Let’s make a work of art!
By Aitana Ferrándiz & Berta Fontboté

This experience is about how a group of people interpret an object previously chosen. In this case, the object chosen is a broken umbrella. The objective of this study is to know the different ways people can see the same object.

In the explanation of what the person sees, maybe, you'll see some of their hidden problems.
What we've done:
First of all we showed the umbrella to some students. Then we asked what they think the broken umbrella means and these are the results we obtained:
''In my opinion this doesn't mean anything.''
''You've lost your hope.''
''Unuseless, without solution.''
''There's a problem in society.''
''Incomplete.''''You feel saved, but are you really saved?
''Powerlessness, it gets out of hand, because it's a thing that you can't control.''
''It's a disease!''
''An empty space in my life.''
''Fragile, disadvantaged with the others.''

Pollock used not to name his paintings, but his friends did it.
When the artist creates work of art, does he always have the intention or the knowledge of what he wants to express?
Plastic surgery
By Laia Esquerrà

Plastic surgery is, like everything, good and bad. It solves a lot of problems but now it’s used a lot in some countries and sometimes people even abuse it.

For adults I think it’s OK. From my point of view they can do whatever they want with their bodies but they should think about it beforehand.

On one hand there are the good things, like that it helps people with some diseases or health problems and after accidents.

On the other hand there are the people who do it to feel better, to have a perfect body, but do they really think that plastic surgery is going to solve their psychological problems? Are people going to like you more after the operation?

In my opinion, they should think about it beforehand. Everybody is as he’s born and has their own beauty.

I think that parents who permit their kids to have plastic surgery are very irresponsible. Children and teenagers bodies aren’t grown, they are still changing and it is dangerous to change a body, which is changing on its own. Furthermore, it would be unsure how it would end. I think the law shouldn’t permit it.To sum up, I think that people should think about what they do with their bodies before they have plastic surgery. From my point of view, they also should care about their friends or relatives who are going to be operated on.
