Post #10 English Language Challenges

My experience with learning at the university has been very difficult for me,
from childhood has been difficult. Maybe because always I felt displeased
a little of shame for example when I had to talk in english at the school
now a little less. 
Before I could not go to english classes, I worked to that time.
This year I learned several things writing the blogs, I learned words, grammar,
to express of manner more easy what I mean.
Also I believe is good of use of the blogs because help to read and understand.
in this case of speak and listen in english I it costs me a lot, because I do not practice enough, then what I have learned, I forget it fast.
I plan to improve this by watching TV series in English and without subtitles also listening to music in english and singing.
I have few possibilities to practice English in everyday life, only I only know a pair of people who speak English but lately I have been visiting a friend who comes from USA and I have practiced with him a pair sometimes. 
I would like to learn english without the pressure of failing a subject is a little stressful I think that not help. 
Also I am going to go over the subject again of past years. I have forgotten

several things and others I confuse.

Post #9 Changes to study programme


It is an interesting topic to write. Here in the school currently we are in process of change of the study programme, only remain a pair of year for that
begin with the new programme that I believe is ever time more precarious.
I would like that the programme is directed to the visual arts in this moment
is very disorganized, try to teach many things, that are not  necessary for make or teach an artist visual.
I would change some things, for example: reinstate drawing in fourth year is a subject essential. Also I believe that is necessary unite subject workshops and teoryc subjects. the teory of art should be teach in the workshops.
Also is necessary improve the teacher staff, this is worsened. the renovation is is not apropiated. Some teachers do not have knowledge necessarys to teach art in the university.
I would like that also improve the infrastructrure and technology of the workshops.
Also would be good separate the school of art of the school of trades, for example: ceramics and glodsmithings.
I believe would that be good include a subject of composicion in first year,
because is evident that the most of the students not manage the composition.
The ultimate year of career improve the workshop of artistic creation, this should have a better tracking of the work of each student.
Finally eliminate the degree, this generates a false belief that art is a professional career.

What do you Think?

Post # 8 Summer Holidays

In my next summer holidays, I would like go to anyplace hahaha, a long time ago
that I don't go out. maybe go to the beach or the south of Chile, I don't know to anyplace.

In true I have gone to someplaces in the previous years but only for a couple of dyas but I don't know if this classify as "summer Holidays"

The next year I am planing to go to the south to the house of my great uncle his name is Ancelmo. He lives in Huilio in the country is near of Temuco.

I would like to go to see my family from the south, also to eat roast, take chicha
of apple, eat naturals potatoes and tomatoes of the field, without weird things.

Also I would like to learn to speak mapudungun, I speak a litle but very bad
is really difficult to learn without speaking with the people. I think that is more easy to learn there with them.

Also I want to see the river that across Huilio is very small but is beautiful and good to cool off in the summer.

I would like to record some interviews to people from the Huilio, old people
for that they relate their history and later work with their storiess in the visual arts.

 Also I would like to go there, because many of them now are old people and maybe, in some years they will not be here.

Post # 7 My favourite Picture of me

Difficult to choose one ... I like many, but not for my appearance, I like the people who are with me in the pictures.
This is one. I like because I am with my cousins on the beach, enjoying the summer. I not know where we are exactly, I not remember, but I like very much the place. I imagine it is the central coast, maybe it is Cartagena or something near there. Almost every year my family went to one of those beaches, because it was good, nice and cheap.
This picture was take, I believe more less in 1989 or 1990, I was about 6 or 7 years old, a long time ago. When I was a kid, I did not like being photographed, for this I look angry in the picture.
In the picture from left to right: my cousin Richi, I, Carolina a cousin and Yoyi another cousin. 
This picture brings me very beautiful memories, of very long summers, just think about playing, delicious foods of my grandmathe, very good times!
I remember that we traveled, in a van of my grandfather. we were about fifteen peoples; imagine how tight we were jajajjaja.
When I see this picture, make me want to go to vacation with my family; also to know and to cross new places and have new experiences.

what good memories! But the idea is to create new experiences.

Blog session 6 Post-graduate studies.

Blog session  6 Post-graduate studies.

I would like study master in visual art at Universidad de Chile the next year

and later some studies that have relation with education. Before I studied 

Pedagogy in art at Universidad de Playa Ancha in Valparaiso, but for lack of money I could not continue studying and I really like that.

I like the subjects of creation, history and theory, also something of writing, all this in the case of master in art.

In the case of something related with education, I would like to study subjects of

learning difficulties and learning assessment. This for my is very important, in
arts is very difficult to know what and how to learn, because it is difficult to measure. In the schools of art the academics is artists some very good but almost none have studied something related to teaching, this affects in the learning of the students.

I would like to study in a system  part-time course, because I have to keep working in others proyects and to live.

In a some moment I would like go to study outside but for the moment in Chile

is more cheap jajaja and also I have desire to continue working in something

related with popular education and autogestion.

 

 

Post 5 My Future Job

The Job is always a complicated topic for the artist (more for his family).
The job of an artist is his work but this is very difficult to live.
I worked during my studies in the university, in some works with teachers of the school
of art. I (did for them) was doing for them, things that require much effort or time. I was
cheap labor jajajaja. They were designing work on computer (photoshop), sanding, painting, solder, etc...
I also did some workshops in schools, in these jobs pay few. Later I started to mount works of others artist. While I was working on my work.
Now I work in a space of art named "La Palmilla Oriente" is a space independent that exhibit works of local, emerging and renowned artist. There are also workshops for the community.
In this place I have very much job, but is interesting and I like, sometimes is difficult to work in team, but I learn of my team mate.
In the future I want to continue with this project. For next year, we are planning new exhibitions
and a publication of the exhibitions of 2016 and 2017.

Post 1 A Country I'd Like to visit

Post 1. A Country I'd Like to visit

  

I would like to visit Mexico. Since I was a kid and I saw "El chavo del ocho" and "Cantinflas" catches me atention mexico and his culture. Also I like his indian side. I would like see the buildings of the oldest cultures, such as: mayas, zapotecas, toltecas.

I know mexico have many museums of different types: art, history, sciences, etc...
In the DF, capital of mexico I would like see the murals at UNAM. These murals were painted by big artist between these David Alfaro Siqueiros, Diego Rivera, Jose Chávez. Other place I would visit is the Palace of Fine Arts, it is a very large and eclectic building. It has a very good collection of art.
Also I would like traveller across the towns and citys small. I think in those places you can better see the culture of each country.

I would go to see different places in Mexico, but surely take advantage of work (drawing, painting, archive during the trip) and I would like to exhibit in mexico some of my work.

here the mural "El pueblo a la universidad, la universidad al pueblo" by David Alfaro Siqueiros.
