Pablo Picasso

Have you ever see this painting?
Or maybe this one?





How do you feel about those paintings? Maybe those paintings seem to be weird or maybe some of you think that they are ugly. The first one is called as "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" and the second painting is called as "The Three Dancers". Those are cubism paintings. Cubism is an early 20th-century style and movement in art, especially painting and it was made of simple geometric shapes. Pablo Picasso is the pioneer of cubism. 



Pablo Picasso was born in 1881, Spain. On his journey, he became one of the greatest and most influential artist of 20th century.  When he was 13 years old, he was taught by his father. After that he continued his painting lesson at the School of Fine Art in Barcelona. When his family moved to Madrid, he attended the Royal Academy of San Fernando. He was an extraordinary student but unfortunately he never finished his school. He became frustrated about the school subjects. 



 He was trained as a classical painter. But throughout his journey, it changed. In the early 20th, he introduced us to the "Blue Period". All of his work is dominated by blue. He was influenced by the death of his close friend. He felt lonely and depressed. In 1905, the "Rose Period", he fell in love with Fernande Olivier, one of his models. Because of that, the color tone of his painting became warmer. In 1907, he started the cubism era. The cubism shocked the art world because it was unlike other painting genre. In cubist paintings, objects are broken apart and reassembled in an abstracted form. There is a lot of opinion on Picasso's work including "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon". It represented 5 nude prostitutes with sharp geometric features and blotches of grays,  greens, and blues. After that, Pablo kept improvising his style, for example surrealism which was a product from cubism period.

Hi guys! How are you? Good to see you again. I know it's been a few weeks or maybe a month since my last post. Now I'm going to tell you about my recent holiday to Yogyakarta. I went to Yogyakarta with my elder sister by train on December 25th, 2016. We went on Lodaya Malam train. It's our first time for taking a vacation without my parents. Honestly,I prefer to get away with my parents than just with my elder sister because she's so annoying. The ride took about more than 8 hours and she couldn't sit properly for the entire ride. She always complained about how small the seat is. We arrived in Yogyakarta train station at 4 in the morning. After that my uncle and his son picked us up and took us to the hotel so my sister and I could sleep first before hit the road. Our first destination in Yogyakarta was Mangunan Pine Forest. It's located in Dinglo, Yogyakarta https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2WkZx9geguk/V0QenjIOJMI/AAAAAAAABCA/wYowEuTJD3UMn3wq-S

Hi my beloved reader(s)!  Do you have a favorite place? What is your favourite place? Have you ever been to your favorite place?   My favorite place is Raja Ampat. Unfortunately I've never gone to Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat is located in West Papua Province. For me, Raja Ampat is a mini version of Indonesia archipelago. It consists of  four main islands: Batanta, Misool, Salawati, and Waigeo. If you want to go to Raja Ampat, you have to take a boat from Papua of an airplane from Central Maluku Raja Ampat panoramic view  Raja Ampat means four kings. Local people believe that the name of Raja Ampat archipelago comes from local mythology. They say, there was a woman who found seven magical eggs. Four of the seven magical eggs hatched and became four kings. Their names become the name of four main islands. The other three eggs became  a ghost, a stone, and a woman.     Raja Ampat is one of the most attractive places in the world. Many tourist, especially divers,

DEWA ATHENA

Hi guys ! Do you know what  DEWA ATHENA is? Maybe some of you will imagine a Greek goddess after hearing to the word "Athena". You're not totally wrong. I thought the same thing too. Actually Dewa Athena is an annual sport even which is held by school to improve student sportsmanship. It's like a mini version of Olympic for students. This year is the    Dewa Athena and it took place on March 23rd and 24th for eleventh graders. For tenth grader, me and my teammates played on March 25th and we are going to play again on April 1st and April 8th for the final round between eleventh and tenth graders. There are 8 matched sports ( football, basketball, volleyball, dodge ball, relay race, gobak sodor or galah asin, badminton, and tug of war). On March 25th, Dewa Athena was opened at 7 o'clock in the morning. Unfortunately I couldn't see the opening ceremony because I was late. Me and my classmate wore a hot pink jersey with 8 phase of moon as our symbol/logo. T
