Smartphones- A great invention?

Smartphones appeared in our lives not so long time ago and they play an important role in our world. New electronic gadgets are part of us nowadays but some people are against them because they consider intelligent mobile phones are destroying our society, There are some advantages and drawbacks about that.
One of the main advantages is they make our lives easier. Smartphones help us with our timetables, our social life or our entertaiment. In fact, they have other uses such as keeping in touch with family and friends or taking photographs.
They also have some cons that make us doubt about their advantages. A smartphone is like a little computer holding in our hands and, as a computer, it has a camera. Thus, we can be spied by hackers that can control what we do. We lose our privacy sharing everything we do.
Above all, smartphones are excellent for us for many reasons but they could damage ourselves. We can use them every time we want, but we have to know how to use them properly,

Essay- Most interesting artists in art

Art is known for all of us to being characterised by lots of paintings, sculptures or buildings. It is full of beautiful creations from all ages. Art represents everything in our lives. In addition, it reflects the different ways of life humanity has had throughout the history. In spite of all these excellent facts, there are people that do not like art due to it is boring. It depends on our point of view but some of us can be shocked if we see a masterpiece. Moreover, there is an illness called Stendhal syndrome caused because of having seeing much beauty. Above all, art can be interesting, specially in periods such as Renaissance, Baroque or Post-impressionism with its related artists like Michelangelo, Bernini and Van Gogh.

In my opinion,Michelangelo Buonarotti is one of the most important artists in the world due to being the sculptor of David and painter of many paintings such as the Sistine Chapel ceiling. It is incredible how he could sculpt David only with his hands and a chisel. Nowadays, we cannot find an explanation to facts like that. In addition, he was an immature genius. He sculpted Piety when he was twenty-three years old. A young person as me could not do something like that because of I do not know how to give shape to a marble block. He was and  he will be the best sculptor of all ages.

Many people may not know but  Gian Lorenzo Bernini inherited the sculptural strengh of Michelangelo.He reproduced drama and magnificence in his first works such as "The Kidnap of Persophone", which symbolise the myth called in the same way.He represented in his first works part of the Greek mythology like "Apolo and Dafne". Everybody wanted Bernini to turn blocks of marble into sculptures. Moreover, he worked for popes and private patrons. Bernini was ordered to design the Fountain of the Four Rivers in Piazza Navona in Rome. Futhermore, this is one of the most famous fountains in Rome for many things such as its appearance in "Angels and Demons", a film about Dan Brown's novel. 

Despite being schizophrenic, Vincent Van Gogh is one of the most interesting artists of the world. His works are appreciated by everybody because of they are different of all art; no one has painted as well as he did. One of his best paintings is "The starry night". Futhermore, he said a quotation which can be related to this work: " I don't know anything with certainty, but the sight of the stars made me dreaming." His painting technique, brush-stroke by brush-stroke is pretty strange and extravagant due to he used little stripes,spots and bright colours in works such as "Sunflowers".

Art is not tame. It has a wonderful world to discover characterised by wonderful masterpieces such as  the David by Michelangelo. Art has been changing continously as we can admire in different movements. In fact, Van Gogh was one of the most interesting artists of all times with his way of painting, brush-stroke by brush-stroke. Apart from contemporary periods, in Baroque, Bernini made sculptures more realistic due to he want to show the true mankind. Art does not have to be prejudged, has to be felt and respected.

Effects of music on our lives

Music forms part of our lives every day and many people say they couldn't live without it. Music has many effects on us such as joy or sadness like the emotions in Disney's film "Inside Out".

It can inspire us joy when we want to have fun or we want just to listen to motivating music. Happiness is a special feeling which can be represented in many ways but, in my opinion, the best is music. Some people believe in music instead of God and, also, they turn up the radio instead of praying. In addition, it is said that classical music produces emotional feelings on babies. For example, when a baby listen to Mozart he can be smiling due to he likes that kind of music.

In spite of all these positive effects, there are other not as good as these.  It can also inspire us sadness or nostalgia. Some singer-songwriters write their songs inspired by facts that have happened to them although it can cause pain. Songs can represent our feelings and we can burst into tears listening to them. Many people, when they are sad, they listen to gloomy music to feel sadder. That can cause serious problems to their minds. If we are sad, we must listen to happy music to elevate our mood not to beat it.

Almost all kind of music help us in our life but we have to know what sort of music listening in the exact moment. We can't be sad when are supposed to be happy. Music is everything to us.

Beauty standards

Beauty has always been controversial especially in the last years. Anyone know exactly what beauty is. For many people can be beautiful a round body but for others can be smart a slim one. Beauty is not defined yet.

Beauty standards were characterized by large hips, big breasts and tight waist. Women were considered goddesses with their round bodies and painted by the most famous painters of that age such as Rubens. 

In spite of our aesthetic history, beauty does not exist nowadays because of the world of fashion. Fashion has destroyed the classical concept of beauty replacing it by skinny bodies without curves. In addition, the image of skinny models has developed some illnesses such as anorexia. Young girls want to be like that models and they think they don't have to eat to being pretty. 

Other problem with beauty is breast and bottom surgery. Women and men consider "beautiful" having big breasts and a huge bottom. I disagree due to it is unnatural. Everyone can be pretty or handsome with its own body, it isn't necessary to change it. Also advertising and famous people such as Nicki Minaj has influenced on this.

It does not matter the body you have because the simpler you are, the better you will look like.

Technological addiction

Nowadays, technology forms part of our lives but it's more and more difficult to get rid of it. Many people, especially the youngest ones, can't live without the Internet and their mobile phones. In addition, it has appear a new illness called nomophobia,  which is the fear of being out without your mobile phone. The internet helps us with many items such as work, cooking or amusement but some people don't know how to live without it. From my point of view, technology makes our lives easier although it can make us antisocial. We can illustrate this by acts of children or teenagers due to they prefer staying at home instead of doing sport or going out for a walk. Modern items, such as these, have made our life better but one day they could destroy it.
