Second steps

Agnus Dei from Guillaume de Machaut

It make me feel peaceful, it’s a got music to relax in your bath with candles. It’s none aggressive and really smooth like when some people put mediation songs and concentrate on themselves.

I like this music better than the one presented in class, I suggest any teacher play Agnus Dei from Guillaume de Machaut in class, at least I hope they don’t expect the students is gonna stay awake 😛

 

The kiss of Judas – Giotto

This painting is probably the first illustration of a homosexuality in the catholic’s church history; perhaps the Italians godfathers have been inspired of this, when the begun to give the Death kiss.

This painting is like the painting why seen in class, it a bit dark, it’s like if the Jesus and Judas’ kiss is gonna create a civil war in the group.

 

The Wife of Bath’s Tale” from The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer

I love this old story written in English, I didn’t think they were only a small difference between the Old English and the New English, the pronunciation is almost the same.

I never read a real Shakespeare’ piece but I sure, it is closely similar. Furthermore I love stories about kings and fairytales.

Knowledge of Art

Paintings and sculptures

I know many famous sculptures and paintings but I cannot always remember the artist who created it.

Classical music

The classical music is like the paintings and sculptures, I can pretty say that I know this one but composer is unknown to me. I can summary Beethoven’s biography and I know some symphonies of Mozart because my old German teacher use to play some in class before it begins.

English-language literature

I never read any literature in English they were often translated for my French courses. When I hear English literature, the only name that rings me something is of course William Shakespeare the England writer.

The history of the English language

The English language is cousin with the german because they came from the same place. At the beginning who couldn’t speak about English or german, they didn’t exist yet. They were the Anglo-Saxons fierce enemies of the gothic (who are now the French).

New guitar player

Since 3 weeks I have begun to play guitar, for a new comer into this world, I’m a fast learner. I can for now play some parts of pennywise – Bro hymn, Zelda – ocarina of time, system of a down – aerials and I currently practicing linkin park – numb and deep purple – smoke on the water.

Sharing my talent with class

Sorry for the bad news but I’m still not enough a good guitar player to show my talent to the entire class ;P

Suggestions

We could speak about Alchemy Gothic (http://www.alchemygothic.com/). It’s a company who publish all kinds of pictures about creatures and skeletons. It’s a website who worth to be visited…

Learning about the biography of some famous writers like Shakespeare would be great. Also take a quick look at his pieces less known than Romeo and Juliette. Maybe see Disney first artwork.
