recycling and environment

I have a carbon footprint of  2,37 in comparison to the average which is 3,87 in Chile

Hand washing dishes can use up to 50 % more of water than using an efficient dishwasher.

Only about 8 % of global energy comes from renewables.

Appliances that are turned off don’t use any electricity. FALSE

We can make paper with different materials like hemp , sheep skin and panda excrement.

top three tips :
-You can take out the trash at the appropriate time to not miss the garbage truck

-You can use a storage box for any extra recycling you may have

- You can squash plastic bottles to maximize space

Art


Today I will talk about art, I love art, art is important for me because it is another form of expression, it is fun and you can develop manual abilities.

When I was kid I wasn’t interested in art, I liked soccer and Colo Colo .After I discovered the band ´´Queen´´ I began to develop a liking for music.

I actually never liked to visit art museums. Although I don’t like art museums I love art. My best artistic ability is the work with metal.

I have never participated in any art competition. I believe they are not the way to show how good we are.

I have never been jealous of someone else´s artwork but I would like to paint like Picasso and Dalí.

I actually consider myself ignorant in modern art, but I don’t have problems with knowing about new artworks.

I am not enthusiastic about graffiti, but I consider it a new form of art and innovative.

I don’t have a favorite artist but I like the artwork of Pablo Picasso, Vladimir Tatlin and Naum Gabo.
I don´t have a favorite work of art, because it is very difficult to choose since there so many.

Vladimir Tatlin


The person who I admire is Vladimir Tatlin. He was born in  December 28th 1885 in Jarkov. Tatlin is a Russian artist. He worked in the area of painting, sculpture and architecture.

In 1914 Vladimir Tatlin founded the Russian Constructivism. In 1920 Tatlin partnered up with Anton Pevsner, Naum Gabo and Alexander Rodchenko.

When Tatlin travelled to Paris, he met Pablo Picasso and he participated in various artistic movements, such as futurism and construtivism.

Tatlin died in May 31st  1953 in Moscow.

Tatlin also has done artworks and proyects with a massive style, such as ´´Monument to the Third International´´ and ´´Shujov Tower´´.

´´Monument to the Third International´´ was never built, Tatlin only did models , because the Russian civil war produced a lack of materials what prevented the final construction . The tower was going to measure 400 meters in hight, with a spiral shaped structure, overturned sideways, would have three structures in glass with different shapes: a cylinder, a cone, and a cube this forms would rotate at different speeds.

I like Vladimir Tatlin , because he developed a new language to the modern sculpture and he was very creative with his artworks.
