Changes to my study programme

 Hello, in todays  blog i will talk about things that i would change in my study programme. i study visual arts in university of chile, i am in third year, in general, i really like the experience in the university not necessary the subjects or the teaching methods.   i think that the workload is not too  much, i understand that there are other people who can't bear it for me. my favorite subject of the ones i have today is drawing and my central subject that is engraving.  My experience with engraving is something special for me, i do serigraphy and metal engraving. in that subject i would like teachers to be more involved in the creative process and to be a little stricter.  They could teach us more techniques and ways of doing, how to keep us creating constantly.  in drawing is different the teacher is more motivating, he also show us different referents, new readings, we draw all the clases and made a lot of orders with all the mater...

TIME TRAVEL TO THE PAST OR FUTURE

I guess I never thought much about time travel before, but if i had to choose, i choose the past, maybe because the future cause me anxiety, if i travel to the future and then i had to come back at this time, probably i cant live peacefully, i would always be thinking about whats next and somehow i would be predisposed in life, i dont like that.  i would like to travel to the past maybe in the age of rome and greece , they had other perspective of life and culture, with less influences, i would like to see how was that they made the temples and created all that constructions.  But if i had to choose, i would like to travel back in time to see any amy whinehouse live in concert, that would be one of my dreams too, she became much more famous after her death, but I was little anyway, i would take advantage of any opportunity to see her. Lauryn hill also lived at that time, and was also very famous, even though she is not dead is unlikely that she will come to Chile again, b...

My dream job

Imagen
hello, in my case, when i think in the topic, i think i have more than one dream job. im a student of visual arts, and my dreams always have been related to that. when i decided to enter the career, i dont have many things clear, but one of the motivation was to help people, and give them some tools for their lives. other motivation was to do something i enjoy, in the school i suffered for the subjects, i always been more near to the artistic and manual things.  My dad is a photographer, and i have always been close to that. In every photo he takes he works with a team of people. The producer hires the whole team, a photographer, an art director, a makeup artist, and all the necessary things. i think my dream job was near that, maybe as an art director or a photographer, but i visualized myself surrounded by people, working more like a team, and not alone.  Some thing i always worry about is money as well, maybe not too much when i entered the career but now i do, and that is ...

My favourite trip

One of my favourite vacations ever, is when i went to San José, Costa rica, we flew with my parents and my brother, it was the marriage of my uncles. My grandfather worked in Nicaragua in 1980, he was a director of OEA, then he was transferred to Costa rica.   In those years he had two childrens, the brothers of my dad. They are really  'ticos' One of them get married in 2009 and invited the whole family.  We stayed at the grooms house, in that place lived his wife, my uncle, and his son Antonio. I was 10 years old when we went on our trip, i dont remember everything, but definitely was moments and places that i remember very whell. We stayed 3 weeks. In costa rica ate black been all day long, for breakfast, lunch and dinner, something i could never do, in that time i didnt liked, but now i do. We ate a kind of slush, it had strawberry, and condensed milk, it was a tipycal drink, it was sold in all the beaches we went to. Even though I already knew my family members,...

A place i would like to visit

Imagen
One place I would like to visit is Japan, I don't know much about this history , but it catches my attention. i had to search a bit to write this. I am a big fan of food, I like sea food and Asian cuisine.  Japan has a big gastronomy and with a lot of history. One characteristics of his food is the concept of high gastronomy, in almost all the places of Japan you can eat very well. If someday I can go to Japan, I will like to visit the most restaurants as posible. Three quarters of Japan are mountains, and the whole territory is an extension of islands of about three thousand kilometers. I would like to see all the beauty of nature in this place  Japanese culture is full of rites and customs, in this country two religions coexist, a native one: Shintoism  and a foreign one: buddhism. A ritual that can be seen in this place is bathing in hot spring, which has been elevated to the category of therapy.
