Στο σπίτι των αδερφών Μπροντέ

Μια από τις πιο αγαπημένες και δημοφιλείς συγγραφείς της Αγγλίας, η Έμιλι Μπροντέ που γεννήθηκε στις 30 Ιουλίου 1818 στο Γιορκσάιρ και πέθανε σε ηλικία μόλις 30 ετών, έγινε γνωστή για τα Ανεμοδαρμένα Ύψη, το μόνο μυθιστόρημα που έγραψε κατά τη διάρκεια της ζωής της. Σήμερα το μυθιστόρημά της θεωρείται ένα από τα κλασικά έργα της αγγλικής λογοτεχνίας.

Create your own Picasso art

Pablo Picasso is one of the most influential 20th century artists and the founder of cubism, a revolutionary art movement. 

In Cubism, the artist looks at the subject in a new way in an effort to depict its three-dimensions on a canvas. He breaks it up into many different shapes and then repaints it from different angles. Cubism paved the way for many modern movements of art in the 20th century.
