HALLOWEEN

HALLOWEEN is  a holiday  in many English speaking countries that is celebrated on the night of October 31st. Children wear costumes  and they go to peoples' homes saying "Trick  or treat to ask for candy or sweets, the Pagan holiday Samhain,that the All Saints holy day replaced, is also known as the Day of the Dead.It is the day that the souls of dead people are believed to come back to Earth. It is said that on the night of all Hallow's Eve the gap between the living and dead worlds are closer,and that dead souls come back to earth. People, not wanting to be possessed would leave food and drinks outside their doors to please the souls, this is only believed in some religions, some people would dress up as ghosts and scary things so the dead souls would think that they were dead too, or to scare them away.

Banksy

   Tags arts Banksy (Bristol 1974,1975) is an artist, writer. He is one of the greatest exponent if street art. You Know him who grew up in Bristol but his real identity is kept secret. His works are often satirical background and cover topics such as politics. The technique I prefer for his works is Guerilla art, it has always been the stencil which just with Banksy has arrived to collect an even greater success street, artist around the world. His stencils have been popping up just in Bristol then in Landon, particularly  in the areas to the  northeast, and to follow in major European capitals, greatly not only on the walls of the streets, but also in unexpected places like the cages at the zoo.
