English Language Challenges

Hello classmates and teacher... This is the final blog, a relief for various of us!

In this chance we have to write about our experience with the English as subject in class and in life... Well, in first I must say, that I don't like very much the English... When I was in the school I loved it, but now is a little boring for me... I think as all, is a very useful tool for many things, and is like a requirement in very much fields, as for example, work opportunities, studies, texts, get information of a particular topic, etc.

I don't like very much the schedule, but is the more practical for me, talking about the options that we had. In the case of the blogspot's  work, it was nice... In this level was more free the election of the topics so it was more entertainment. I think is relaxing write in English, because you have the chance of "think in English", you can do it with more time to search to vocabulary and other things.

In the English courses of the university I don't learned the language as I would, but this used for remember the contents that I learned in the school and for practice the conversation in English, to be a little more sure in the thing that I know.

At the present, in my daily life I don't use very much the language, I think... Maybe when I watch movies, or listen music... Or when I have to read something in English... But that don't happened very much! hahaha

 

Well... dears... I hope you have a nice week...

 

See you in the next class!

Improvisation for sings

In Chile there are two popular bands of music who experiment with Rhythm for Sings (or two more well-know) Who they are? what is the Rhythm for Sings? That we want to see here briefly...

La Molestar Orquesta and Avalancha are two musical assemble who compose in real time with a language of sings, composed for a lot of differents sings with body, hands and fingers.

As the case of Avalancha this is a essamble of percussion, they are ten musicians and born on 2012.In Avachancha we listen the rhythms of the bass drumm, drumms, bongo,djembe, etc. In this video you can see in spanish a little of the functioning of their work:

La Molestar Orquesta born on 2008, when Antonio San Martín (the director of the orchestra and Avalancha too) study in Argentina Improvisation for sings, and after  came to Chile and convened musicians to make this project. In La Molestar the use of browstrings, the winds, percussions and voices make this espectacular mixture of sounds with the direction of San Martín:

They are constantly making workshop and concerts of improvisation for sings in Santiago... In Galpón Victor Jara and other places... In don't know the case of the rest of the country but, I read that they made a workshop in the branch of Balmaceda Arte Joven in Concepción...

See you in the next class on the hottest wednesday afternoon

Have a nice weekend... Get fun and high!

Good Bye.

This is ending...

This year went a year full of emotions, learning process, decisions and maturing. Yes, I know, very cliché.

 

Talking about the good things I can sayd that I discover a new language for me and I make use of this on daily... This years I learned play guitar and now I'm in process to buy a keyboard and take classes with a friend who is musician of the Umce. I'm trying to learn too violin but, is very frustrating, and I avoid it because is very very difficult! For that reason I don't have learned nothing until...

 

For other way I'm in classes of vocal technique since one month, with an excellent and lovely teacher.

 

If you ask me for complicated situations... I think I would sayd that the music win to the visual arts... So in the university the things are not very well... I think in one moment on study anthropology, but I'm not very sure that is my real vocation... So I don't know... I'm trying to take the things with tranquility for now.

 

In the case of my achievements, the things that are in process and my proyects, they are very bound with the I mention in first. Find a language in that you feel comfortable, happy and calm is indescribable... And the only that you want is continue working on this.

 

And finaly... I think I dont't have nothing more to highlight for now, this is only learn and check... attempt and mistake... proyects and dreams...

 

I don't know... I hope that this weeks happend very fast!! I don't have nothing more to say...

 

See you soon.

Cheap Digressions

The human been is in constantly change...Is something difficult to accept for some of us... That's my case. Ortega y Gasset said that we always look for our well-being, and that is what different us from the rest of the animals. The needs changes depending of the culture, age, geographic ubication, etc.

 

The needs and proyections in life (for someones what we are) changes depending of your psychological state, and the last thing is obviosly vinculated with your circunstances. If your reality is not according to with your expectations constantly we have a very big problem in many cases. If you don't know how deal with it, you can be paralized for a long time...

