Birthdays have got long history.
In Russia, people
celebrate the occasion with a pie instead of a cake.
In Israel,
the child sits in a chair while grown-ups raise the chair and lower it a number
of times depending on the child's age, plus one for good luck.
In
Scotland, a birthday child usually gets a note of pound and soft smacking.
In Vietnam,
they do not recognize their individual birthdays, but used to celebrate at the
beginning of the New Year.
<span> In Argentina, on the occasion of
fifteenth birthday, they have a huge party which involves the birthday girls to
dance the waltz with their father and other boys.</span>
<span>There are many different forms of art, among them: music, cinema, theatre, literature and others. However, my favourite form of art is painting. I love visiting art galleries and museums to look at exquisite paintings. In my opinion, paintings can say a lot about the artist and his views on life. All artists try to express their feelings and emotions in their paintings. The most common definition of painting is the art of portraying and representing objects with line and colour. The first ones were the depictions of animals. The oldest knowing paintings can be found in France at the Chauvet Cave. Some historians claim that they are about 32, 000 years old. They represent engraved paintings with red ochre and black pigment. The pictures of horses, rhinoceros, lions, and buffalo are shown there. The examples of cave paintings can be also found in other countries, including India, Spain, Australia, and China. While painting, artists use different types of paint. For example, many artists prefer oil painting. Others choose to use pastel or watercolor, gouache or enamel. All techniques are attractive in their own way. Styles of painting also differ. They have changed over the centuries. Some of the latest styles are modernism, impressionism and abstract expressionism. I’m a real art lover and when I get a spare time, I try to visit an art gallery or a museum. I have already visited the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts and the Tretyakov Gallery. However, when I have a chance I’ll go there again. These museums are huge and contain a large collection of art works by Russian and western painters. Apart from that, I have visited the Museum of Nikolay Roerich. I found many unusual and abstract paintings there, which I absolutely loved</span>
