  The visit to the British museum was incredible and immediately caught my attention for its super creative and charming presentation.

  I explored the site a lot, trying to enjoy all its contributions, I read about many works of art, and to choose my favorite it was a little complicated but I managed to decide (see post nº2).

Undoubtedly, a great way to learn and study English, especially the construction and elaboration of texts by the various provided and by the proposed activity ", write a brief summary of the most important information about two pieces of art: name, author / artist, origin ( country / continent) and a brief description.

  This XVI century painting is belived to have been comedy by South Africa’s indigenous San and Khoi populations.

  An old-fashioned work of art, made with base of plants and fruits, miraculously preserved on a cave wall for several centuries.

  Thought to date to the period 1700-1750, the image is an important reminder of the first contact period between the pre-colonial populations of South Africa and the colonial maritime world of Europe.

  The fact of three of the ship's flags are blowing left while the aft flag blows to the right, suggesting the artist was not necessarily familiar with the sailing vessel  ships, needing an in-depth study to realize this painting, that made it a piece of history.
