wisdom

The tree of decisions: This "tree" is used in order to describe a problem, we had the idea of the main consecuences and we put them together in order to stablish the best way of solutions. We could define some Aspects as unknown resouls, meanwhile others are known resoults, or more viable resoults, here the point of doing this is to explain in how branches does a variable could have. Such trees are particularly helpful in situations of complex multistage decision problems. For example, when you need to plan and organize a sequence of decisions and take into account how the choices made at earlier stages and the outcomes of possible external events determine the types of decisions and events at later stages of that sequence.In the Image, we could apreciate better how the Tree of decisions could be... there explains in how many outcomes could be, according to the problem in the first place, and all the variables found in the situation.

Benjamin Franklin's Tea (t)

Benjamin's T is the method most commonly called advantages and disadvtages, or pros and cons of the problem. He used to use it at the time to take a desition, he put the things in a big T, locating the aspects to evaluate, then behind them, he grade the posibilities of each variable, like the aspect is "price" and the variables are "Clandestine Industries" and "Glamour Kills" (two clothes brands) and we evaluate the prices of the clothers... For example, we put a 9 in CLandestine, is expensive but the clothes are made specially for certain people, meanwhile we put an 7 to Glamour, their stiles are more youth but the quality is not enough or comparable with the Clandestine's one. So, after we try to extablish the main aspects of both brands, at the end we calculate the final resoults, and by those resoults we conclude:

Example no. 1: THe brand Clandestine Industries is expensive, but their styles are designed to certain people that can affor them, also we can conclude that it clothes are better because of the quality of its clothes and they're soft and more clean and durable

All of this process is based in calculate the resoults that we grade the aspects, by this is more easy to get a conclusion or to take a desition about a problem. One of the advantages of using this method is that we can affor a viable rason of why we choose that resoult, how we can based the resoults is a important point because it would get us the answer of the main problem, other disadvantage is that ir really dependent, many people could grade in different ways each aspect, all basing in their persnal experience, also the main thing that shows here is that most of the poeple would get a different resoult, so it can cause more problems that it was previewed.

Example no. 2: Is more easy to get the Glamour Kills clothes, because it's lcated in almost all the States of the U.S. so, werever you go, they're easelly to get, also to buy, but you need to have a credit card, in order to buy the clothes that you want.

How Diversity affect the life ...

As a matter of that we're not equal thinking or have the same thoughts, there's a pleny panorama of thinking, we create things as the ways that the situations requires it, also to explain the stuffs arownd us, we share the world that we live, but not have the same way of thinking, the main point of this is that because of our personal experiences, we had not the same creativity with all the people, must of them are thinking in more scientific ways, others based all in faith, or even to get the main idea, they do really get other ways of getting creative thoughts. THe already creative activities help the individual to its main creativity instinct, by the analysis, it study the problem, the cause, a posible solution and how to make it real, then it follows the process until suceed or fail.

As follows, the main problem of the creativity is that not always is viable to realize, it became confusing, and without a shape to explain estrictly what it really means.

As a matter of diversity, there's a whole panorama of how the creativity affects in our life.

Create- Evening

Creative Thinking: is the way that we call a thinkig or thougt that shows the mental hability to create new and innovate things. The main idea of how does this help the actual world, is just about being original, to create, to innovate, to resolve, to get the exact or most proximelly solution to a problem, even to become a problem into an advantage.

Creativity: Is also hard to explain creativity, because it can be expresed in several ways that we can't take just one, but as I know is that creativity is the hability to change the tings arownd you, make them different so the way that they used to be, is a human hability that allow it to create, innovate or improove the things that are already done, or just to create from nowhere the most incredible things in the life...

What matters is that this kid of ways of expresion are found in several ways, the main ones are by artistic branches, such as paintings, music and literature, but they can be found in other ways, the deal with the creativity is to know what you want, to release your imagination, to take normal and ordinary stuffs to create other ones tottaly different to the first ones.

Follow me, the rules are stablished.

Problem Three:

We shall follow the rules of all the foreing places that we visit, one of the most important things to take in account is that their rules are gonna be, some of them, different from the ones from the place that we came from, like in the European countries, had like a strict sense of order, to follow the rules as are there. The way that we shall follow them is :

1º Obviously to know the rules, we cannot follow a rule if we don't know about its existance... by this we should first investigate about them.

2º Understand which could be the consecuences of not obbey the rules, the main thing is to understand their meaning

3º Aks for the precise intrsuctions of how to follow better those rules, even to understand why does they apply those safety ways.

4º Tking in consideration that the ways to get a confortable stay in those places, is the key to being safe.

The main thing needed to get the best time is to RESPECT their rules, not to break the law, being concients about that those people could do the same in our countries, so as Benito Juarez said "El respeto al derecho ajeno, es la paz"

Trip m' aider

Problem two:

The places that I would love to visit is United Kingdom, because of its clean places, the way that they used to live, How they do the things, and also the way that they do the daily things, like how they do take care of the planet, how do they became more clean, they care about the streets, the schools are like here, but instead of having the normal schedule as we had, they change it according to their needs or how they want the kids to study.

Other thing that I'm cosidering with those places is their weather, normally they don't had Sun most of the times, otherwise, is that because of that conditions, they've creating modern ways to became even more easelly conditions in the science, not to mention that one of the better places to study music, the concervatoriums are one of the most famous ones in the world.

The main thing here is that we had an advatage... that is the idiom, us as Students of a bicultural program, we had better oportunities to go to those places because we are assured that we can understand the indications and the rules there

Whatever it takes...

Problem One:

• In this situation the main problem takes place in Denmark, which ever the problem a great bareer is the idiom. here, with my friends ill, how could I explain the doctor that my friends need medicament or treatment, however, by the experience that we shall have tripping with the other European countries, We should start writting to the country or our families to send us money, to all the people in our countries and at home... if the conditions are favorable, we can stay a little bit longer, by the time that we can earn money, we shall send a letter to the Universities in which we were about to study, or we can satay a little bit longer, to find the way to get back home, also to notice the embassy, they could give us a permission to trip again back to Aguascalientes.

Otherwise, if they allow you to earn some money by working in those places it would be better, but we may need a special permission :D
