Assignment 4. Everybody, let's blog!

Looking up for blogs to comment, I found Camilo Razeto’s. At first I thought it was like “empty”, that’s the sensation I had with the white background. Then reading all the texts I thought it has very attractive things: the content of the posts is very suitable, also very amusing, with interesting reflections. I agree with him about the piece of art he picked up. So, despite the design, which I don’t really like because I think it’s sort of boring maybe because the lack of colours on it or pictures/images/ etc (maybe the simplicity of it was the intention), anyway, despite it I enjoy very much reading most of the assignments (some of them weren’t that interesting mostly because the assignments it selves weren’t attractive). Although, except for the colour thing, it has a very good presentation, like “clean”.
About the links part, I would like to emphasize the great/enjoyable link it has and also the post about the favorite work of art, because about it he was very creative and didn’t refer to the classical art and he made a link between music and an image than can be called art (both music and pictures like that expression of art). I know he really like music so I think it’s great that he was capable to mix lots of interests on his work.

And the picture is something that he might enjoy as "music lover".

My favourite work of art

This is a wonderful work of art from Edouard Manet, named “Le Dejeuner sur l’herbe” and it’s in Paris at the Orsay museum. In English it means “the lunch on the grass”. I like it very very much. I don’t remember exactly when I first saw it, but when I started loving it, was when me and my classmates went to France for the studies trip for three weeks on February 2006.
I think it’s very beautiful and interesting, it’s unique. The look of the naked woman has an incredible effect on the person that is seen it. Just like if she could actually sees you, werever you move, she still looking. And the contrast between the dreassed men and the woman, also calls one atention.

Anyway, I think it’s gorgeus.

Monte Verde. Seaweed, Food, Medicine, and the Peopling of South America

In this article, the authors (Tom D.Dillehay, C. Ramírez,M. Pino,M. B. Collins,J. Rossen,J. D. Pino-Navarro) talk about finding that has been done in Monte Verde, a place located in the region of Los Lagos. The species of marine algae found, (in the Monte Verde II site) dated back 14,220 and 13,980 calendar years before the present, apparently were used by humans for medicine and food. This finding brings new evidence that supports the main idea of early coastal migration, so maybe the south America’s peopling could had been done by sea. On the other hand, in opposite to Clovis theory (early migration from Bering to the north of America), which still very popular, this sites show earlier occupation in the south coasts.
