BLOG 5: Changes to my study programme.

 

I study Visual arts at University of Chile, I’m doing my third year and I believe that my career has a lot of classes borings what they aren't necessary. We have “Seminary” for example, and I hate this class because We need get up early and the content isn’t very interesting or important in my opinion, al most not to my process and my artwork. Well, we can debate about their importance, but I think that matters, like “seminary” or “methodology” just they only steal our time and energy to have more time in our central workshops and do practical things and produce works, and I don´t like that either.

Well, that’s just my opinion, but at the same time I think what we have just for years to study, and I don´t know, maybe if we don´t have that matters, we would be less stress and we could enjoy more our artistic process. In addition, the infrastructure isn’t the best, but I´m not sure if it´s the worst. Is more like that…is basic and very rustic, without technologies or things like that, no, we faculty just have computers with some edition’s programs and... that´s all.

But at lest we teachers are friendly, comprehensive and they try to do the best to teach us the best way, just correcting us, recommending artistic movements, artists or all kind of things to improve our art. All that things make my career the best, at least for me. I love the environment in out campus, because is cute, comfortable and all the people here is gentle, so, I recommend that about visual arts.

POST 4: Time travel to the past or future.

If I could travel in time, I would like to see my future, not to the past because my past was complicate, and I won´t like to do or say something what could change my present, even if that was something good for the Catalina of this days. I would like to travel to the future because I feel emotion when I think about It. Why? Well, because the future is something unpredictable, full of possibilities and hopeful for me. 

I would like to see how I am in three or five years more. I know what in that years I will be a graduate of visual arts, but, what about my work? Or my friendships or my romantic life? I will live alone on my own department? Or not? I will have more cats? 

All these possibilities make me feel excited, and I could stay to live in that future if all the things are like how I want, I don’t care if I don´t have my own department or I don´t have my dream job (be an illustrator) if I can feel peace be in that reality, that´s enough for me. 

Now, if isn’t something good, I won´t stay there, obviously. I just want to travel and stay in the future if I can skip all the university process. Yeah, my university process is good, yeah, I can learn about a lot of kinds of things but is stressful and I can´t draw things that I want because I need to do one project about one matter that I don´t care and ugh, yeah, stressful.

But if my future is bad or something that I don´t like, I would like return of my present to try of change that. I don´t change my past because I think is important accepted me how I am, but the future is other thing, after all, that future isn´t today.
