BLOG 5 - Changes To My Study Programme

Hi everyone! Today I talk about  my career.  As you know, I study visual arts at Universidad de Chile, this is my last year and I have seen both good and bad things. First of all I really like my career, I find the theoretical classes very interesting and the variety of techniques and crafts that one can learn such as photography, sculpture, engraving, painting, ceramics, textiles, etc. is one of the best things that the program of study offers. But the duration is too short for me, in four years it is not enough to learn everything, since specialization takes time. In terms of infrastructure, the art faculties are very precarious and there are several deficiencies over the years. In the case of the Faculty of Las Encinas, these range from the lack of soap (which in the last semester has been supplied) to water leaks in the roofs. While there are things that have been improving, there is still a lot of work to do.  On the other hand, I really like the food they ...

BLOG 4: Time Travel to the Past.

Imagen
 Hi everybody! Today's I'm talking about travel to the time! When I think of time travel, all the movies or series that deal with it always come to mind, like the movie 13 Going on 30 , which is about a 13 year old girl who makes a wish for her birthday, to be 30 years old and have the job of her dreams. I like this movie because at some point in my pre-teen years I really wanted to be an adult, now I regret it hahaha. And this is why I would now like to travel to the past, but I don't know whether to travel to when I was child or a pre-teenager. I will choose when I was pre-teenager, because it's a moment of my life a little complicated, where I didn't have a good time and I had several problems, specifically when I was 14 years old, I felt very lonely, although I was not, but I isolated myself from everyone. I would like to go back with the mentality I have now and resolve certain things, but also enjoy that age more, you are not always young. If I could go ba...

BLOG 3 - My dream job

Imagen
Hi everyone, today's topic is My dream job.  When I was a child I wanted to be several things like a fashion designer, because my mother is a seamstress, but because of movies like "The Devil Wears Prada" I wanted to work as a magazine editor and when I saw the series CSI miami I wanted to be a detective. Years later when I was 16 years old one of the careers I wanted to study was law, but that changed when in my last year of high school I went to a painting workshop and it was there that I realized that I liked it too much and I decided to study visual arts and I'm already in my last year. I feel that dedicating oneself to the arts in Chile is complicated because there are not many job opportunities. To be a visual artist is to be autonomous, so the salary depends a lot on what you do and how much you earn.  Personally, I tried to work as a photographer in 2021, I made myself a portfolio on Instagram and I was contacted twice to do photo shoots. I liked those experi...

BLOG 2 - The Best Concert

Imagen
Hi everyone! In this blog I will tell you about the best concert that I ever went to and that happened almost a year ago, it was the most awaited concert of the year 2022, yes, I'm talking about Daddy Yankee's show! At first I had no intention of going to the show, because the tickets were very expensive, out of my budget and sold out in minutes. I remember I saw the news about all the hype that his arrival in Chile was having. So, you are asking about how I was the Daddy Yankee concert? Well, on Tuesday September 23rd I was planning to go home after my English class, it was about six o'clock in the afternoon, when on my way to the bus stop I ran into two classmates from the Arts Faculty, who were going to the concert on an illegal way hahaha, and obviously I joined them in the mission. The place was full, we went to one of the side entrances of the National Stadium, but there were also many people, the entrance was closed and on the other side were the police and two ...

Blog 1- A place I would like to visit.

Imagen
It's been a while since I wrote on the blog, so hi, how are you? In this blog I tell you about to the place I would like to visit in the future, Paris. Yes, I know, it's the typical place that almost everyone has ever wanted to go to.  Personally, since I was 13 years old I have wanted to visit Paris, I don't really know how that desire began, but for years I was very determined to go, even for four years I took French classes. The truth is that my enthusiasm for that place is not as much as it was before, but I would go anyway, it's like a pending dream. A part of me thinks I owe it to my little self. It would also be great to go and practice my French, although I have forgotten much of what I knew because time has passed.  If I go, I would like to visit all the museums and galleries in the city. I would choose to walk and take photos, carefully because it is a city where there are several robberies of foreigners. Anyway, I would make the most of the trip and look for ...
