These are my comments:
You work is good...Hello, <br /><br />These are my comments: <br /><br />You work is good, but you have to improve your English expression, because there are many mistakes with verb tenses, coordination between subject and verb and word order in sentences. And there are also a lot of spelling mistakes. You have to read your work again before posting it. You have to respect the word order in English: don’t translate literally from Spanish. Respect the correct order: subject+verb+complements.<br /> <br />You should also organize the content of the explanation in a better way, because you mix the Baroque features with the data of the sculpture and its construction. The Baroque features should be at the end. The link with the information in Spanish should be at the end, not in the middle of the explanation. I’ve made the pictures bigger and corrected the style of your post. You could look for a picture in which we can see the statue better. <br /><br />Don't change the style or the font, please. <br /><br />These are mu corrections: <br /><br />- The Equestrian Statue of <b>P</b>hilip IV was made up by the Italian sculptor Pietro Tacca. The king sen<b>t</b> Tacca two sketches to Italy <b>and</b> he worked in this sculpture for 6 years . Two years later the sculpture was sen<b>t</b> to Madrid from the workshop that Tacca <b>had</b> in Florence. In Spain first of all it was situated in gardens of the queen<b>,</b> but later it was moved to many <b>places</b>. The statue was commission<b>ed</b> by <b>Philip</b> IV. <br /><br />- Four genius<b>es</b> of that period <b>intervened</b> to ma<b>ke</b> this sculpture:<br />-<b>the painter</b> Diego Velázquez <br />-<b>the scientist</b> Galileo Galilei <br />-<b>The painter Juan</b> Martínez Montañés<br />-<b> the sculptor</b> Pietro T<b>a</b>cca<br /><br />- Decimals in English are with dot (.) , not with comma _ H<b>eight</b>: 4<b>.</b>00m. Width: 3<b>.</b>5m. Depth: 2<b>.</b>00m.<br /><br />- Now<b>adays</b> it is in the center of...<br /><br />-.. features of <b>B</b>aroque sculpture. <br /><br />- The horse had to be represented support<b>ed</b> only in <b>its</b> back legs. <b>T</b>his was the most difficult thing(...) He ask<b>ed</b> for advice<b>e</b> to Galileo Galilei<b>,who</b> was a genius of that period<b>. </b> Galileo told him that the be<b>st</b> thing that he could do is to let one part of the figure <b>empty</b>. But this advice wasn’t enough.<br /><br />- ...It represents movement <b>,</b>thanks to the cloth f<b>old</b>, thanks to the horse’s legs.<br /><br />- <br />When Tucca sent a sketch of the sculpture<b>to the King</b>, (...) So he ask<b>ed</b> Juan Martínez Montañes to do a model<b>l</b>ing head of the king. He sent the mode<b>l</b>ling head to Italy. The equestrian statue was finished the same year in which Pietro Tucca die<b>d</b>.<br /><br /><br />- The king <b>is</b> wearing a half and in his hand <b>he</b> has a <b>baton</b>.<br /><br />- The bronze was a material very difficult to work <b>with</b>. <br /><br />- the first equestrian statue of history in which the horse is supported only in <b>its</b> back legs. Finally he obtain<b>ed</b> the balance of the figure using the tail of the horse as a support <b>for</b> the figure, it was possible because the distance between the legs and the tail ma<b>kes</b> a perfect triangle.<br /><br />The symbols that this equestrian sculpture <b>has</b> are two marble plaques on the pedestal.<br /><br />- ..and the other <b>one</b> is an allegorical reference to the monarch's role <br /><br />Your mark is 9 for the content, but you have to take all I’ve told you into account for further projects. <br /><br />Bye!<br /><br />Paqui Pérez Fonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09825244803602259869noreply@blogger.com
