English Languaje Challenges

      My experience with the English class has been very difficult because is a language complicated for me, I think that I had not got a good base in this aspect because my school was basic in the english area. However we can go to improving in this aspect through the years practicing in our homes, but I believe that I had did this vary bad. 

     In the University some class had been very enjoyables and interactives but others had been very boring for me because sometime I'm very lost in this, but it isn't frequently. Besides sometimes discourage me have only this class. 

     I think that the English blog is a good tool for the class, however sometimes it's complicated because is difficult write about me, the things like me, the things would like me to do some day, and others. But stoping this topic of side, the blog help us to improve our english and to practice evenly and I hope had progress in this area.

      I believe that need improve to much aspects of me English, above everything the listening and I'm practicing this seeing movies and series in English with subtitle in English too, but this still is difficult for me. Also I'm talking with some friends in english and they are helping me. 

     In this moment of my life I'm not using the English separate of the English for the class, but I think that in a moment I will need this and I hope to be trained, although now I see this a little difficult. 

Changes to my study programme 

      In my opinion is very important that we can to make this type of analysis about ours study programme because it can be useful for new generations because is important that the major generates changes throught the years. Is very important check the study programme before choose one career but it's vague when a person is still very young, and don't know that really want. 

     The curriculum of my career has been changing throught the time, but this not always has been for something better. When I decided study visual arts, one of the options was study in the Catholic University but the study programme I didn't like because this included subject related to religion and I believe that is useless for me. But for other side this career in University of Chile have many infrastructure problems principally in the workshops, because sometimes lacks of tools or flood it with the rains in the winters. 

         When I chose the photography workshop I could realize that it was very precarious and photographer equipments was lacking, for this reason sometimes was very complicated work in this workshop, still is very complicated that the faculty lend you this equipments for some art personal project. However, finally have been achieved advances in this aspects because now the photography workshop have moderns computer for each students and a good study room because when I was in the workshop it was in remodeling.
     I like the study programme of my career, but would modify some aspects for example, I would do that the English class wasn't obligatory (I'm sorry, I must say this) because some people prefer other languages before that the english but it's a problem of the globalization, but in general I love my career!

     

Summer holidays

      When I think in my future summer holidays, the first that comes to my mind is my family, but ALL my family. I would like to visit a place with my family named Guanaqueros, it's a little beach located near of La Serena, because before always we went to holidays together there, but it has been a little difficult the last vacations.

      This has been complicated because we rented a big house (we are a big family, thirty approximately, counting cousins, uncles, grandchildren, and others) every years and the last years this house was sold, now is an ardous work to find a house where we can be all together. It was a sad announcement for us. 

      My family is from Ovalle, fourth region of Coquimbo and we like very much visit Guanaqueros because is a nice, quiet, a little beach and besides it's very near. When we holidays there, we take turns to do domestic activities like cook, wash the dishes, wash the bathrooms, order the rooms, and others, this activities was divided in groups of mothers, pathers, sons, and special activities for more littles like the grandsons. 

      These memories are somethings beautiful for me because we went together to the beach, to take a stroll, have a breakfast, lunch, dinner, all was together. The worst part was for example sometimes some people ate on foot, because the chairs weren't enough, or use the shower because the wait was eternal, but I suppose that it happens in all big families.

My future job

      It's a topic very difficult in this major but in some moment we must confront this. In this moment I'm doing a major in University of Chile, its name is visual art and my minor is photography workshop, but actually I'm taking my last subject, it's English because I haven't decided to take this before and it was an awful decision. But for this reason, today I can speak about my job like "artist" because I'm almost out of this major.

     In this moment (because it's relative) I have several jobs: I work like photographer freelancer in social events like marriages (I don't like very much this but is properly pay), like model of the drawing workshop of the University, like promotional staff some weekends, and also I have some work no remunerates, for example quickly I'll begin to give class of art appreciation cinematographic in an art hall in Conchalí. Besides I must progress in my thesis, and this would be my priority, but the life is expensive and I must work to live like all people in this world, and I love the art and the photography.

     I think that would be like photographer freelancer but to get my own photography study in my home, because of this way I could progress in some remunerates work and in my art project personal too.

     Somethings my works



     

My favourite song or music album

My favourite song or music album

      I believe that this will be the post more difficult for me, because I don't enjoy very much the music in general, when I say this the people say me that it's very strange, because all people enjoy this. For me, it has a simple explanation: when I was a child, lived with my grandparents in a little city (Ovalle), our home was very calm because they didn't listen to much music and our life was very peaceful. I think that for this reason, I don't get to listen to music all the time and I prefer to be in a more quiet place, besides I'm living alone and is very easy to get this. 

