  • Edward Hopper was an American artist. He was born at the end of the XIX century and he died in 1967. He loved painting scenes of the American life. In his paintings, the characters don't talk, they don't smile. They are always sad because Hopper was nostalgic of the past. His paintings are very realistic with a lot of details to show real life.

     Artist n°3 : Edward Hopper

     The title of this painting is "Nighthawks" ( = les oiseaux de nuits). Hoper made it in 1942

     Artist n°3 : E. Hopper

  • Andy Warhol est probablement l'artiste Américain le plus connu à travers le monde. Il est mort en 1987.

    Au début de sa carrière il crée des publicités pour gagner sa vie. Puis il devient "Pop artist". Il peint les stars de son époque (vous connaissez tous ses portraits de Marylin Monroe). Il peint aussi des produits de consommation de la vie de tous les jours (boîte de consere, bouteille de coca cola, etc..). Souvent Warhol reproduit la même chose plusieurs fois sur un même tableau pour montrer au public, qu'il n'y a aucun message caché derrières ses oeuvres. Juste des objets ou des stars connus de tous et élevés au rang d'oeuvres d'art grâce à lui!

    Andy Warhol

    The title of this painting is "32 Campbell's soup cans". Warhol loved soup... Each soup has got a different flavour (=goût)

    Artist n°2 : A.Warhol

    Your mission : what flavour are the 4 boxes ?

  • "Stay with me" is a song by a British singer called Sam Smith. He was born in 1992The song came out in May 2014 and it was n°1 in the United Kingdom and n°2 in the USA.

    It is a love-ballad. The singer wants his girlfriend to stay with him. He doesn't want the girl to leave him. Romantic, isn't it?

    My question is : Where is Sam Smith in the clip? Prove it

     

    You have got good eyes Kamélia. One point for you!

  • Pour commencer, découvrez un artiste mystérieux : Banksy. C'est un artiste de rue anglais. Personne ne connait son vrai nom ou n'a vu son visage. Il veut rester anonyme.

    Son art consiste à faire des graffitis sur les murs de grandes villes (Londres, Bristol, New York, etc...). Ses oeuvres sont éphémères : elle disparaissent lorsque les murs sont nettoyés ou vandalisés.

    Banksy made this graffiti in 2004 in London, next to Waterloo bridge.

  • Let's start with a love song by a British group, Coldplay. The song is "A sky full of Stars".

    It is part of Coldplay's new album called "Ghost stories".

    The lyrics are simple : the singer has got a new girlfriend and he is madly in love with her.

    My question is : the singer is very happy in this song. Can you prove it?

    Il suffit de dire ce qu'il fait dans le clip et ce qui montre sa joie de vivre...

     

    Very good Becky. You have won the first point in the song contest!!!
