POST 1 : A country I would like to visit.

 


Hello everyone, today I’m going to talk about a country that I want to visit in the future: Ireland.  

The truth is I don´t know much about this country, but it always seemed to me a place green, interested, and magical, especially magical; and I like it because I have heard about the legends in this place, or about the heroes like Diarmuid, or I have seen photos on internet and the landscapes are beautiful. My prefer thing are the heroes and the landscape, but that´s topic about other post.


Diarmuid and Grainne, leyend. 

Anyway, I don´t know a lot, so I prefer to visit this country only like a tourist first, and maybe in the future live here for three or two years. I need investigated more today, because in the past, when I was an adolescent, I investigated about Ireland, but I forgot all.

When I know more, I can share all my progress about this with you, if you want, and you can help me to decide if I should live in Ireland or not.

 




Regards <3

Google Arts and Culture




 This page is great to search for different paintings or artists and see the paintings in detail. If you´re an artist or you´re interesting in the arts, in general, you can use and enjoy this website.

Google arts is an extension of google related to the arts (obviously). If you want to know more about artistic techniques, important characters, places, artistic movements, color, or a museum in 360° you can use the section “explorer” and navigate until you find something you like or catch your eye.

It also has games to play alone or with friends. Games like, how much you know about x topic, or where is x character, play with music or do test, too. I don't use a lot of this section, but it looks funny.

Oh, this website has a map where you can search the museums closer to you to do a visit.

All this is great, yeah, sounds exciting, but my favorite section is “favorites” because with this, I can save all the themes, paintings, and characters what I want to watch later. It´s cool because I can zoom the image until I see the brushstroke of the artist and, thanks to that, I can study to replicate the way in which the artist made his artworks. This is the reason why I like it.

Unfortunately, I just visit this page 2 or 3 times in one month, but I recommend it anyway. Maybe someone can take advantage of google arts better than me.

A R T


I’m interested in art since I was a little kid. When I was 6 years old, I painted a lot with my color’s pencils and my gouaches, all the time I wanted paint on my block or do something artistic. I never stopped painting, but I thought was better if I don´t study arts because I didn´t like to study history of arts, and my cousin told me “You need study a lot of history to do a great artist”.

In any case, is for the practice that I’m good at observing and copying what I see to paint it. I think that’s my best artistic abilities because I can “translate” what I see to do a painting very similar and I love do this. 

I like paint in oil, watercolor or gouaches, the artists landscapes and their themes in their paintings seems beautiful for me. I like the “bodegones” too, but I’m not sure why I like it. With this type of art, I feel something special, you know? Like a connection what I can’t express in words. Is the type of art what I enjoy more. And my favorite artist or painter is Leonardo da Vinci for what he represents and his genius in the arts. Maybe, I love his character more that his paintings because we don´t know all about him and his personality and his paintings aren’t really “wow” neither for me, but something about he is special, the same way what the paint itself.

Baby, baby, baby.

 

Hello again. It´s my ice cream/cat, Irú, when it was a little baby. My dad took this photo with him cellphone 5 years ago. I know, this isn’t the most beautiful and important photo of the world, but I love how my cat looks so pretty, small and tender on top of sofa while it´s sleeping.

Irú was always a curios and hyperactive cat, it usually goes for the house looking for something to play with it, so, when it was still and relaxed, we needed to take a photo to remember that moment, and, please, it´s very nice! We needed capturer that.

Today Irú is nice still, but when it was a baby…I can´t explain with words, but, sometimes I wish that my cat go back to be more small and delicate, then, I’ll put it in my hands and rock or snuggle without problems. I like this photo because I remember that moments with nostalgic and a lot of love.

My baby. <3

My favorite thing of the world

 All the time I have my favorite technological device with me: my headphones. I got it when I was 19 years old, but before of that I had the same headphones because it’s a good product. I use It from 2019 and still work fine. I recommend this brand, “sonny” of blue color; if you decide to buy this, tell me in the comments!

So, I use my headphones all the time, all day to listen to music, YouTube, or audios of WhatsApp. It’s necessary, because I love to listen to music; if I don´t listen to music, I feel bad, boring, and depressed. I can put them, yes, but only when I should pay attention on something or someone. Maybe, it´s an addiction, but listen to music help me to imagine more things and make me feel more emotions. My headphones are like a refuge, too, because with them I can be more relaxed when I´m in a place with a lot of unknown people. 

I guess my life without my headphones would be sad, and more complicated.

ME, PROFESSIONALLY

 

I´m an art student at university of Chile and i´m doing my third year; I said that in my previous post, but Why I decided study that? This´s the question.

When I was a child, I didn’t have one dream job, never. I didn´t have one inspiration for my life like go to the moon or something “Wow”, maybe eat ice cream all day, but I didn´t want to have health problems; so, I wanted to study arts too, but my cousin said, “you can do that, but you need read I learn much about history” and in that moment I didn´t like study a lot. So, I ignorer my preferences and preferred to look another career. I wanted to be a veterinary, psychology, study philosophy or literature, maybe be a teacher of language at university, but I never had something what I loved more than painting.

I had many doubts, but my mom inscribed me at Liceo Experimental Artístico LEA Barroso when I was a student of “media” and I started to go to paint all the day. That was really amazing! There I learned how paint in oil, watercolor, “estracto de nogal” and “temperas”. Today I don´t regret to go at the academy, finally that´s why I study arts this year; the teacher of art at Liceo, my friends and all the experience gave me courage to decide!

The terrible was the Covid-19 for two years, I lost two years of university because nobody can go out! Yes, we can study in our house, we made that, but isn´t the same what study in person. Fortunately, this year we can go out to the “sede”, but…I miss sleep all the morning now. Yes, it´s a contradiction but I was accostumed. The hardest thing has been this; I’m so bad to stand up earlier, I hate that with all my soul.

I would like stand up more later, but I really love my career. I can paint in oil a lot, can I listen to the art all day and all is like…magical. I don´t like to do test but the art´s test aren´t so bad, maybe.

Any case, I would like to be a good illustrator and painter in the future. Give me your good vibes (?)

 

Bye bye <3
