Task 2. An Artist Trick-Torgalo Lisa


Hello everyone!How are you?
So, I'm fine and I really want to share with you information about one of the most daring and scandalous famous artists of our time!
I found this information in a terrific newspaper "The Guardian". You know, I recommend this source of information to you! The article is called "Banksy Auction Stunt Leaves Art World in Shreds" and it's written by freelance journalist Christ Johnston. Here you can find a link to it -https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2018/oct/06/banksy-sothebys-auction-prank-leaves-art-world-in-shreds-girl-with-balloon .
I've chosen this article for you because I really love Banksy and his works. I think that now there are very few such epozhitny and successful people like him!
Recently, he again blew the audience with his trick. At one auction in London after selling his famous picture for £1.04m., it self-destructed. Shortly after the hammer came down on the item, the canvas began to pass through a shredder installed in the frame. After this, Banksy shared a video on his Instagram page which showed a shredder being fitted to the frame of the painting. 
However, what do you think about it? I consider that it's shocking! Moreover, after reading this article, I'd like to study works of Banksy even more and get to his exhibition.
Thanks for reading!I'm waiting for your feedback!
Love,
Lisa

    Hello Lisa,

    I really enjoyed reading your post about Banksy's exhibition. It has been heavily discussed in the news over the last couple of days. I couldn't believe that it was really what happened and am still wondering why he decided to do it this way. My first reaction was a shock too but then I thought that this act actually embodies what Banksy tries to do with his art. So, in the end I think what he did is truly original

A reflection note. Torgalo Elisaveta

                                                           A Reflection Note Our semester is coming to an end, and therefore I want to leave my impressions about the course of studying academic writing. Firstly, I really liked the format in which our classes were held. Since we live in the modern world, I think it is very important to be able to use and process information on the Internet, and this is exactly what some of our lessons were built on. Thanks to this, I learned to look for the information I need and work with anti plagiarism. Moreover, during this semester there was a lot of practice in writing essays of various types. Because of this, I learned how to structure information and express my thoughts correctly in writing. As for the topics themselves, I really liked the themes that we discussed. They are ver...

A for-and-against essay. Torgalo Eliaveta

                                                Are ebooks so popular and good nowadays?                                                             With the development of digital technology, many physical elements, such as pen and paper, are gradually being replaced by computers and smartphones. But is it really good? Since the creation of "electronic readers" more and more people are turning to the technological side of reading.    One major advantage of e-books is portability. With the recent development of e-book readers, you can take an endless amount of books with you on vacation or on the go. Another great advantage of e-books is that they are chea...
