Blog 10: English Language Challenges

Imagen
Hello Everyone! I must say I waited for this day of the first blog because it means that classes end soon   and that make me so happy because is my last subject in the career but I have to say I'm very enjoyed Benjy's classes because he is a very good teacher in every way.  My experience learning English was good most of the time except with the teacher from last semester who I didn't like the way she treated us even though she taught well but I think that doesn't justify dealing with students in certain ways I It was entertaining making blogs about different topics of our lives and the most important thing was to learn about social, political and diversity issues, I really enjoyed it and I think it's important to talk about all that and I love that you use your classes to teach us about it Writing every week on the blog has helped me to remember some words I had forgotten I think the blog was a very good methodology to learn, improve our writing skills an...

Blog 9: Changes to my study program

Imagen
Hello everyone, today I will talk about the changes that I think would make to improve for my career of VisualArts. About the curriculum I think some theoretical subjects could have more related to practical subjects and I would eliminate some subjects because I think some aren’t really useful and we waste our time instead of spend more time in our important workshops who are more demanding and we need a lot of time in them. About the workload is a difficult issue in the visual arts career because to be better in whatever we choose we must practice a lot and we lack time to finish our work on time, that's why the duration of the race It would have to be greater to reach to deepen in each knowledge. About the infrastructure, the problems are obvious. In the classrooms we have mousetraps  and many times I have seen them in several sizes. Teachers sometimes try to kill them and I feel sorry but it is unhealthy to be working in a place where we can get sick. The tr...

Blog 8: Independence day vacation

Imagen
Hello everyone  Today I’m going to talk about the Independence day vacation and what i’m going to do that week. Probably that week I will go to the beach with my friends and eat empanadas, drink navegado. But I don’t really like the Independence day, I think  it should be cool for the people who need vacations and I remember when I was in the university with more subjects and I really appreciated the week of the Independence day but that was the only reason because there are some things I don’t like about that celebration like the rodeo,   some people say that is a tradition  but I think some traditions must be finish for respect with animals, we can progress.  The other reason I don’t like that celebration is for all the meat the people eats like if it were the end of the world. All of this can be dramatic for some people but I don’t care because for me the animals are more important the celebration of the Independence day.  In th...

Blog 7: Pets

Imagen
Hello everyone  Today i’m going to talk about pets, it is my favorite topic because I can talk much about this. I remember one day when I went to the beach with my Friends, in the night me and a friend talked almost three hours about our pets and their adventures, my friend Alejandra told me very funny stories but I was tired so I listened with many effort because I love the pets stories and she had almost six pets, four dogs, one bunny and one cat. One day she and her dogs went for a walk and one of them tried to be brave with others two big dogs and before he start to run so fast, escaping from them, my friend with her other three dogs became very nervous and affraid because the two big dogs get angry and she thought the big dogs were going to attack her, but that didn’t happen, they went after her “brave dog” who finnally arrived to her home to hide. Actually I have two dogs, one is Ody and is a dachshund or a “hot dog” and the other, Nico,  is a “kiltro” he i...

Blog 6: Postgraduate Studies

Imagen
Hello everyone, Today I will talk about the postgraduate I would like to study in a near future. As I told you in the previous blog, I have many different interests and I have a hard time choosing one in particular but I think I'm interested in taking a course related to sculpture. Currently at the University, I only have the subject of English, and I am  at the moment searching for workshops to apply to in Santiago, so I can learn new techniques regarding ceramic.  Plus, I would like to learn new skills. experiences and to meet new and interesting people. In the future, it would be appealing to study abroad. I have been searching online about scholarships to study in Spain or China, and I have been visiting Meetups and scholarships fairs in order to get information about them.  Personally, I would prefer to go to China instead of Spain because of its rich culture about ceramic, plus I think it would be interesting to be in a country so much different than Chil...

Blog 5: My future job

Imagen
Hello everyone Today I will talk about what I want to do in the future. It really is very difficult for me to imagine that because I like to do many things and prefer to focus on the present. I imagine having a pottery workshop and molds in my house, working for people who order me special orders. And also doing some 3D printing, maybe having a 3D printer too. I imagine working in my own workshop but also learning in other places with more people who know much more than me, travel to other regions and countries to continue learning. I would like to have a photography studio as well and continue doing nature sessions that I like so much. I studied sculpture, ceramics, textiles and molds, I also like photography and other things that are not related to art, I hope I can do everything and don’t stop doing anything that I like. Salary is difficult for an artist but can earn enough to have a quiet life to be able to travel, and continue learning new things and to have a health...

Blog 4: Children of God Review

Imagen
Hello everyone, today I’m talk about the film Children of God , a Caribbean movie who show us a LGBTQI story and the issues that involv the people in the real life. My favorite character was Johnny because he was a young man who began to discover himself, at the biginning he was a shy and scary to show what he really felt and to being who he rally was. This character show us the reality of all of us when we started to know ourselfs no matter what are our interests and differences and that’s the reason why I loved the movie , I will recommend it to my friends, I thing they’ll love it too. My favorite thing about the film was the progress of Johnny, who lives differents moments to learn about himself. Some moments was very happy and others very sad like when Romeo hides the truth, that was a low blow but unfortunately in life we find people like that, afraid to be themselves.  The scene when Romeo hurts Johnny and when Johnny dies, both didn’t like me because was ...
