A subject I've enjoyed studying this semester

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog.

Today I'll write about a subject I've enjoyed studying this semester.

One of the subjects that I've most enjoyed in this first semester has been Aesthetics and Artistic Modernity. Generally, what we did in class was analyzed texts and artworks to understand modern poetic and aesthetic debates of the period. For that, we analyzed with the teacher, authors like Edgar Allan Poe, Paul Valéry, Guy de Maupassant, and one of the most important, Charles Baudelaire with his text The Painter of Modern Life; and also artworks like The Balcony, Luncheon on the Grass by Manet, and The Orchestra at the Opera by Degas. In summary, the main contents that we have seen are modernity, literature, and artworks of modernity.

And about why I liked this subject I can say that I liked it because, quite simply, I think it is a fascinating topic. This subject helped me to understand the art production after modernity; for example, the artistic production of Paul Cézzane, Gauguin, Van Gogh, or Matisse. Apart from that, I liked it because the teacher explains very well and clear, I could understand and relate the contents with my previous knowledge.

Luncheon on the Grass, 1863, Édouard Manet.

How safe is to give your personal information on websites?

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. Today I`m going to write about websites and social networks. About this, I think that social networks and websites are not a safe place to give out our personal information, because, the information is available to all users, and someone can use our information to defraud us or defraud another person. On top of that, if we put our address or intimate information on our social networks we run the risk that someone damages our physical integrity. In my case, I`m careful to keep my privacy on the internet; I use two social networks and I don`t talk with strangers; and for safety, I don´t put my address, my phone number or another type of information, like my date of birth, on my social networks. That is my limit. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this blog :) Francisca Contreras M.
