ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

I think very well that we have English like a subject in the University, as independent use or not, always it´s good learn knowledge new and now the word is with de information so expanded, the mobility it´s easier, for this reason manage English language ever more necessary.

Here it´s a problem  (that is not own of English, happened with other subject too) , in the different  levels , the kind of teacher differ a lot, in one semester you can have someone very strict and tedious , other that pass a lot  material, other very entertaining, with other do not learn any. Then happened that when you advanced to the next level, we, the student have basis very different and that difficult the process. I think that use to blogs it´s good for practice the writing, that it´s the more lay aside to the moment to learn English, but I think that you learn with one another to speak and communicate, generate conversations.

My part weaker in English is the grammar, I have the basis very poor in this aspect, I like review some books and go bit by bit for having more practice. I have to say that each post to make a little easier.

Outside to University, when listen music or when I watch TV series, I try to do not put subtitle for to make understand what I listen and I think that grasp rather. Also I borrow a book from the library about contemporary art, this book it´s only in English (It so many good book of art that are not translated) for help me  with the grammar and can extend my vocabulary.  I hope these producing results… 

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

I think this is a big topic, because I found it have many weaknesses the program than we have, I intend to focus…Here in art the curriculum it´s not as good, beside it has been in a constant change. There are many subjects than not is sufficiently focused, other use much time and not do much and many missing. We could have more optional courses, there are many areas to learning that we do not see, one artist must learn as much information and skill as possible for consolidate their learning, at the workshop level as well as theoretical level.

On the other hand we have the teachers, we have to all kinds, ones very good and exigent (which are the less), other have a lot of reputation to “artistic” level, but like a teacher…there is boring teachers without motivation, those who do not like share their knowledge and those who do not do so much or didn´t con from and  their assistants do the classes, it´s very important have a teacher with loves for educate and their be able to teach good, but this is a long way...

Also I think we are so alone, all art faculty is fragmented this as cause that the different fields of art  are not mixed and that it´s very important for gain knowledge, it was perfect if we could be all together and not separately to theater, music and dance  and to be able choose  freely subject to this areas.

This is the faculty than less resources receive to all University, I know that not generate resources but  they may worry on improving little by little some stuff and put better implementation and rather than leave so dispose.  Anyways the faculty needs to organize themselves and do more activities and be participatory than born from here want to improve.

SUMMER HOLIDAYS

It´s very easy, my boyfriend and I, we want to go to Isla Mocha, we go a few years ago and  it´s was awesome, we went with none expectation and it was a great trip!

We like to go in december and this way disappeared for all to a three moth, we want be very  far to Santiago and what better than an island. We will go to bus to Tirua and cross by boat (it´s delay  about 5 hours to cross), Isla Mocha is a small Chilean island located west of the coast of Arauco province in the Pasific Ocean. It´s a National Reserve.  we going to the west side  to island, on the back to continent, there we left the other time and we like visit to a family who provide floor for put our carp, come to this place this year can be great, have the possibility to do all the activity to island offer. We  can fish, work the land, explore the forest …In December start to the recollection of Luga, this is a brown algae, the laboratories used from cosmetics, creams, etc. the people of the island gathering on the border to the  beach, later is dry, it´s weight and sell like a $700 the kilogramme, this is imported to Europe. In this place used predominantly in cosmetics to many brand, later it´s como to our contry converted in cosmetics very expensive (classic to Chile). W e hope such as the other time remove Luga, it´s very interesting y educational be participate do traditional activities to the places where we go… the other time make money with that, we did $27.000 in one week, two hour by day.

This place have three store, all they to the other side to the island, for come there  the people can border  the beach or cross the forest, this delay 1 hour and 30 minutes one-way nad return the same, this is by day because at the night it´s very difficult  not be mistaken on the way, no light and  it many streams.

The best to this place it was the calm and peace, here live very few people it´s very difficult found much people gathered, the island have a abandoned lighthouse, one can up there, lunch there, enjoy, lower and walk for the beach  and the quiet and peaceful follow prevail in a place.

BEST CHILDHOOD ANECDOTE

When I was little my big brother and I were all the vacations in Rancagua with my grandmother and my cousins, we were 8 cousins in all with ages very alike, for summer vacations we goes one month to San Antonio to a house as my grandfather, from there we going to all beach to coast, our favorite beach it was Algarrobo, because it was a long trip where we would for much beach to be between, the trip lasted about 1 hour. We were the days than sun shining very much, we left early in the morning, like 9:30 and lunch there chicken with fries!!!

One on my favorites childhood anecdote it was in one of this trip, I was 11 years, we carry on sunblock stick called rayfilter, it was to many colors, we painted own faces and body’s with lines  and goes all day this way, this day we bathe since  to 14:00  as far as 19:00 nonstop, thus,  our faces and bodies with the sunblock left the marks, that at the time, the marks were a roast intense red, latter we had a football games on the beach.

Being already to 9 pm, we left to take a bus, we were 12 people in all, we take a bus and like always it was full, we are filled to bags. Strangely, much people exit from the bus in the next beach and all the cousins we sat down, like never before can do, we sit back, the music go to a high volume, my oldest cousin sang the music to song on the radio and we follow him, we had good audience because to finish they clapped, On long journey we going to sing, other people joined to sing, I remember laughing very much. When the people left the bus said their goodbyes, like a friends, when arrived to our destiny also say goodbyes to the passengers and the bus driver say us than hope have another trip together.

