Trip to St.Lawrence and St.James

I went to St.Lawrence and St.James with my classmates and teacher Joseph last week. That was a great day. I know about some Toronto histories and cultures. Toronto had a old name was York at 1793. At that time the population was only 200. St.Lawrence was a first City Hall near the Ontario Lake, after 200 years, this area had a great change you cannot find the original city area, but some building  keep style and features very well. Today when we talking about those building and saw the history, you may be disbelief at all, but we need keep surprised and to know.

Another amazing thing was Organ Festival  in St.James. that was my first time to met the organ nice muice at St.James. The organ is a keybord  instument of one and more divsions. each player with its own keyboard operated  either with the hands or the feet. The organ is a relatively old musical instrument in the Western musical tradition. I was so enjoy that.

Do you know Picasso? Last Friday we went to the AGO and saw the Picasso Exhibition. Picasso was born in Spain the city of  Malaga in 1881, and died in France in 1973. He was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer. He spent most of his adult life in Paris. Picasso was One of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century. Picasso's creativity is amazing. His works total approximately 60,000 but he only paintied ten thousand pictures. He was a artist who lived to see their collertion of works installed in the Louvre painter. Picasso's life is so Brilliant.

Picasso received formal artistic training from his father in figure and oil painting when he was 7 years old. When Picasso was 16, Picasso's father and uncle decided to send him to Madrid's Royal Academy of San Fernando, the country's foremost art school. Picasso made his first trip to Paris in 1900. Paris was the art capital of Europe. There he met his first Parisian friend and began the time of  his Blue Period....
