TEAM WORK!!

Here is the image of the creations we made in the Dots class, there are a lot of figures with meanings tht each one of us gave.
As a team we had to create wether a painting or sculpture during the class, we gave each integrant a task to do in order to have the material we were going to use.
We sat on the floor in a circle and started making our figures while some ideas came into our minds so we could continue developing our creations.
We worked in a peaceful way,each one was concentrated in their job and if somebody needed help, the team was willing to give it.
We liked our works because they were different, they were made with effort, creativity and inspiration :)
We had a good time that also was for relaxing ourselves and be in contact with the nature.

Reality into art.

The artists transform the reality of what they see into art with creativity because they try to find a good way by which they can expressed those images that for them are important to share with the world.There are many ways of expressing ideas that you have in your mind and want to be transmited such as: Painting,sculpture,music,cinema,literature,etc.
Each artist choose the one that he or she thinks is the best to transmit thinkings,ideals,images,situations,etc.,and that the people could perceive in the same or similar way of them.

FRIDA KAHLO

( 1907-1954)

BIOGRAPHY




Born Magdalena Carmen Frida Kahlo Calderón on July 6, 1907, in Coyoacán, Mexico. Considered one of Mexico's greatest artists, she began painting at the age of 18 after she was severely injured in a bus accident in September 1925. Her injuries included a broken spinal column, collarbone, pelvis, and more. Though she recovered from the injuries and eventually regained her ability to walk, she remained in extreme pain for the rest of her life.

While attending the National Preparatory School, Frida Kahlo met the artist Diego Rivera. He encouraged her art and she later married him in 1929. The couple had a tumultuous relationship and both she and Rivera had numerous extramarital affairs.

Her work, fantastical and imaginative and yet deeply personal, consisted of many self-portraits. Kahlo's love of animals, her despair over a miscarriage, and other parts of her life and personality found their way to her canvases. By the end of the 1930s, Kahlo was beginning to be recognized for her own talents, not just as the wife of a famed muralist. She had solo exhibits in Paris and New York City. Despite battling pain and health problems most of her life, Kahlo continued to paint and share her love of art with others until her death. She died on July 13, 1954.

Since her death, Frida Kahlo has become an internationally known artist, and her work has been featured in numerous exhibits. Her life was the subject of a 2002 film entitled Frida, starring Salma Hayek.




"Abrazo Amroso"


I really like Frida Kahlo because I think she is a very good example of a creative mexican, I admire her because of her way of seeing and painting the reality, although she suffered a lot, she was and is nowaddays an important character in the history of our country.
I think her works have a deep meaning and they are very colorful, thing that I liked so much, and also she made a lot of paintings during her life.
I believe that if she had not suffered the bad things that happened to her, she could not represent her life in that real and creative way of painting that know are recognized in all the world and I am proud of her because I think she also had a strong way of living and personality but in the interior she was a very lovely woman.

Being mexican!

I love being mexican because i've realised that we are unique, we have a good sense of humor and we give help to other people.
Living in a country like Mexico is so nice because we can enjoy great landscapes, delicious food and a good way of living.
We are rich in flora and fauna, we have the best seashores and the best people!!!
Also I think we are not as bad as the media shows us because they only tell the horribles things we are living but they don't see and consider the good things we have as a country and that not all the countries are available to have.

The mexicans are creative because we have lived a lot of facts that make us more intelligent and skilled to create things or come up with an idea. Also the awesome landscaope we have, inspired ourselves.

I'm very proud of being a mexican girl :) :)

MUSEUM D'ORSAY

CELESTIAL SPHERE


I chosed this sculpture because I think is really nice and it shows the 4 sides (continents) in the world, so for me that's very creative and it is a well done sculpture made by Carpaux.
It's a good and original form of representing the world :)

BAIN DU MATIN

I chose the " Bain du matin" painted by Degas in 1883.
I liked this painting because for me is very creative, I think it's a good idea that maybe I would never come up with.
It's creative because painting a vat beside a bed is unusual and very original.
I think Degas painted that because he wanted to innovate and maybe he saw a woman doing that in the morning and as an impressionist painter he decided to capture that action.