 

Noboby teach you to understand and accept the cycles of life, nobody teach you to incorporate it into yourself and live in peace with them, neither enjoy it. The society is constantly judging and you are doing almost  the same thing... I really don't know if I have a point, I really don't know if this would be valid for me when I arrive to my home, and is probably that this maybe be just... words and cheap digressions.

 

I would be how that people that are like just one line in all theirs lifes in sometimes... Maybe this would be booring, make just one kind of things in all life, but looks peaceable... I don't know, this are just prejudices.

 

This topic is infinite... But I have to finish my blog, there's a little time to do it and change of mind.

 

See you later!

Last Times in University

Well... Today we are free to talk about of anything of we want... Well, today I'm not feel very creative and I feel very sleepy... So I will talk a little about of a common topic in my generation classmates and me... This is the last semester for the almost of us, the last semester of our career. Is a complex point for much of us... Principally because we don't feel qualified to get out to the professional world and we feel that it would be very difficult, one of these reasons is because the art in  Chile, as all we now, is very devaluated.

In personal I get in the career very lost in my horizon, the only thing I knew it was I want to be an artist and make use of my plastic abilities. After that I start to understand that and believe in the value of the art work and I was trying all the time to improve for use this lenguaje to report the things I hate.

Now as much of we, I feel very desmotivated. I don't believe very much in the things I would do with this tools... And in many times I feel I want to do other things... I feel myself incomplete, and I want study another career after finish Visual Arts. Through the art and all the crisis I find the Anthropology, and it is good. I'm calm.

 

I don't know... It is life... Do you had have many convictions if you want be an artist in our country, and I admire to the people who want make changes from the Visual Arts. They have to stand up continuosly because they don't have the support...

Three

I think I don't care visit another country in especific for now :)

I really would like know Latin America... Go over around it... That's would be something wonderfull, (just think in the idea makes me happy... hahaha) I don't think in borders... Only know, register, live, see, feel, be in contact with the others and acordingly with me.

In many times I feel my self like an stupid urban girl, frankly... Being honest... Almost of us we are... I don't want to be that girl, I want build society, and understand as truly the thing work, I want know that anonymous characters present in the territory.

Ideally this travel would last one year, as minimum. In this period I would work in whatever I would work in practic terms for survive. But, the principal idea I would be work with people, with the ground... with my self. Like always my dreams are dispersed and this are growing until.

I would forget what I'm (or try it) and join me with the simple things, the things what we forget, with our roots, and try to understand and reproduce it.

The Perfect Job

Hello friends!

Today I will write about the job I would love have in the future.

My ideal job it would be in a big place full of music and art, with all kind of persons who would come to enjoy dancing, singing, eating, listening, watching and doing whatever they want to do. In this place the people would come to teach and learn about arts and life.

For create and work here, the principal thing that you have to do is want it, and do everything for make it true :) is a little cliché but there's no other way.

I think for now, this is a ideal job for me because, I love stay with other people and grow up with them, and if this include music and arts it would be fantastic... In sometimes I considered the possibility of be teacher, but I don't like very much the idea of the classroom and the traditional education... In this place, in exchange, people of all ages would come, they mix and learn between them.

Is very idylic, for this is very difficult, but who knows!

First Semester of 2013

In this period I learned important things to me... As always said in the past... I never learned to ride in bycicle when I was a child... And in the last semester I learned to do it hahaha Thanks that, now I don't need take the transport system every time (in short distances, for now) and I arrive in less time to different places than walking.

I learned  to play guitar too... And I still learning: I study almost all days, and now I'm learning to do guitar arpeggios. The music is very important to me, and this is beginning of the discovery of a amazing world.

In the educational case I learned new tecnics of engraving like etched engraving and aquatint... This was really fun and interesting, reason because this semester I will continue learning about engraving, especifically color engraving. The last semester I came back to painting too, and I still working on this... The painting is a big challenge for me.

In my personal life, I've tried  to be very close to my family and the people that I love, and be focused in order my life hahaha true.

I hope see you soon :)
