Edebiyat dersi ve öğretmenleri çoğu öğrencinin korkulu rüyasıydı. Her ne kadar seviyor ve ilgileniyor olsanız da bu ders genelde...

Literature classes and their teachers were the dreaded dreams of most students. No matter how much you loved it and were interested in it, it was usually challenging and the teachers were conservative, opinionated and demanding. So what were we missing as students? Literature was taught by rote, and little was learned beyond the names and authors of the first works. Lessons became repetitive - as if there was very little to talk about. Perhaps your teacher simply made you rea

Geçen ay başladığım film yorumlama ve değerlendirmelerime bu ay da devam etme şansını yakalayabildim. Bu amaçla olsa gerek film izlemeye daha fazla zaman da ayırmış bulundum. Çünkü Ekim boyunca 7 film izleyerek uzun zamandır izlemediğim kadar ekran karşısına geçtim diyebilirim.

Geçtiğimiz haftalarda dünya sanat tarihinin güncel anlamda en önemlisi olduğunu düşündüğüm haberlerinden biri çıktı ortaya. Sanatseverler...

In the last few weeks, one of the most important events in the history of art has taken place. It was an event of great importance for art lovers, but especially for musicians. No, I'm not talking about everyday singers, I'm talking about real artists. As you may have heard, Mozart has released a new piece. It's called "Serenata ex C" and it's accompanied by three violas. What do you mean, which Mozart am I talking about? The one we know, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Born in 1756