Impressionism

The impressionism is a movement of painting that consists in transporting the real images into paintings with light and color effects.It started in France during the late 19th century and early 20th century.
The major impressionists are: Claude Monet
Pierre Renoir
Camille Pissarro
Alfred Sisley
Berthe Morisot
Armand Guillaumin
Frédéric Bazille

Characteristics: The landscape as central topic.
Use of a lot of painting
They don't use a lot the black color
They bet for a flat and bidimensional painting.

Decision Tree

Is a tool we can use to arrive to a decision by including the consequences, cost, chances of the event to come out and utility in a kind of graph. It is a very useful model because shows you a lot of important information you will consider when taking a decision. Some advantages are: it's easier to look at the information,simple to interpret and you can combine it with other techniques.


EXAMPLE

Benjamin Franklin Tool

He used a chart that had column of "element" ( is like a varible that influenced to your decision) then a column called importance factor ( there you put a number from 1-10 according to the importance of that variable for you) and finally the columns of the options you are considering ( write a number to each option in each variable according to the influence a variable has in that option), when you have finished, you multiply the number of importance factor by the number placed in the option in the variable; yo make that with all the cells and the last step is to sum the columns of your options: 45
70
60
TOTAL: 155
and the column with the bigger result is the best option.

Thinking styles

Different styles of thinking are diverse ways by which a person can come up with a decision or idea based in some rules.

There are five:

Synthesists: It's a kind of thinking that consists on seeing the things in an opposite way and with that have the ability of creating new things.

Idealists: Consists on having clear some ideals and standards of your personality and starting from there, create what is the best for you.

Pragmatic Thinking: Way of thinking that consists on coming up with an idea in a flexible way and thinking first in the easiest solution instead of thinking in a huge one.

Analyst thinking: is the one that is really careful and takes into consideration a lot of details and accuracy.

Realist thinking: it's a fast way of thinking that use the senses to know what is the reality and with that have a possible idea.

Definiton of creativity

Creativity is characteristic or ability by which you can create new things or have new ideas about solving a problem or making your work, you have to use your imagination and dare to do original and unusual things.

Creativity thinking

Creative thinking is a process that emerge when we get a new idea in our mind. Creative thinking can be accidental, it means that an idea get out when you were thinking in another thing because you made work your brain. Also can be deliberate (when you worked and tought to have a good idea but your principal purpose was find that idea).

Problem Three

PRINCIPLES

* RESPECT = Be kind with the people.
Not to mistreat the places I visit.

* PRUDENCE= Not to spend a lot of money on insignificant things.
Not to be selfish.
Behave in a proper way.

* HONESTY= Tell only the truth about me and my life.

* GOODNESS= Be a good citizen when I'll be there.
Help the people I meet during my stay in Europe

Problem Two

According to the chart I made, the option I would love to visit in Europe is Paris!!!!
I used the Benjamin Franlin method and that was the result and I agree because Paris is a very important city in the world. :D

Problem One

My variables would be: Money. Friendship .Career

I have 2 options: Go to Aguascalientes or Stay in Europe

Pros of staying in Europe * I could continue learning languages
* I would be a very good friend

Contras of staying in Europe: * I will suffer because of the money
* I will be late to start the classes in Mexico
* I won't explore many thing if anyone is sick.

Posibilities: - I can take the problem with my friend like a challenge that also can help me in my life.
-Come back to Aguascalientes and continue with my plans.

Consideration according to me: For me is important my career and start a new period of my life and also are very important the relations with my friends.




My final decision is: Stay with my friend but not for many days, I would ask for help in Denmark so my friend could recover her/him and spend the less money I can so I can live the last days there and come back to my country in the date planned. :)