Finally turn in a friendly trip, to come all very tired to the beach, comes to sing and go happy to rest to our homes.

POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

I´ve always thought that art must be a contribution for society, not only confine to be contemplative and look pretty in the gallery, from the point the art open the door to street with murals and interventions, opened this way to the common world, in addition it´s important that use in other areas wherein it can be very  helpful.

Is the case to Art Therapy, I will like study here in Chile (this is a postgraduate that do in here, the same faculty) it have a duration two year and it´s about to apply the plastic art as a means to recover and improve mental health and social and emotional well-being to the people.

The art like a therapy are distinct from other disciplines because the techniques, materials and artistic process are used with therapeutic fines. This discipline searches to rescue the healing effect to artistic expression. This technique considers that every individual, have or not the artistic education, have latent capacity for project own interns conflicts by means of art.

In England it recognized as a profession supportive present in medical field, educational and social among others.

The form of postgraduate studies in this faculty is in the afternoon, presentially with practical and theoretical classes, wherein the last semester it done a practice and thesis.
Then  I would like to specialize me abroad in some specified area in  Art Therapy, I should particularly like in area to resilience, this would be the capacity that  have a person to enable them to come out of their traumatic experiences and learn to be part of their lives, to be adaptable positively in adverse situations.

I think if one succeeds makes small changes on the lives of people who truly require it in order to carry better their burdens, either by illness, neglect, abuse, old age it´s a grain of sand that bring to this world.

MY FUTURE JOB

I want to be many things, I think each one of us must use to learn as much as possible, this way can contribute little by little in this word.

The short term I will like can specialize in Heritage Conservation and Restoration, although it been very close to art, also connect multiple areas (I really like this) like; arte, sociology, anthropology, archeology, physics, chemistry and biology. This make you look the art work and architectural heritage from a different perspective. Conservation and restoration, it´s a discipline to demanded considerable concentration and great patience. Art conservation is the act of maintaining the quality of an artist’s work. Restoring art is the process of refreshing the art to the original condition, or as close as possible. To tell the difference between the two, it helps to know what conservation and restoration mean. Restoration is the act of restoring; to restore something means to return it or bring it back to an initial state. Conservation is the act of conserving, which is protecting or preventing injury, decay, or loss. There are a different types of restorations, like paper, porcelain, painting, textile, photographs, metal, archeology, etc. and also the way to conserve you have to study some piece, examine the art, document changes, perform minimal treatment, establish methods of preventive care, and establish the causes of deterioration and includes scientific, art history, and artistic aspects.

I want to be an Archeology Restoration, when I was little I imagine unearthing some object to past and writing stories of ancestress cultures.  I will like to study in other country, because here it´s even new, I think I would go to Italy, since it is one of the places where more experience and years of study it have. Plus I really like because have to travel to much as different places, but it´s a very lonely work.

It not a carrier to pay so much, I think it is a work to make for love more than for , money, at least here in Chile, there are not many funds that are delivered for this area. But it doesn´t matter,  to guarantee room and food, it´s Ok, the important is all the richness that you learn and can dedicated to you like, is priceless!

FAVOURITE BOOK/MOVIE/SERIES

It´s very difficult to choose one topic and choose a favorite too…it´s to many but today I will talk about Back to the future I, this movie I saw when I was real little, I laughed a lot, I remember when finish I asked my father if I too could to travel across time and he tell me: When you grow up it be like take a bus! I was totally shocked, I´ve been thinking that travel time it was possible...

From this moment began my pleasure for the science fictions book, be headed for Ray Bradbury. I saw the film when I was six years old, with my bother and my father, this open up new possibilities to plays with my brother relative to travel machine and things like that, McFly it was include in a majority, this movie had any participation in multiple events in my life.

The movie was situated in 1985, it´s about one young boy to 17 years old, called Marty McFly, his have a fried called Emmet Brown “Doc”, who invented a travel machine (this is a car, the “DeLorean”), one inconvenience made to Marty travel incidentally to 1955, by the parent don´t meet yet, after to stop that his parent know for mistake, Marty must make certain his teenage parents to be meet and fall in love, or his existence can´t be possible. However this will be very complicated, where he meets his future parent in high school and accidentally becomes his mother´s romantic interest, (her mum called Lorraine), she fall in love to him, on the other hand his father (he called George McFly) is was very fearful, he, in turn had one opponent called Biff Tannen, who harassed her mother all the time he wish conquer. Marty known a Doc to past, who has not jet to invented travel machine, Marty tell him that did the Doc to 1985 for do the travel machine (flux capacitor) for this way recreated in this time, so he can get back to the future to 1985. Doc say to Marty also that his can´t intervene in the events to this time or the other way he will alter the future, this situation trigger problematic that be the lynchpin during all the trilogy. It be Back to the future I, II and III. I fail to talk in this post about that but it´s very recommended see three movies, I see all the time when I found in the cable, it be in Netflix too.

The time machine originally it was be to refrigerator, but the producers reject this possibility for fear to children entered to refrigerator and imagine being in a travel machine (I have done). Furthermore, they look at a machine to can move. Thus, DeLorean was born.
