2nd Partial: TASK #7 Team work

a) Project set up b) Working in the project c) Project presentation

First, we were told to make a creation with any material we wished to use. The team I was in is conformed by Yolani Muñoz, Diana Garza, Daniela Escobar, Raul Torres, Rodrigo Olivera and me. We chose a thing (I don't remember its name) that has a consistence similar to the concrete to make kind of a sculpture, which we did, it's a little ensemble of 5 ideas in one.

Yolani did the turtle that at the beggining was meant to be a butterfly; Diana made two bizarre eyes that after a preview needed a touch of severe insanity to achieve the goal (creativity), so she drowned a real red ant and stick it to one eye. Daniela made quickly but not less carefully a puffy penguin, who wore a mexican sombrero made by Rodrigo and Raul. Both of them also made the stem of a mysterious looking tree, where all our creations were set up. Last but not least, I made a present with a very big bun in comparison to the box so it could look a little bit more different from other presents shown before.

As I mentioned before, the way we presented the project was that when each member of the team finished its creation we put all the sculptures together and made one. After that we only waited until everything was already dry and then we took some pictures of it, this one above is one of them.

2nd Partial: TASK #4 Mexican creativity ;)

Fusil Mondragón

The Fusil Porfirio Díaz Sistema Mondragón Model 1908 was the first fusil semiautomatic of the world. It was designed by the Mexican general Manuel Mondragón, the one who patented the weapon in 1887.

The fusil was powered by the gases of the shot, by means of a cylinder and his respective piston, something quite usual nowadays but very unusual for his period. It had a rotary bolt, which moved  by means of tetones that fit in spiral flutes of the walls of the drawer of mechanisms; also could employ like a fusil

of bolts with rectilinear action. It shot 7 x 57 mauser cartridges, fed by a magazine for 8 rounds.

This rifle was known by its accuracy and stopping power, but the automatic versions were difficult to control when fired with automatic mode. For 1910 they had already built factories in the cities of Veracruz, Ciudad Juárez, Guanajuato, Guadalajara y México, D. F., where they were produced until 1943.

The Mondragón was so precise that the Wehrmacht added it a scope and used it as a semi-automatic sniper rifle during the Second World War.

2nd Partial: TASK #3 MEXICO!!!

I'm proud to say I am mexican, I wasn't born here but I feel as if I was.

My parents have lived long time in this land and they are also proud of being who they are and of whom they come from.

I think a Nation can't be only viewed from a politic perspective, a Nation (Mexico in this case) has a lot of things more than that like territory and oh my God, ask me if it doesn't. It has really beautiful landscapes and great climate, it has sun, it has rain and every suitable condition for a good way of living. I know that obviously the terrain is not everything that matters to live well, but is one thing it can make you happy.

Another thing I admire from Mexico is its people and its culture, the first one because they are always so kind, peaceful, gentle, serviceable, partying, joyful, loving, tender, cheerful and many positive adjectives that can describe them. And the second one because it has its pre-history since 1300BC, starting with the Olmecs and continuing with the others that came by after. Then, when the spanish people conquered mexicans, with all that hodgepodge, natives were taught to adopt that different way of thinking, organizing and everything. So we are priviledged because Mexico has very strong roots because of our indian ancestors and a renewed bower because of the spanish people.

Mexico has a lot of biodiversity and each one of us has to make it worth the creation by taking a good advantage of all the natural resources we have, this means that we have to respect nature at the same time as nature respects us 'cause we're part of it. You and me, we were all born to be free, free as a bird...

2nd Partial: TASK #2 French Sculpture

"THE NATURE IS UNDRESSED BEFORE THE SCIENCE"

  This sculpture was made by the artist  Louis-Ernest Barrias, I chose it because I think it is very creative, from the title to what it is madre of. I loved precisely that, the variety of materials that the sculptor used and how he knew how to give each part of his creation the perfect colors so they could fill observers' eyes. It is good to include that the woman's body is really beautiful; it transmits health, energy and delicacy at the same time, noticing the wonderful movement of the model at the moment in which she was seen by Barrias. This is the most known sculpture of the autor.
