3D Art on Streets

Hello classmates,  
In this post we have to share a piece of art. Well, something i like about art is that it has no limits. Isn't a thing that you have to go to a special place to see, it could be anywhere. That's why i´m gonna talk about the street art specially about the 3D paintings. I think the kind of artists who paint like this should be a magnificent imagination. These guys play with the perspective, taking you to the point of trick your mind.

Julian Beever is a british artist who plays with chalk on the streets. The images he paint on floor or walls has a deformation called ''anamorphosis'' that can create an optical ilusion, is used on art to force to the observer to look from a determined point of view. He can transform a simple drawing on floor to a 3D image that sometimes looks so real that seems you could touch it.




All those paintings are temporary, obviously because chalk is not resistant to water or friction, but that is not a problem to Beever, he is always thinking in something new to paint.

Hope you enjoy it!

Yum Yum!

  I´m not a food fan and normally i don't go out to eat so i dont know too many places to eat good food and the ones i know cause of my parents are not the big thing but there a place where food is less important but is tasty anywhere. It's a beer bar called Rústico located in Reniaco # 3001, Maipú (near of  Pajaritos with Central). This place has a lot of varieties and best beers, but to talk about food it is excelent too. This restobar is special to ones like ''country food'', they make big dishes and the price is not too expensive considering the size.

  Their specialty is the ''chorrillanas'' (i never try in this place, but i must say the presentation is very good), you have 3 options to choose the traditional, special with tocino and the sea one with prawn. Another food are ''empanadas'' these ones are made on their own kitchen and at the moment and they have six varieties (with and without meet). And what i like most are the pizzas on stone, there are 16 types with a lot of delicious ingredients. Finally if you want something to snack and share you have tables snack and fried potatoes very delicious to satisfied your stomach.

Learn is Fun

   When i read the BBC's Learning English website, came to my mind a website to read news and when i went to it looked like a online serious news paper, but when i started to surf around i found some funny things i like. It has an easy way to navigate i like a lot how easy and to fast it is to find things of your interest and learn with those.
   So i was navigating on the website when i found the grammar games, i played to the end of the class and i though it was an atractive way to learn so then when i got home i visited the website again looking for more games and i played a little more but after a while it comes a repetitive thing.
   Another thing i like was ''today's phrase'' because is an easy way to understand the english idioms that some times are the same we use and another times have a different way to say the same. In this section shows what is exactly, what the phrase means and how do it use and the best of this is that at the bottom of the page is added an ''interesting fact'' for each phrase. (i'm like a fan of interesting facts).
I think this website is an easy and useful tool, mostly to the begginers.

Chile helps to learn english too.
