After a short break, we welcome again the Be Art Smart series. In this issue, Carmen, our contributor from Gozo, has once again provided a very interesting and informative article about Abstract Paintings and Pablo Picasso. In his painting Weeping Woman, we learn about the style of this particular painting: Cubism, which basically makes use of a lot of geometrical shapes. We invite you to take part in the competition, which could win you a fabulous prize courtesy of Galea Art Studio of Valletta which is once again sponsoring this competition.

We are again reminding you of the McDonald’s Carnival Competition. Either send us your Carnival mask itself or else you can scan the mask and send it to:

[email protected]. In this issue, McDonald’s is announcing the various Carnival parties that are planned in its restaurants during the Carnival holidays. It is better to book for these parties so that you will not be disappointed.

Do not forget to get your copy of Saghtar. It is once again full of very interesting and informative articles from various contributors including students.

We at Crackers wish you the best of luck for the half-yearly exams.

See you next Thursday

Frances
