Art


In my house there are a lot of arts that are made by my mother. his hobby is painting ceramic things and embroidered with woollen yarn, And she shows her arts in the walls of my house.
The thematic of these arts are mostly jew things, like a David star, Jerusalem, Wailing Wall, etc.
The emblematic embroider in my house is one of those, that my mother made a few years ago (ten years ago), that shows a Rab plays a shofar (a ram's horn blown as a wind instrument, that use in religious ceremonies) and behind are some jews praying at the Wailing Wall.
This art is very detailed because with the different colors of the wool, express the lights and shadows of the Rab and in the rocks of this wailing Wall. The colors that she mostly used are Brown, yellow, White, orange, and black.
My mother embraced the Wailing Wall with vanishing point to create perspective, and to show the space front this Wall.
The motion of this art is the Rab playing the shofar, because he has the biggest proportion, and he occupied the half of this embroidery.

Dawson island

The Dawson island is in the south of Chile, in the Strait of Magellan. This island has been a witness of important facts in the chilean history. One of those stores was regarding the massive slaughter of the aboriginal group Selknam, who were the first human beings in inhabiting this area. Many years later in the period of the military government, from 1973 to 1974, a massive amount of parliamentarians were sent there: senior officials and the ex-ministers, who were sent to this island as political prisoners. It is told that there they were tortured. After these years the island was dismantled without leaving tracks on these facts. Nowadays, the island is a national monument, which is why it does not allow access to citizens. In my opinion, the government should rethink the fact about not allowing people to enter, because in this island happened important acts, such as the extermination of the selknam and the concentration camp of political prisoners. We like citizens have the duty to know our history and to recover the country's memories. The revenue to this island would mean that future generations could go and have conscience of the physical place where human rights were violated so that this does not happen again.
