The person I really admire is my dad. He’s 53 years old. He is a business man and  he is the owner of a company of air conditioning. The company is very old and it was very  profitable. Unfortunately, nowadays and because we are in  a crisis the business is not very good. However my dad doesn’t give up and he’s trying  to recover. That’s why I admire my father!

Vik Muniz is a Brazilian plastic artist who has contributed a lot to my personality and to why I chose the area  of arts.

He made a campaign to help rubbish collectors that’s based on creating art with rubbish and selling it to earn money to give back to the bin-men!

Vik makes art with everything from liquid chocolate to beans.

Vik Muniz is an inspiration for me because he tells me to make art with all my dreams!!!

I really admire Pablo Picasso because he was a wonderful painter. He painted a lot of paintings but the one that I really admire is  “Guernica” that is about a small Spanish city that  was destroyed in 1937.

Picasso was one of the best painters of the XX century.

Daniel

He is probably the best manager in the world and has revolutionized the world of football with his amazing tactics. He has adapted his football to English, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish championships and has already won two European championships with F.C. Porto and Inter.

Nuno

My brother is intelligent and crazy. He studies at Oxford university and he won a lot off medals in scientific Olympics.

When he was a child and went to primary school, he knew how to read and write. He is very courageous and determined. It is because of all of these things that he is my inspiration.

Martin Luther King was born on 15 January and during his life he fought against racism because he was a black person and he was sad because black people had to sit at the back of buses. He hated discrimination. His most famous speech started with “I have a dream…”. He organised lots of campaigns and had lots of followers. On 4 April he was killed. Nowadays, in America there is a holiday honoring Martin Luther King on the third Monday of January to be close to his birthday. This year it is on 16 January 2012.

I truly admire Leonardo da Vinci because he was an excellent painter as well as a brilliant sculptor. He painted some amazing paintings including “Mona Lisa”. He also created some models, that today influenced the modern helicopter.

For me he will always be the greatest genius in history

Miguel

Matt Groening created the “Simpsons” and “Futurama” that brought laughter to the world, making him very successful.
