Painting Description - Frida Kahlo

   In this post we’ll talk about one of Frida Kahlo’s paintings. The picture is called Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird.
   This picture was made in 1940 by Frida Kahlo. It is a self-portrait of Frida wearing a necklace of thorn and a hummingbird. She’s surrounded by large green leaves, a monkey and a black cat. The picture is a symbol of Frida herself. It expresses pain, that’s why the hummingbird, which is always colorful, is black and lifeless.

Art In Churches

This year we learned about lots of types of arts. One of them was the Art in Churches.


Our class went to three types of Churches to see the paintings on the walls and on the roof. Of course that not all of them had paintings on those places. One of the churches had wood carvings of saints and angels, and it had massive wood boards with passages from the Bible. Another church had lots of beautiful paintings on the walls and on the roof. The other church had paintings too, but those ones were older and in a bad condition. Despite the bad condition, it was a pretty church too.

Our Talks


   Our Talks is a particular event that happens in our school. It’s based on TED Talks but is done by the students of first and second years of high school. They have 5 to 10 minutes to talk about something according to the theme. For example, this year the theme was the culture of peace.
    
They talked about education, respect, and a lot of other things. There was this girl that talked about education, how it’s being applied (in Brazil) and how it should be applied. There were two girls that talked about education for girls that do not have education yet. A boy talked about the “culture” of calling people homophobic, racist, fascist, Nazi or other things, just because of what they think or something that they say.

Testimonial- Our Friendship

That is the story of how we started being friends:

  Fernanda was born in São Bernardo do Campo, moved to São José do Rio Preto in 2012 (when she was 9) and started studying at Colégio São José three days after the moving.
  Julia was born in São José do Rio Preto and started studying at Colégio São José in 2007 (when she was 5).
  They always studied in different classes, knew each other but never really talked (and Fernanda though Julia was singy, but it didn't matter), until 2015, when Julia moved to Fernanda's class and they became classmates. They were not friends, they became friends just in 2016, because of Larissa, a friend in common. Since this, they became best friends.