      When I'm in my house and want to listen to one song that I remember, I look for this in youtube and repeat this for a very long time until that this bores me, and I switch it off, I know that it's very stranger for the vast majority of people but is usual for me. 

      Is for all this reason that today I couldn't find one song or album for write about this because it would be a invention for leave of the steap, but I'm a person very true (lie, only in occassions jajajaj).

 

A favourite artist  

      This time I', going to write about my favourite artist, but more than that I would like do a posthumous homage to great artist: José Balmes. 

     Balmes was a Spaniard painter but since childhood he has made her home in Chile. He died in august of this year in Santiago, Chile. 

      He arrived to Chile like refugee for the Spain civil war, made her studies in the School of Arts in the University of Chile, and then he was a teacher of this institution (our institution). Also he was designated director of this career and dean still 1973, because this year he had that left this country and be exiled. In 1985 he came back to Chile. 

      Her work like painter is a testimonial vision and gossip of the human actions understanding the painting like memory, in her paintings he occupies various elements like periodic paper, plastics and deciduous tree for this reason her work is very expressive and original. 

      Today I wanted to write about this artist because I think that he was a great contribution to the history of art in our country and a great contribution to our School of Art too. I admire her work and her form that he expressed her opinion in her paintings. 

My best holidays 

      My best holidays was in México the last year, specifically in Oaxaca. In 2014 I was in a student exchange in Universidad Autónoma de México, and the people in charge organized us a trip with all students exchange for a long weekend to the beach. This was great because I could know some México's beaches like Mazunte, Zipolite, Veracruz.

      Despite of high degree of temperature (40 approximate) I like it because I didn't know none beach in my country with cristalline and hot water. Other aspect that I liked very much, was that the holidays were with student of other country like Colombia, Argentina, Venezuela, Germany, Spain and Chile of course.

     The place that I loved, was Mazunte because the landcape mixing beach with jungle and the people there, they are very friendly. The one thing that I didn't like was the mosquito because we had to use repellent and sun block all the time.

      I know that in México there is a beach very more idyllic like Cancún, but the magic of my holidays were my UNAM classmates and learned new things of other countries. 

 

A Country I'd like to visit 

I'd like to visit many countries in all my life but in this moment I'll chose one country: Argentina, because I went there three years ago and I liked it very much, the people and the landscape, but I was there very little time and only in one city: Bariloche, for this reason I'd like to know more about this country. In spite that I live very near of this country I don't know very much because in general in my country doesn't have good references of Argentina, in general we think that the "argentinos" are very arrogant and smug but I don't think this because when I visited this country, they were very polite with me. On the other side, I have listened to that in art area they are more advanced than we are.
When I visit Argentina, I'll talk to many people and ask them about "What do they think about we?", I'll go to all museum and parks. I would like study a postgraduated there, something relatd with film.

                      

My experience using blogs in the english class.






Before starting I must admit that I don't like much write in the English blog because it's hard for me, but I have understood that it's a very good tool for learn to express in other language. I think that in general finally all have enjoyed writing ours different experiences in english because we have learned to know us and to correct ours mistakes in the english writing. I believe that en my case I have progress writing in english because before I don't feel prepared for express my opinion in a text with more that 50 words in english, but now I feel that I can do it despite that I must look for some words in a dictionary but less before. In the future I would like include in the blogs more exercise of

                                                                    

The Music

I think that it's the post more difficult for me in this semester because I don't enjoy much the music in general and I believe that I'm one of the few person that don't enjoy this. In my opinion it's something about a habit because when I was a child I lived in a little city with my grandfather and my grandmother and we were very silents. My grandfather generally was very contemplative because he could be hours siting in the garden looking the people walking in the street and I sat to her side and draw her, and my grandmother did the job of the home and teacher me to cook, now I think that it was a little male chauvinist but enjoyed much lived with they.


I believe that for this I take pleasure in the silence and despite I like dancing I don't know much about music genre. When I'm in my home I remember a song that I like, listen this and then I can`t follow listening more about this artist because I get bored and this transforms in a noise for me. And go to the concert isn't a great landscape for me.

Subject this semester






In my case is very easy choose a subject that I enjoyed this semester because I only have one subject: English. But for other side is a little sad the fact that I can't graduate of this career because I fell behind with English.


We have two times a week this subject, and it were very difficult for me at the beginning because I did not want go to the University only for this class because I had that travel from Ovalle to Santiago all week, but then I begin to enjoy this class because is very entertaining and interactive, and I think that I have learned and improved a lot of english in this semester, the only I don't like do is this blogs jajaja. A important element in this subject had been the teacher, because she help us to progress because is very difficult for somebody learn english, like to me especially in the listening.


