Changes that could be made in my career

I always have think that my career has things that should be changed, in especially the length of studies. The curriculum it's fine but has things, like some seminars that I personally think should not be art and politics seminar for example is the same as other courses of previous years. I think the part of the curriculum that sees the art history for the career of visual arts is a little insufficient, the subject that happens in my career on art history is almost a brushstroke and often is not enough. As artists we must know how to defend our works

In addition, the workload is very heavy. I think that the evaluations are fine but sometimes the way to evaluate a work is very ambiguous. When I was in previous years, I often had to stay until 10 PM to finish a job at the university and this I think that definitely it's not good. I do not say that study lengths should be easy but I think it's important to have time for other things

About the faculty facilities I think they are terrible (in especially the arts center) but in my faculty. Some terminations are necessary, the isolation of somes workshops is finished and the issue of somes workshops that do not have ventilation and being in them becomes toxic for health and about the use of technology in the faculty I think is fine, the workshops have all the implements they need, although some air conditioning it would not be bad jajaja.


Teaching methods are good, but it always depends on the teacher, there are teachers who teach very well because they are noted to have a vocation, however there are other teachers who are noted a long way away who have no vocation teaching and teach almost obligated.


In spite of everything I like my faculty, because it has the best pastures to sleep :)

My Summer Plans

For this Summer I haven't plans because I think that I'm going to work but it's only a possibility, still I don't decide. The truth I would like to visit the south of Chile because the last summer I went to north of Chile and I visited Calama, San Pedro, Tocopilla, Iquiqui, Codpa and Arica. Well, for this summer I would like go to south and travel for Austral highway. The last year I went to Chiloe but I could not go all the island and I would like to have the chance, only that I don't know about my summer because I don't want go alone, I prefer to go with some friend or my partner. 

I want to visit differents cities and I woul like to know new landcapes and new people, in my travel for the north of Chile I realize that traveling you learn about the people, how pleople are, their culture. Also I would like to go to San Rafael Lake or visit the Chilean Patagonia because some time ago I went to a photograpy exhibition about the Selknam or Onas named: Los espíritus de la Patagonia (The Patagonia spirits) and with the captures really I felt was in these places. So, for this reason I would like to visit the south, I think that Santiago is nice but, the people do not think in the rest of Chile, they often say that "Santiago es chile" (Santiago is Chile) however I believe that the people that say this do no visit nothing of Chile (or is people very ignorant).

Whatever, I hope can go to the Patagonia and go all for Austral highway and know beautiful people.

My favourite piece of art

It's dificult to choose a piece of art because I'm studying art, I had choose between many pieces and exist paintings or sculptures really nice, the same happen with the Contemporary Art but in spite of this I think that my favourite piece of Art is La Toilette de Henri Toulouse Lautrec. It's a beautiful paiting and the author it was Frenchman painter considerate inside the Postimpressionism, for me he is the best painter of this artistic movement because I love your technique: Lautrec used the oil how if was crayon created a diferent atmosphere in your pieces. the colors are used with calm leaving some parts of cardboard with base. La Toilette was painting with oil on cardboard in 1896 and the model not was traditional girl of time, Lautrec choose whorehourse girls for representation in your paintings, liked scenes with actors, dancings, prostitutes and  bourgeois, you know, scenes that come out of the ordinary. 
The truth I like Modern Art because I believe that without that change the art would be stuck in the same paradigm and the Modern Arts was the necessary  for the Contemporary Art will develop because I think that in this time, the academy had a strong power on the artistic production. 
I love this painting that the last year I painting a copy for my workshop how exercise for learn represent human body in oil. It was a challenge for me but I could paint a piece that I loved.
