Bonus blog Gustav Klimt

This week I was reading short books about different artists. The last one I have read is Klimt and His Cat written by Berenice Capatti 35 pages.

The book is about Austrian painter Gustav Klimt. His cat called Katze is giving readers a tour about painter’s life. He mentions important information about Gustav Klimt u and the ways he made wonderful art peaces. The cat explains his daily life and what he does during vacations. On a usual day of work Gustav would invite models to his studio and sketched them. He made lot of scratches and to be a great artist like him you have to use lot of paper. Making scratches took a lot of time while models had to stand still, without lot of movement. He liked to paint people a lot. The artist used lot of gold and other vibrant colors on his paintings.  Even background of his paintings was full of colors full of amazing shapes and figures. During vacations Gustav painted landscapes adding people’s faces to it. He was founder of Vienna Secessionists movement. Those were the artists that did not like to see the same way of producing art over and over again.

Gustav Klimt was born in 1862 and died in 1918. The book also shows some of his paintings.

Vie - compete eagerly with someone in order to do or achieve something.

Players from both teams were vying to score a goal.

Meticulously – showing extreme care about details.

Gustav Klimt was meticulously working on details in his paintings.

I, Freddy

The author of this book is Dietlof Reiche. He wrote this book. This book is about a special breed of hamsters called the golden hamsters.  Freddy wants to escape from the pet store to see the world. There are 202 wonderful pages about an awesome hamster named Freddie. The main action in this book is when he gets adopted by doing many extraordinary tricks to grab attention to be free.  The second exciting part was when he got close to his great grandmother hamster and they were very close. It is a very fun book and I recommend who like funny books about animals.

Vocabulary

1. Crotchety, Crotchety  means irritable or very annoying or very easily annoyed. 

I dislike that man he is very crotchety.

Crotchety is an adjective so you CAN use it every time you describe someone and something.

2. Vociferating, it is to shout, complain or argue loudly and angrily.

This man is being quite rude in fact he is vociferating.

This word is a verb so you HAVE to use it only when a person is doing something.