I think that I learned to be more patient and more persistent in the english areas and also learned many new words, so my vocabulary is bigger this semester.

                                                        My career

       I like very much Visual Art because it's a career that have helped me to grow like a person and like a professional and I think that I cold't study other career because I tried this but finished to concluded that the art is my true vocation.
       In my opinion the advantages of my career are that in all its areas you must apply the creativity and If you are a creative person, you won't have problems and will get very good result. For other side, the disadvantages are that sometimes you need many times for make a single work because its'n easy like resolve a mathematician problems, because you need a good idea for resolve your work and sometimes the good ideas don't arrive.
      My career is well know because always has been the visual arts in the world but sometimes the people don't understand like this is focus on in the professional area because is complicated understand that a person study for become a painter or sculptor because they don't earn money, but this is so.
      I think that the only requirements to study visual arts is have the attitude and believe that you are a creative person. The benefits for study it are become a person with many abilities in different areas like the creative, like social critical and like a good person.
     The true is that we never know where finishing work because, generally the arts haven't a specific place for work. And talking to money... money? I don't know if I earn money but I will know that will be doing some that I love.
     
     

                                       My Favourite Philosopher 

Today I will write  about my favourite philosopher, he´s Friedrich Engels.

Engels was born in Prusia in 1820 and died in 1895.

He is mi favourite philosopher because he always defended the right of the working class and the exploit people by the ruling class. He was against of the human exploitation. Also he thought that the main problem of the society was the private property because this produced alienation in the working class, If this alienation ended, would become the end of human greed and exploitation.

His thoughts were used to build structure of scientific socialism.

His principal inspiration was Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, German philosopher. Also Engels admired to Thomas Carlyle, british intellectual, who criticized harshly to capitalism too.

His most famous books are: Communist manifest, The origin of the family, private property and the state, Military issues and Situation of the working class in England.

I like his ideas because I think that living in a unequal society and It’s regulates for the capitalism where always wins who has more money, and I would like that this was different.

I always try that my personal interests and decisions not to be regulate for the money and try to build a more equal society helping people around me.

                                                                      Happiness 

      I think that is very difficult define the happiness because for me is a feeling very inexplicable and this depend of each personal experience, but in general I believe that is when the people feel us many positive emotions.
      In general the happiness in the people is associated with the valuation system and the priority for each person. Some people are happy with material things, like a car or a big house and other with spiritual aspects of the life, like living in peace. In my case I believe that I'm happy with simple things like with my cat, his name is Chakiro and I'm very happy with he waiting for me when arrive of University or anyplace, and he moves to me and I hug her, He's very soft.
      When I'm happy I'm not very express this very much because I'm a little reserved with my emotions, but in general I smile more than usual.
       I think that still I haven`t the happiness moment in my life, because I believe that I had have many moments happy and I wouldn't choose alone one, like have a big and great family, being study what I like and I could have said goodbye to my grandmother before she death.
      I think that we can collaborate with others' happiness always respecting the other emotions and other opinions.

   

                                      My  favorite technological element 

         Generally I don`t like very much the technological element because I hate the people that look a screen all the time, but from the moment when I got a professional camera, all change for my, because I love this and I want take a picture all the time. I think that is my best work tool in the career. The photographic camera is my favorite technological element.
        I got it almost three years ago, in this year I chose the photography workshop like minor and all my classmates had their own professional camera but me, and this situation was very difficult for me, until my parents bought me a camera and I felt very happy. Now I try of use this all the time, in travels, special moments, whit my family and the most important is my work tool out and into the career.
       I adore my camera because discover in the photography a new form of expression and it`s very important in the arts visuals, and I think that my life without my camera would be boring and still would be thinking what is my truth vocation.

       When I was a child I wanted to be a ballet dancer and anthropologist, but now I don´t studying this career.
      When I was at high school I  didn't know what study, all my classmate knew what wanted study and it was difficult for me, so the principal teacher sent me to orient conference for choose my future career, and in this moment I thinked that Publicity was the best career for me. When I applying to University, the only option for me was Publicity in USACH, and I studied three years but I wasn't happy here because it was very competitive and commercial career.
      Always I like the arts but I never think that I would finish studying this! When I was studying publicity a friend say me: I think that you should study arts because you are good for this and you aren't happy now. Then I think that he was right, and I maked to decision of changed my career.
       Now my experience in this career has been very good although something personal experience, for example when I was in second academy year, lose a family very close to me and it was very sad.
       In actuality my dreams is work like professional photographer because I love the photography.
