Smile

    Thanks to Charles Chaplin    
    by this smiley composition.   

"Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile with your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you just
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile"


If you smile looking at the clouds is easier that they would smile to you.
 We can learn a lot of great talent artists.


Charles Chaplin was a genius of expression without words.
But he had a multifaceted personality and he also dared with chords.


Smiling is easy with this video.

Communication and Education

Enjoy this great creation.

Behind the Scenes.



The Legend - Behind the Scenes from Lucil Film on Vimeo.


 The new audiovisual techniques
 are becoming  sophisticated.
If education include the knowledge of audiovisual world
 then the children will discriminate
 between real and virtual information.

The education can use the audiovisual aids.
However can be interesting include an audiovisual culture
 about history of movies or animation,
theory of comercial marketing,
 evolution of sound and music, ...

In fact the audiovisual world
 already has a priority role.

Your new friend

Zoog is here to make friends with you.


Zogg song from dpbimages on Vimeo.

Do you want to sing his song?


ZOOG SONG 
by David Browne


My name is Zogg
I look quite odd
I'm not from here
it's probably clear.

I'm here to make friends with you
to see your home, you can see mine too.
What a lovely place is planet earth,
with animals, trees and people too.

Zogg Zogg. We are here.

My name is Zogg
I'm not from here
I'm from a planet
that's not so dear

My planet is based from funny things
from rubish thrown out by human beings
Old cars and plastic, everything
It's not too bad but I like some trees.

Zogg Zogg. We are here.

My name is Zogg
I look quite odd
I'm not from here
it's probably clear.

It's time for to say goodbye,
I'm running late, so I'll have to fly,
thanks for showing me around,
I've got a really lovely time!!!

Zogg Zogg. We are here.

The Comic Art

The comic book art helps to read
because each vignette shows you a bit
what is about to happen in the adventure
and before reading you can imagine the future.








Enjoy it.

Tongue twisters

The  tongue twister embroils the tongue
and the words crash among teeth and tongue.
If they don't confuse, they aren't tongue twisters
Do you understand my lovely brothers and sisters ?

Try to repeat quickly this one you choose.
It is a funny speaking practice.

Tongue twisters for you

Eyes in Space

 You can relativize some question
and can get imaginative solutions
if you open your mind and your eyes
and watching the world from the sky.


This great video could inspire you.



EYES IN SPACE /// José González "Every Age" from EYES IN SPACE on Vimeo.


Lyrics of "Every Age" by José González are also inspiriting.

Every age has its turn,
Every branch of the tree has to learn
Learn to grow, find its way
Make the best of this show its day
Take the seat take the spade
Take this dream of a better day
Take your time, build a home
Build a place where we all can belong

Some things change, some remain,
Some will pass us unnoticed by
What to focus on to improve a part
In the face of our ancient tribes
Feel so clear, feel so obvious
To each of the own
But we live together,
Ripping what time and what we have sowed.

We don't choose where we're born,
We don't choose in what part or form
But we can learn to know ourselves

 on this cloud in the void
Take this mind, take this pen
Take this dream of a better land
Take your time, build a home
Build a place where we all belong!




Enjoy it.

A serious matter


 The gold of the twenty-first century is the water.
The water conservation is a serious matter.
There's an interesting video about it.

"Species Encounter: Dive In!, 
an interactive installation is an allegory 
for the plastic we consume ending up 
invading the seas and oceans,
 being absorbed and eaten by many different 
marine species and threatening them.
 In the installation, the animals shapes 
of fish (like lanternfish and opah),
 sea turtles (like leatherback sea turtle and hawksbill turtle) 
and marine mammals (like harbor seals, sperm whales and dolphins), 
are made of recyclable cardboard. 
The center of each shape is filled 
with recycled plastic packaging...."




Species Encounter: Dive In! from Michele Guieu on Vimeo.



"...When you look at the ocean from the beach 
it mostly looks stunningly beautiful.
Yes. But billions of pounds of plastic 

can be found in the oceans around the globe.

Plastic pollution has become a growing plague,

 clogging our waterways, and damaging marine ecosystems.
 44 percent of all seabird species, 22 percent of cetaceans,
 all sea turtle species and a growing list of fish species 
have been documented with plastic in or around their bodies.
 Most of what we eat, drink, or use in any way 
comes packaged in petroleum plastic
 - a material designed to last forever, 
yet used for products that we then throw away.
Seeking out alternatives to the plastic items

 that we rely on is an absolute necessity."


It would be fantastic
 reduce the use of plastic.
Every   drop   is important
and many drops make an ocean.

Polysemy

In the amazing world of words 
some have many meanings.
So here is the polysemy. 

 POLY  = many.   SEMY = meanings.


 "Wave" is a polysemous word interesting.
The waves are everywhere but can not always see.
Often we just perceive its effects.
 The waves are big players in this great video. Enjoy it.

 "Our imagination is stretched to the utmost,
 not, as in fiction, to imagine things 
which are not really there,
 but just to comprehend 
those things which are there."

A singular waterslide

How about riding a waterslide! Can be fantastic.
You just need some straw bales and plastic.
Let's ride to the sound of this nice song.


Keep Your Head Up - Ben Howard from mickey smith on Vimeo.

Lyrics  "Keep your Head Up"
by Ben Howard


I spent my time, watching
The spaces that have grown between us.
And I cut my mind on second best,
Oh the scars that come with the greenness.
And I gave my eyes to the boredom,
Still the seabed wouldn't let me in.
And I try my best to embrace the darkness
In which I swim.

Now walking back, down this mountain,
The strength of a turnin' tide.
Oh the wind so soft, and my skin,
Yeah the sun so hot upon my side.
Oh lookin' out at this happiness
I searched for between the sheets,
Oh feelin' blind, I realize,
All I was searchin' for... was me.
Oh oh-oh, all I was searchin' for was me.

Oh yeah, keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No, no, no, no, keep your mind set, keep your hair long.
Oh my, my darlin', keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
Na, oh, no, no, keep your mind set in your ways.
Keep your heart strong.
Now I saw a friend of mine, the other day,
And he told me that my eyes were gleamin'.
Oh I said I'd been away, and he knew...
Oh he knew the depths I was meanin'.
And it felt so good to see his face,
All the comfort invested in my soul,
Oh to feel the warmth, of his smile,
When he said, 'I'm happy to have you home.'
Oh oh-oh, I'm happy to have you home.

Oh yeah, keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No, no, no, no, keep your mind set, keep your hair long.
Oh my, my darlin', keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No, no, no, no, keep your mind set in your ways.
Well keep your heart strong.

'Cause I'll always remember you the same.
Oh eyes like wildflowers, oh with your demons of change.

(Keep your head up)
(Keep your heart strong)
(Keep your head up)
(Keep your heart strong) May you find happiness here.
(Keep your head up)
(Keep your heart strong)
(Keep your head up)
(Keep your heart strong) May all your hopes all turn out right.

Keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No, no, no, no, keep your mind set, keep your hair long.
Oh my, my darlin', keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
No, no, no, no, keep your mind set in your ways.
Keep your heart strong.

'Cause I'll always remember you the same.
Oh eyes like wildflowers, oh with your demons of change
