O Laçador

The laçador statue is a monument of Porto Alegre city. It is the representation of traditional gaucho pilchar (wearing a gaucho’s vestment) made by Antonio Caringi. Antonio Caringi was a Brazilian sculpture born in the city of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul in May 25 in the year of 1905. He began his career at age 23, living Brazil to improve his techniques in Monique, Deutschland. He came back to Brazil in 1940 because of the Second World War. In 1958, he built the laçador in Largo do Bombeiro, and after it was transferred to Sítio do Laçador.
For the most people the Laçador is a cool place to take a photo and relax. Near the airport Salgado Filho, the statue is easy to find and it has a great parking lot. It represents the Gauchos, and some people think it is mysterious and manlike.

Our group make a conclusion, for us the Laçador represent the simbol of Gauchos and its for shows the bravery of our culture. It is a big stone statue and we stayed very impressive with the important of the Laçador

Muchacha en la Ventana- Salvador Dalí

 

  Salvador Dali was a Catalan surrealist painter born on 11 May 1904, known for his eccentricity and extravagance.
  "Muchacha en la Ventana" is a painting from 1925 that depicts his sister, one of her unique designs in Catáques.
   We like this painting because it conveys the calm, tranquility girl, the combination of shades of blue. It is very beautiful!

Our Living Picture

Real Picture

        

 

                    Our living picture is Van Gogh's self portrait with straw hat. He was a famous netherlander painter, he born in Zundert and lived only 37 years. His self-portrait was painted in the european winter of 1887 in Paris. We think that the painting it's very beautiful and difficult because was done with a lot of brushstrokes in various directions. The strength of the portrait is the depth of eyes lost in the misery of his life. Our final impression is that this picture is awesome, allows you to feel what he felt.

The Thinker - José, Renan and Felipe Alves - Turma 8C

The Thinker

The work of sculptor Auguste Rodin, originally called The Poet, is now called The Thinker, this work portrayed Dante across the Gates of Hell, enjoying his poem, it had two versions, dating, 1880 and 1902, however the sculpture from 1902 has a larger scale.
Observation: Renan was the cutest.

At Eternity´s Gate - Leonardo Gandolfi, Rafael e Sofia 8ªE

At Eternity´s Gate - Vincent Van Gogh

The theme of the painting is depression, portrayed by Van Gogh in the form of a man with his hands on his face, showing sadness and indecision. The truth is that the man is Van Gogh himself at the end of his days. The art work was concluded a few days before he commited suicide.The setting of the painting is a very simple house mostly made of wood. We think this painting shows a very serious matter, because depression is a subject that is present on many people's lifes. It is a very beautiful art work and we suppose it was  hard to make it
