Hi everybody! This is my presentation about Neo and Post-Impressionism. Neo-Impressionism was an artistic movement which included great artists such as Seurat and Paul Signac. I have explained A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of la Grande Jatte, by Georges Seurat, but I also really like a Paul Signac's painting called Grand Canal in Venice (that's why I have included it on the cover).
Post-Impressionism was a different style, which gave more importance to feelings and the use of pure and bright colours to express emotions. The main artists of this period were Paul Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec, Paul Cézanne and Van Gogh. I have explained a Van Gogh's painting called The Sower, but I have also liked a lot other of his paintings such as The Starry Night or The red vineyard.I hope you like the project! See you!

MONDAY 7TH OF MAY 2012
MONDAY 7TH OF MAY 2012
Today we have started a little bit late the class because Paqui has had to tell as many time to be quiet and seat.
Then we have started watching the part of the powerpoint about the Civil War in Russia. It confronted two factions:
-The White Army; formed by the Tsarist army, nobles and rich peasants.
-The Red Army, formed by the Bolsheviks supporters and organized by Trotsky
Leon Trotsky
In order to support the Red Army the Bolsheviks ordered the total requisition of food. All the production was destined to war; WAR COMMUNISM.
In order to survive the peasants were obliged to hide part of their production, because the commissars got all their production. But if they resisted or if the commissar discovered it, they were killed. During this war the Royal Family was also executed. Ordered by Lenin and planned by the Soviets the Tsar Nicholas II, his family and some of their most loyal servants were executed at the Ipatiev House in Ekaterimburg. It led to the legend about Anastasia which said that she could have escaped first to France and then to the USA. But it wasn't true.
The Tsar Nicholas II and his family
The Bolsheviks won the Civil war which caused 5 million dead people due to starvation and poverty and development of Black Market and a constant shortage of supplies in official markets.
After getting rid of the opposition parties the Bolsheviks created the USSR or Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, a federal state formed by the 11 republics and with his capital city in Moscow.
Flag of the USSR
It was a totalitarian state in which there was one only party, the CPSU, which concentrated all the power and occupied all the institutions, there wasn't a division of powers and there was a strong repression against those who opposed the Communist Party.
After some minutes some of our classmates started speaking about some pills Laura M. had to take due a problem she has, like a cyst in an ovary, but little by little the conversation has turned its topic into contraceptives...
Today we have learnt new words as:
-Commissar: Comisario
-Shortage of Supply: Escasez de abastecimiento
-Kulak: A rich peasant
-Sickle: Hoz
Iron and steel architecture and realism by Diego
In mi opinion this is a very interesting project because we have learned a new way to upload presentations on the Internet. The painter that I liked the most, has been Jean Françoise Millet because he is a painter that represents ordinary life of peasants and not the life of the rich people. But the most difficult thing for me has been to found information about iron and steel architecture and also some sculptures of realism.
But this has been a good experience because we have mixed the technology, using power point, and we have learned different styles of art in the 19th century.

BAROQUE, ROCOCO AND NEW CLASSICISM BY CARMEN
Hello classmates, may power point is about Baroque Rococo and New Classicism. I liked this project because you learnt a lot about the different types of art in the 18th century. For my look for information was the most difficult, because there were a lot of information and you had to reduce.
I hope that you liked my presentation and these styles.
Bye, bye...
My project!
Hello Today in Social Sciences' addicts! This is my presentation about Art Nouveau and Antoni Gaudí. It was interesting discover new things about the styles of art in Europe. The most difficult thing for me was the way of distribute the information. I hope you liked it and that it could be useful for you!

Art Nouveau - Juan Carlos Huertas
Hi everybody, here is my powerpoint presentation about Art Nouveau (or Modernism). I liked doing this project so much because (believe it or not) I like this type of work. The most part I enjoy of doing this project was the part of Antoni Gaudí, he was a great man and a great artists. His work is incredible and it's a shame that the Holy Family is not finish today. Enjoy it! Bye!
Francisco de Goya, by Yolanda Rubio
Well, I have liked this project, because in this type of projects, althoug they are difficult and long and you spend a lot of time on them, after you have done it you feel really good and you know a lot of things about the project. I have liked that we have done it on a power point presentation that we have never done one in Social Science, so these are new ways of learning, because you work a lot with the information until the project is finished. The most difficult thing for me is find all the information, because if you look for it you find a lot and you have to summarize. Goya has a lot of good and amazing paintings, but the one I like most is the "maja desnuda". But for me Goya is one of the best painters, and his change of mind is very interesting, how he changed his paintings.

The Russian revolutions of 1917 with PhotoPeach
This is a small visual summary of the Russian Revolutions in 1917. It´s made with a tool called PhotoPeach, which allows creating videos with pictures and combining them with text. We are going to use this tool very soon for the next project. The videos can be accompanied with music, like in this case. The music I´ve chosen is The Internationale in Russian, which became the Russian national anthem after the October Revolution. Some years later The Internationale was declared the national anthem of the USSR until 1944.
PhotoPeach is a very easy-to-use tool to summarize a short period of history. You can upload up to 30 pictures and write a text that fits with the images. I think it´s a very useful tool to study, by preparing visual pieces. If you want to try, don´t wait and sign in now!

Historicism and Romanticism, by Mari Luz
View more PowerPoint from Mariluz29
This is my power point presentation about "Historicism and Romanticism". I have chosen the Houses of the Parliament in London from historicism, because I would like to go inside to see how it is. I think there are a lot of interesting things there. And from romanticism I have chosen the painting of Eugène Delacroix, the Liberty Leading the People, because it represents the release of the French people.
This project I thinks it was a good idea to remember the most important things of each style, in my opinion I would like to do more projects like that.

Iron and steel anchitecture and Realism, by Beatriz Antequera
My presentation is about Iron and Steel Architecture and Realism (sculpture and painting). I've learnt a lot with this project and the thing I've liked most has been the part of architecture because it's good to learn data of some famous constructions. My favourite Realism painter is Gustave Courbet and my favourite painting, The Bridge at Mantes.
