JOAN MIRÓ

Joan Miró was one the most relevant artists of the 20Th century. He was born in Barcelona in 1893, at the end of the 19th century and  lived a long life until (1983). During this time he created a world unique in the world of art and left a work of  immense value. 

He was born rn in Barcelonawhere he started painting very early and in the beginning of the 20th century he entered the school of fine arts. In 1918 he set up his first exhibition. His first works reflect influences from cubism also folkloric catalan art.

His trip to Paris introduced him to surrealist art. In 1921 he showed his first individual exhibition in Paris.Many more came after this first one.

He also experimented with many other artistic forms, such as engraving, lithography, water colors and others. He became one of the most respected and well known artists of the 2oth centruy and he painted several murals for the UNESCO building in Paris. His sculptures are  also well known , some of them can be seen in Barcelona and in  museums all over the world.

His works can be seen in the Reina Sofia museum in Madrid, the Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona or in the MOMA in New york.

THE BLACKBIRD SONG IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND THE RAIN IN THE MORNING

 the universe of Joan Miró can be admired in this painting. Stars, moons, constellations but also faces, with eyes which can see all this world.

The colours that can be seen in this paintings are blue, red, black and white. All of them over a grey background. It is curious that the "miró colours" yellow and red are not so characteristic in this work of art. Probably because it is the night and the rain, notas  colurful and bright as we can associate with yellow.

I like this painting because of its simplicity but also its depth. In my opinion,this is one of the features of Miró's work . It could be the drawings of a child, but it tells us so much about everything: nature, life, movement and poetry. I also like the title. In fact I like a lot some of the titles of the work of Miró.  Here we can spend a good while looking for the bird and the rain... some of the critics will explain to us where everything is and why ... but that's not the most important detail n a work of art, for me the relevant is to enjoy and admire it and to feel that I would have liked it to  paint it myself. 

SHAKESPEARE

 Los Soprano? Shakespeare. ¿El padrino? Shakespeare. ¿El Señor de los Anillos? Shakespeare. ¿Una ascenso al poder? Shakespeare. ¿Una familia corrompida en sus sentimientos? Shakespeare. Todo es Shakespeare, todo está en Shakespeare. No ha habido un guionista más promiscuo ni inspirador en el cine que William Shakespeare, a pesar de que muriera cuatro siglos antes del nacimiento del invento. También no ha habido guionista más copiado, mal citado, malinterpretado. Cada generación tiene su ‘Hamlet’, su “mi reino por un caballo”, sus Capuleto y sus Montesco, su “algo huele a podrido en...

ANA JOHNSON


Ana Johnson is a 13-year-old swimmer who lives in Melbourne in
Australia. Her dream is to swim for Australia in the next Olympics.
She swims in both long and short races and she has already come first in many important
competitions.
As well as spending many hours in the pool, Ana also makes time for studying and for friends.
‘I have lots of friends who swim and we’re very close. It’s much easier to have friends who are
swimmers because they also have to get up early to practise like me and they understand this
kind of life. But I’m not so different from other people my age. In my free time I also enjoy
going to the movies and parties. There are also some good things about swimming for a club. I
travel a lot for competitions and I’ve made friends with swimmers from other Australian cities
and from other parts of the world.’
Ana is becoming well known in Australia and she believes it is important to get more young
people interested in swimming. ‘I don’t mind talking to journalists and having my photograph
taken. But last year I was on TV and that was much more fun.’

Look at the sentences below about a girl called Anna and her new school building.
Read the text on the next page to decide if each sentence is correct or incorrect.
If it is correct, mark A on your answer sheet.
If it is not correct, mark B on your answer sheet.


11 Anna’s school is the first one in her country to be made completely of wood.
12 Anna had mixed feelings about seeing the space cleared ready for building the school.
13 Builders managed to carry on with work on the school despite the weather.
14 There is one room that is kept just for local people to use for meetings.
15 The children find the new changing rooms convenient when they do sports on their field.
16 The inside of Anna’s school depends on the people and machines in it to be warm.
17 The new school building has great benefits for people who like to sing.
18 The builders wanted to do something traditional for the school when they’d finished the roof.
19 Pictures of the wind turbine behind the school can now be seen online.
20 The pupils are busy preparing to do a performance for their parents in their new school building.



ANNA'S NEW SCHOOL


It’s been a very exciting week, as we’ve just moved into our
new school building! It’s an amazing place, as the builders
have used wood for the whole thing, just like in our old
school, but it’s also one of the first in my country designed to
be really environmentally friendly.
The school took months to build, so we saw it all happening.
It was really exciting seeing the builders clear the space
where it would be, although it also meant that some lovely
open land disappeared. And the noise of the building
machines was really loud, although the builders often had to
stop work because it rained so hard. We all began to think the
building would never be finished.
We have five classrooms now, which are enormous – much
bigger than in our previous school next door, which was very
old. We share one room with people in the town when they
want to have meetings and so on. There’s a nursery too, a
lovely dining room, and really big changing rooms which
we’re looking forward to using as soon as our new sports field
is ready.
When you come into the school, one of the first things you
notice is that there aren’t any heaters in the building! Instead,
the heat for the school comes from all of us inside it – the
children, the teachers and the computers we use. The building
is so well designed that it holds all the heat inside – and all
the sound too, so if we sing inside our classrooms, we can almost believe we’re inside a concert hall!
Another thing you’ll notice is that the school roof has a tree on top of it! It was put there by the builders once
they’d finished the roof, because they said it was the custom in Austria, the country where the roof was made.
The electricity for lights and computers comes from a wind turbine on a hill behind the school. We went with
our teacher to look at it yesterday, and it goes round really fast. It’s so big, it can be seen for miles! We took
some pictures which we’re planning to put on the website.
Even though we’re already using the school building, there are still some parts to be added to it – for example,
at the moment we’re putting on a play for parents to come and see, but we still have to walk back to our old
school hall to do it. The replacement will be ready by next year, though. We’re so pleased with our new school,and our teachers say we’ll all learn much faster now we’re in it!
