1 Read some books

Before starting to study, read or love an artist/scientist/whoever, I think is fundemental to read about his life. This can help to understand in a better way his works.

Improve ideas is easier than redefine basics.

Look a manifesto

Walter Gropius, “Bauhaus Manifesto and Program” (1919) The ultimate aim of all visual arts is the complete building! To embellish buildings was once the noblest function of the fine arts; they were the indispensable components of great architecture.

Today the arts exist in isolation, from which they can be rescued only through the conscious, cooperative effort of all craftsmen. Architects, painters, and sculptors must recognize anew and learn to grasp the composite character of a building both as an entity and in its separate parts. Only then will their work be imbued with the architectonic spirit which it has lost as “salon art.” The old schools of art were unable to produce this unity; how could they, since art cannot be taught. They must be merged once more with the workshop. The mere drawing and painting world of the pattern designer and the applied artist must become a world that builds again. When young people who take a joy in artistic creation once more begin their life’s work by learning a trade, then the unproductive “artist” will no longer be condemned to deficient artistry, for their skill will now be preserved for the crafts, in which they will be able to achieve excellence. Architects, sculptors, painters, we all must return to the crafts! For art is not a “profession.”

There is no essential difference between the artist and the craftsman. The artist is an exalted craftsman. In rare moments of inspiration, transcending the consciousness of his will, the grace of heaven may cause his work to blossom into art. But proficiency in a craft is essential to every artist. Therein lies the prime source of creative imagination. Let us then create a new guild of craftsmen without the class distinctions that raise an arrogant barrier between craftsman and artist! Together let us desire, conceive, and create the new structure of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and painting in one unity and which will one day rise toward heaven from the hands of a million workers like the crystal symbol of a new faith. Walter Gropius

th of November

« Remember, remember the Fifth of November, The Gunpowder Treason and Plot, I know of no reason Why Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent To blow up King and Parli’ment. Three-score barrels of powder below To prove old England’s overthrow; By God’s providence he was catch’d With a dark lantern and burning match. Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring. Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King! »

11 Cooking a recipe

Place the pork skin-side up on a wire rack that fits over an empty roasting tin, and roast for one hour. Reduce the oven temperature to 180C/350F/ Gas 4 and roast for a further two hours. For the cider and apple sauce, heat the apples, butter, water and cider in a coveredl saucepan for 4-5 minutes, or until the apples are soft enough to beat to a purĂŠe. Stir in soft dark brown sugar to taste. Keep warm. For the creamy mash, cook the potatoes in a saucepan of boiling salted water for 10-15 minutes, or until tender. Drain the potatoes, then return to the pan and gently warm to remove any excess moisture.

Remove from the heat and mash the potatoes with the butter and cream until smooth. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside and keep warm. Slice the pork and serve with the mash and apple sauce.

â&#x20AC;&#x153; Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cry over spilt milk â&#x20AC;? First version

The phrase originated in America during the Great Depression because the price of milk as a commodity had fallen so low due to its overabundance relative to demand, that dairy farmers were subsidized by the state to destroy their surplus in order to bring prices back up to a profitable level. Second version

The basis of it is that spilled milk cannot be gathered up and put back in the container. Originated: 1659 as a Britiish proverb.
