Hi everyone, today I'am going to tell you about all the changes I would make to the plastic arts career, this subject could be extended, because I can think of many changes to make.

Let's start with what en my opinion is less relevant, but in the same way we have to make several changes, with this I mean the infrastructure. The workshops are in very poor condition, they are icy (or extremely hot in summer), there are always leaks and floods and the machines are not safe, thar is what seems to me most urgent, there are many disciplines that need to use tools and machines dangerous, and there are not safety measures.

For me it is essential thar the career is extended, I considerer that it is very short time to reach to learn everything we need to know, both technical and theorical. In addition, over time we are in strike becomes even shorter. I believe that the career of Theory and History of Art and Plastic Art should be united, we have to learn from each other and for this it takes time, because for example, the work in the ceramic workshop to wich I belong takes many hours.

But the big problem if this university are its professors (some clearly) who are many years in their positions or have more of a job and do not gime them the time to dedicate to teaching seriously. Many teachers are here because they have passed over other people, not because of their merits as artist. What displeases me most is the enviroment of competitiveness and envy that is created here.

This would be all for today. Bye!

Hello everyone! In today's blog I will write about my next summer vacation, wich all already close.

Actually my holidays will not be a real vacation, because I will go to work for three months to Caleta Tortel, a small town in the region of Aysén, located in the south of Chile and belonging to the so called "Southern Highway".

The most distinctive of this place is that it has no streets for vehicles, only wooden walkways where pedestrians cross. 

I will work in a small hostal belonging to an older lady named Silvia, so she needs young people to help her.     

My job will be to server the dining tables of the place and keep the dining room organized, which is a very good job, because besides receiving the daily salary that Mrs. Silvia will give me, I will also earn tips from the people I server.

In the first moment went alone, but now also a friend named Barbara to work at the same residential and that makes me very happy, it will be a nice experience with her and it will be good not to be among pure strangers.

I will work from January 14 until the end of March there and my idea is after that I go to travel around  until April 10, that I have my plane ticket to return, the only bad thing is that I will have to go alone because my friend returns first to Santiago. 

I hope it is a good experience, I am anxious!

Hi again, everyone!!

Well, today I will tell you about one of my favorite photos, wich is a picture of my childhood that I keep with a lot of affection.

The main reason why I chose this photo share is because I go out with my dad and the way I hug him, it shows that there is a strong connection between us.

The photo was taken by my mom many years ago, I must have been four years old approximately and we were in a lake, Lake Lanalhue, on the boat of some friends of my parents, where we went most of the summer vacations, since ther have a house in that place and they always invited us.

I have very goos memories of those summers on the lake, because there were children my age with whom to have fun and do antics, and also spent a lot of tim swimming whit my dad, who taught me how to swim.

All the photos of childhood are very special for me, it's like being seeing someone other than us, a stranger and throught the photographs we connect with our past self. I love old photos!


Well, that would be all for today, I hope to see your photos too.

Bye!

Hello everyone!

Well, today again I have to write about something complicated, te future, 220 word on totally imaginary facts. Specifically about my postgraduate studies, studies that will complement my undergraduate studie.


Honestly I have not thought to do a postgraduate course itself. What I have in mind after this year hopefully finish the career of Plastic Arts (if I can pass my course of english) is studying pedagogy Arts, it right here at Juan Gómez Milla campus of University of Chile.
Pedagogy has a short duration, only a year and a half and is mostly practice in classrooms; with this I hope to learn to pass my knowledge, it is very important to me.


I am totally convinced that we never stop learning, especially if we are talking about a craft and that's what I really want to continue studying, improving my knowledge of pottery and textile art, wich by being ancestral knowledge are truly infinite.
Perfecting my technique and learning from other teachers.


In the near future I want to go to study in Argentina, a ceramist school, I was very excited to go live in another country and interact with other cultures. And I hope to do the same in different countries, exchange knowledge bringing me to work in other workshops. And have a workshop here where people who know too can come to learn.

Bye!
