After school... I am going to go to University. Which one?

When I leave my school I am going to go to the Trinity College where I will study Art and Design, in Dublin - Ireland. I've NEVER been in Ireland, but I think that is a great and an amazing city and it's always good to make new experiences.

My interests in art and design - all above in art - started when I was little and I drew everytime, because when you are really small you have lots of creativity (and when you grow up you have to try to never lose it). In the afternoon I went in the art lab and I've learn how to do nice and colorful drawings. Then at the middle school, thanks to my Art teacher, I've learn how to painting and to draw things or people in a more complex way but in tecnic I am not very good because now I attend the High School of Languages, for many reasons, and here we do Art just from the third year.

But I really love art and design and I want to know all about it. 

So, actually I can't study really well art, but the truth is that I want to create something of mine and explain what means to me. And I'm sure that art is a form to express myself - it helps me to be more confident and to calm me. I really love Art and I'd like to have a Degree in Art and Design.. that would be the world to me.

Once I've read a quote that say "Art is a way of survival" and I agree.

↓Sant Patrick's Day and Easter!↓

Who is St. Patrick and why people celebrete him? Well, Sant Patrick today is the patron of Ireland and people celebrate every year on March 17th in his honour. They organized amazing parties and parade, eat green clover-shaped cookies and have fun.

He was born in a village un Wales and when he was little (at the age of 16) he was captured by Irish pagand, takend to Ireland and sold into slavery for six years, for the simple reason that he came from a Christianity family. During that time, he grew to like the spirit of the Irish. When he escaped and returned to his family, he vowed to one day return to Ireland. Patrick initially encountered many hardships among the pagans, paricularly the druids. They weren’t willing to give up their power over the old religion and feared Patrick and Christianity. Patrick traveled from town to town, tearing down idols and temples and establishing the Catholic Church. So, he brought Christianity in Ireland and he converted many pagans to his religion. He baptized, confirmed, and ordained priests, and he erected schools and monasteries. Thousands came into the Church under his direction. He accomplished all these activities in less than 30 years, during which time the whole island nation of Ireland was converted. Toward the end of his life, he wrote Confessions, in which he gives a record of his life and mission. He died on March 17, 461, of natural causes. He is buried in Downpatrick in present-day Northern Ireland.

There is a legend that tells about Patrick and says that at his time that were a lot of snakes (today in Ireland that aren't snakes) and he chased them into the Irish sea.

EASTER.

Easter is a Christianity festivity. People celebrate it with family and go to the church. In Italy, many churches hold special services on Easter Sunday, which celebrate the Jesus Christ's resurrection.
People have a big lunch and they buy to their kids chocolate eggs and someone also decorate eggs.
In other countries it's organized the Easter Hunt that means to hidden eggs and then children search for them. 

-SYMBOLS OF EASTER

For this festivity there are some important symbols like:
●Eggs symbolize the tomb from which Christ emerged and the hatching of the baby chick is the symbol of new life being born.

●Rabbits rappresent fertility and re-birth. Lambs just re-birth.

●The cross is the symbol of the victory that Jesus had over death.

●Easter Lilies symbolizes the purity of Jesus.

●The Butterfly was chosen as an Easter symbol because of its unique life cycle. It begins as a caterpillar that stands for the time Jesus spent on earth. The cocoon stage is next which represent the crucifixion of Christ and his sepolture. In the last stage it emerges from the cocoon as a beautiful butterfly which symbolizes his resurrection in a new glorified body. As you can see these symbols were not randomly chosen, they all have a specific meaning that is associated with new life and re-birth
