William Turner

Since I was a child I liked looking at books with paintings. That´s why I studied history and theory of arts. I like about my career that I can read and write interesting things. It is not an obligation for me. My favorite artist is William turner. He is an English painter associated with romanticism. His work is very interesting. I especially like his use of light, which gives his paintings an unusual touch compared to traditional romanticism. A lot of impressionistic artists studied his work and his way to capture the impressions of nature, He was born in London, April 23 to 1775 and died in Chelsea, London, 19 December 1851, It was considered a controversial figure in his time, but nowadays is seen as the artist who elevated landscape art.

My first mp3

My first mp3 was the best, I could hear many songs in a small device, before the cd and cassette had very little space, The mp3 was something amazing for its aptitude to store songs. You can listen to many albums in a appliance very comfortable, old devices were never so comfortable as one mp3, Internet enabled access to a lot of music that was previously difficult to achieve, the mp3 is one of the things I most remember when I was a adolescent. the price of a mp3 was not very expensive, depended on the capacity of device, My first mp3 I had 500 mb, I could hear 50 songs, in a mp3 of 1 gb  you can listen three times more, the mp3 was the best thing to go to school.
