The final blog my dear friends

Image
 Years ago, I thought that I was obliged to pass English or I would have to pay another year of university (which is still like this), but I have felt more confident, relax and comfortable in that sense because the English classes have been pleasant and easy to take for me. The blogs can take a long time to build, but I love to write and I have met my classmates in a deeper way, especially when the only way to access them (with online classes) is through blogs, or group dynamics in classes. The aspects in english that I must continue working on are pronunciation and fluency when I am speaking, because I've only practiced pronunciation in classes and fluency is difficult for me because I think about many things at the same time and sometimes I end up stumbling or not saying what I wanted exactly, but I think that if I practice more conversation with a friend (who studied translation) I could improve. I definitely use English more now than before. I can see some videos on YouTube tha...

Things need to change

 Throughout these years in college I have thought about all the things that need to be changed. For example, there are mandatory non-art elective classes that are taken in order of enrollment, but art students are allowed to enroll last, so we always take what no one wanted to take. If I could, I would replace it with practice activities where students are admitted to museums and galleries, and thus they can enter that field when they graduate from the career.  I believe, on the other hand, that the academic workload  and lenght of studies is fine, and in that sense I wouldn't change anything.  The infrastructure has always been a problem and in fact there have been student mobilizations in this regard, since all the ceilings of the art faculty are built with a material that causes cancer and which is also illegal to use now. So I would definitely change the rector, who promised to change the roofs and has done nothing about it in two years.  If we talk about te...

A course I would like to take

  As the end of my degree approaches, I am more indecisive about what I will do next. But if I had the opportunity to study what I wanted, I would like to take a doctorate in philosophy, with a major in aesthetics and new digital media. Although of course, to access to it, you should have at least a master's degree. The magister in that case, can be the same topic of investigation, new media or contemporary art. The reason why I am interested in doing this doctorate sometime when I have money saved, is that throughout the plastic arts career, the most entertaining classes I had were taught by professors who had done this doctorate. I would like to take a program taught by the University of Chile, since I find it interesting, it also has the advantage of being relatively close to my house where my mother and sister are living. I am a person who cares a lot about the family, so I couldn't do it abroad, but if the classes were online I would change my mind. It would be great to ha...

A job for me

  I don't like to think a lot about work and the future because people have scared me, every time you say you study arts there is a comment about the lack of work and things like that. But if I had to dream, beyond all these fears and insecurities, the job I would like to have would be to paint and sell very expensive paintings. I imagine myself painting at home and going outside very little, perhaps with pale skin from being locked up for so long. I definitely like indoor jobs, as you may have noticead.  Although I wouldn't mind traveling if it is from time to time to beautiful countries. I would like to be very well financially so as not to worry too much about subsisting and eventually taking care of my mother or my sister, so the salary, which is the paintings sold, must be gigantic.  On the other hand, now I study plastic arts and perhaps next year I will study to be a teacher, because I like to teach, but also for job and economic stability, since nothing assures me...

A photo and the story

Image
  This photo was taken by my younger sister, she is 11 years younger than me and is like my daughter, her name is Martina. In the photo, me and her appeared, about two years ago, one day I stayed with her, in sleepover mode, which is usual, because I always take care of her, since she was born. I like this photo because it captures the happy and fun character of my sister. We slept together, watched movies at night and talked about life, the next morning she woke me up taking pictures of me and I told her that I looked very bad, so we decided to edit the photo, but in a very exaggerated way. She edited it with my cell phone editing apps and put different filters on it. She particularly likes the photo because she says it looks like a noodle or a worm is coming out of the hole in her nose. I also like this photo because it represents a time when my sister was more communicative and close to me, now she is going through adolescence and is more isolated. I hope that when she grows up ...

I love cinema

Image
 I have always loved the cinema, but since I am studying art I believe that I  have another relationship with it because with the art my sensations open up to the visual elements and also I'm very open to feel whatever the movie or series makes me feel.  I have a lot of empathy and I'm so sensitive too, so practically I feel always like the protagonist, the secundary character or even the extras.  I generally like fantasy, action, psychological or suspense movies. I also like to watch documentary series of serial killers or political dictators, although the last time I saw a documentary of a person surfing a 36-meter wave. I've actually seen a lot of movies and series, so naming just a few types of genres sounds very specific.  A remarkable film that I've seen is called "La la land", I was crying for almost two days after seeing it. The movie is a musical and meanwhile the plot progresses it turns into a kind of magical realism, where the characters walk throu...

The best holiday I've had

Image
The best holiday I have had was in January of this year, when I went with my boyfriend to Laguna Verde. It was a very good holiday because we were completely alone for a week and it was very comfortable to be with him pretending to be a couple living together. Apart from being romantic, we were able to realize our good coexistence meanwhile  we're dealing with common problems in the house (such as sharing chores and adapting to each other's times). We walked to the beach every day, sunbathed, watched two entire TV series, read a lot, and we did ... well, the things couples do when they're alone. It was the best holiday compared to others that I have had with my family or my friends, because with my boyfriend (unlike with other people) I get along very well with him and in general he's very relaxed, so there are never uncomfortable moments . I also became friends with many dogs in the area, which for me, is always a great thing. -Laguna Verde Beach
