The lovers ll

He painted this in 1928.

  A barrier of fabric prevents the intimate embrace between two lovers, transforming an act of passion into one of isolation and frustration. It is a depiction of the inability to fully unveil the true nature of even our most intimate companions.

The son of man

He painted this in 1946.

It consists of a man in an overcoat and a bowler hat standing in front of a short wall, beyond which is the sea and cloudy sky. The man's face is largely obscured by a hovering green apple. However his eyes can  be seen peeking over the edge of the apple. His left arm appears to bend backwards at the elbow. Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see. It make us gain the curiousity. This painting can take the form of a intense feeling,between the visible that is hidden and the visible that is present.

Empire of light 

He painted this in 1950.
Numerous versions of which exist, a dark, nocturmal street scene is set against a pastel-blue. A painting with the combination of day and night. It represent sunlight, the source of clarity, here causes the confusion and unease traditionally associated with darkness. The luminosity of the sky becomes unsettling, making the empty darkness below even more hard to access than it would seem in a normal context.

The Rape

He painted this in 1945. 

The woman facial features are replaced by the torso and pelvis of a naked woman is suggestive firstly of the way males see the woman. This idea is to create a sexual image out of the woman face. This painting is also an reference to his mother death and the way in which she died with her face covered and her body naked. His mother was drowned when he was very young. This painting also have a different idea that actually the neck and head are quite flat. The hair also has an unnatural appearance. Magritte might want to frighten with his paintings, to provoke. It is the rape in progressm the phallus of the face , penetrating the pubic mound.

Plan the presentation by writing notes cards. Put in some fun facts interactive questions and activities on the cards to share with the class. In addition, write down keywords or main ideas to let us know what are we going to talk to the class. 

Practice.  Work on what and how we going to say. It will feel more confident when we do the real thing so that can eliminate the unnecessary grammar mistakes.

Ask. Ask feedback from family or friends of your preformances. 

Eye contact. It is very important when we presenting. Without eye contact, people will feel bored and would not want to listen to the presentation. 

Research. Research things that we going to share in the class. Get quotes from reliable sources will make a good presentation. Make sure sources are trustworthy.

Smile. Always put on a smile whenever we are presenting. It will influence the audience to continue listen to what are you presenting.

Be confident. If there is lack of confidence, we will be hard to deliver our words well and sometimes will be stuck in the middle of the presentation. Must be confident and try not to be too nervous whenever we are presenting. Always believe in ourselves that we can do it.

Use media ( pictures and video ) . Bring in some pictures or some interesting thing to share with the class so that they will stay focus in what we are presenting. As not all the audience can catch up with the words we say. We can make them be more attentive and catch up in what we are talking.

Conclusion. It is the final expression on the audience. Ending with a question is a good way of getting the audience to think about the presentation in an interesting way. 

Avoid covering up slides. Try to use our own words to speak to the class when we presenting. So that to prevent no eye contact with them continuously.

I did not attend the lesson again last week due to lack of sleep the night before.

I was so disappointed in myself as i could not wake up in the morning to go to the lesson. My friends has tell me what to do for my homework. I feel so troublesome to always make my classmates have difficulties. I really hope i can wake up on time to go to the lesson as well as others too. This make me realise that i should wake up on time to go for the lesson to catch up with my work.
