The History of the square in Aurillac

Cette place est le point de rencontre pour toutes les personnes qui arrivent au centre-ville d'Aurillac. Comparée à un cœur, elle donne le rythme à cette ville. Tout y naît, tout y disparaît grâce aux événements festifs de ce centre historique et commerçant. Au XIXe siècle, Jean-Charles-Adolphe Alphand,un ingénieur, a dessiné ce parc. Récemment, la place du Square a été réaménagée avec la suppression du stationnement en surface pour donner ensuite un bel espace piétonnier et un parking souterrain. Mais le parc classé, qui possède le buste d'un poète aurillacois :Arsène Vermenouze, n'a pas été modifié. A l'origine de la cité, cette espace, sauf les murs, était le Pré de la Bombe.

This place is the meeting point for people who arrive in the town centre of Aurillac. Compared with a heart, it gives a rhythm at this town. Everything is born, everything disappears thanks to festive events of this historic and shopping centre. In the nineteenth century, Jean Charles-Adolphe Alphand, an engineer, drew this park . Recently, the place of the Square was rearranged with the suppression of parking in surface to give, then, a beautiful pedestrian area and an underground parking. But the listed park, which have the bust of an Aurillacois poet: Arsène Vermenouze, wasn't changed. At the origin of the city, this area, without walls, was the meadow of the Bomb.

We hope that the visitors will understand our personnality: we are calm and we like nature, freedom and animals.

This song represent our work very well because our work speaks a lot about nature: we wanted you to understand that nature is a very good present and it's not necessary to modify it; we must protect and preserve it.

Beauty interf-hole everybody at present .only problems between 1920 and 2010 the models are more and more thin .Cindy Crawfords critiqued fashion by saying that she would never have been able to become one stars with his physical appearance which corresponded to the 1980 years but now she is not any more considered to be a model.

1-Words/ideas/feelings that come to mind ...

strange ;funny and little preocupied

2- this photos is part of series called "familly portraits "...

what kind of is it ?! "it's a photographic portrait, but it's also...."?

maybe it's a photographic portrait and a tableau too becaus in my opinion didn't seem real

3-what does it show "describe the various elements , the situation, the atmosphere, ETC...."?

the scene takes place in the living room or in the kitchen.Everything are in the grey but the cats are in green.

4-what are the theme?" ugliness"

it's very strange.The different color between the cats and the other.

5- what is the message " if any"?

In my opinion the message of sandy skoglund is to stop pollution .

6-what, based on this example ,is the purpose of"this work of" art?

A world of opposites

how bbc arerself in images ;this image reflected a rell foces societies valietiess
game take photos around you and pub pictures event
theme of constrats:
UGLY: BEAUTIFUL
WEAK:STRONG
DUMB:SMART/BRIGHT/CLEVER/INTELLIGENT
NASTY:NICE
ILL:HEALTHY
BAD:GOOD
QUIET:LOUD
etc.......
we often things in terms of opposites likes "ugly" versus "beautiful"
beauty is perhaps in the eyebeholder, but advertiers renforce our simplistics-binary vision of the world , two conditions our way of seing things ; we hands up thinking on steoriotipes .
Shouyld we not nuance our vision of thinks? are people just " ugly" or " beautiful" ? our way of seeing others can be destructive of others....... when looking at the portait or someone's self portait go beyond juging a person by their apparence ,who they are in more important than what they looks like .Ask yourself :what can i learn from a person's appearence ;how is his :her life ,his :her felings"written" on his/her face?

Lyrics of "Je suis comme je suis" Jacques Prevert

" je suis comme je suis " Jacques Prevert


I am what I am

I am what I am

I am made like that

When I want to laugh

Yes I laugh out loud

I love him who loves meIs it my fault

If this is not the sameI love every time

I am what I am

I am made like that

What do you want more

What do you want meI am made to please

And then there is no change

My heels are too high

My size too curved

My breasts too hard

And my eyes too identified

And then after

What difference does it make you

I am what I am

I like to which I please

What difference does it make you

What happened to meYes I loved someone

Yes somebody loved me

Because children who love

Just know how to love

Love love ...

Why question me

I'm here to please you

And then there is no change.

My self-portrait

This image shows that I love animals and it shows that I love sport with my tee-shirt. I love animals because in my opinion if you love your animal, he loves you as well as you do. According to me, animals are great for children. They give you self-confidance.When I am with my dogs, I am relaxed and happy.

The 4th Plinth of Trafalgar Square:

What is the Fourth Plinth?

The Fourth Plinth is in the north-west of Trafalgar Square, in central London. Built in 1841, it was originally intended for an equestrian statue but was empty for many years. It is now the location for specially commissioned artworks. In my opinion ,it's a very useful thing but to my mind it's a pity that it was empty for many years. If i was at their place, I would put a very precious statues to decorate the town and for tourists.

Artists write about painting portraits….

The distance from the chin to the nostrils makes up a third of the face. It is the same from the nostrils to the eyebrows, and again from the eyebrows to the hairline. From one ear to the other, the distance is the same as from the eyebrows to the chin. The width of the mouth is the same as that from the middle of the lips to the chin.
Leonardo da Vinci

To displace. Put the eyes where the legs are, the genitals where the face is. To contradict. To do an eye face on and one sideways. Nature does many things like me, but she hides them.
Pablo Picasso

The way the nose is rooted in the face, the way the ear is screwed into the skull, the way the lower jaw is hung, the intensity of the gaze…
Henri Matisse

By the way, I am not a prince, but someone who makes his living from his handicraft.
Peter Paul Rubens

I have finished the portrait of me that you wanted… You will not be disappointed; I have kept my promise, since I have chosen the best and most lifelike for you: you will see the difference for yourself.
Nicolas Poussin

In a head, the first thing for an artist to do is to make the eyes speak…then you move on to how the nose sticks out. The sloping nostril is a good means of expression: it indicates a peaceful character.
Dominique Ingres

I am getting really old, I am covered in wrinkles, and you would not even recognize me apart from my puggish nose and my sunken eyes… What is certain is that I look my age: forty-one…
Francisco Goya
The flesh only has its true colour in the open air, especially in the sunlight. The local complexion must be transparent; though if halftoned it gives the illusion, in principle, of the blood under the skin.
Eugène Delacroix

I have bought for the purpose a fairly good mirror in order to work using myself as a model, as I do not have a real model, because if I manage to paint the colouring of my own head, which is a bit of a challenge, I could then just as easily paint the faces of other good men and women.
Vincent van Gogh

biography vincent van gogh :

Vincent Willem van Gogh was born from 30 March 1853and died the 29 July 1890 was a Dutch painter. Little appreciated during his lifetime, his fame grew in the years after his death. Today, he is widely regarded as one of history's greatest painters and an important contributor to the foundations of modern art.

During this time he began to sketch people from the local community, and in 1885 painted his first major work the potato eaters.. In March 1886, he moved to Paris and discovered the French impressionist.
