My favourite artist is Picasso. His full name is "Pablo Ruiz Picasso". He was born in Malaga, Spain in 1881. He died on April 8, 1973. In 1892 his family moved to La Coruna and he studied in the local School of Fine Arts.


My favourite painting is Guernica because it is so different from the others. It is the depiction of the German bombing of Guernica.

Picasso's periods are:

Blue Period 1901-1904

Femme aux Bras Croisés, 1902

Rose Period 1905-1907

Garçon à la pipe, (Boy with a Pipe), 1905, Rose Period

Analytic cubism (1907-1912) and Synthetic Cubism (1912-1919)

Three Musicians (1921), Museum of Modern Art

Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

I have just finished Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier and I think it's an amazing book. It's mostly a book for girls but still there is a lot of suspense.

At the beginning the story might seem a bit boring because we don't know a lot about the characters but as the story goes on the characters unfold their secrets and the story gets interesting.

I liked the beginning of the book "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again." and the description of the vast house. I also liked the way that although there is no actual action in the book, there is so much suspense.

Rebecca helped me a lot, because there is very good vocabulary. I recommend it as a good book.
