my faculty


I'm an student of the Art Faculty of chile university. This faculty at a simple view have a lot of issues in therms of infrastructure. I find that almost looks like a rural school or something. We can make a comparison between our campus fellows right next to us, like cine, social scienes , literature, etc . In that place they had a living center of constant cultural activities and the infrastructure gives a very warm welcome to them. In other hand, here in art there's seem to be a lack of these kind of activities. This is in conecction with the poor enviroment. The library is a shame, but it's sweet because it reminds of my primary school. Long time ago, as is well known by people, the faculty of art was an outstanding place because there was the center of art production and creation of new approchement to the art thoughts. Nowadays, along with the change of the physical place there's been a drop of these prominent side
It's hard to improve this because it a situation that has to deal money, and if there's something missing in here is cash!. Although i find it nice, there's these " little wood" that is all mess up, following the general appearence of the place. Its a good site to just lie, read and chat. In arts we are like in a quiet bubble at first sight. The bureaucratic system works very slowly too( as the computers), you must be patience. But at the end of the day is all worth because of some really good teachers that achieve to make more enthusiasm students.

tourist


Foreing people could visit a lot of differents places in Santiago . An interesting place to go when you are for the first time in Santiago is the area around the bellas artes museum, because it have nice parks and places to hang out. There are lovely coffe shops and restaurants. A few days ago i went with a friend to an ice cream store called Emporio la Rosa, in a quiet and soft enviroment. Besides that, there are the typical historical places or buildings that a foreign person could be interested to know( as La Moneda ). I notice that people always suggets that El cerro Santa Lucía is something that a foreign should visit. It's a nice place but i would like that the government and the citizenship could appreciate more those sites because of them huge historical and cultural value. Some places are just falling apart because of the abandon an lack of compromise to restore, to preserve and protect them. Another area that i like very much, but some people could find it extremely annoying is to visit El Cementerio General. The mainly reason of this is because of the strongly historical component. There's also a lot of meanings and lectures behind a place like that and it makes it beautiful.
The other very typical site to go with a foreing is some "guachaca" bar like "La piojera", were the guy or girl always can leave the place with a wide smile thanks to the magic potions gave there, even if he-she dont like the past city tour and felt out of place :S

transantiago


well, i must start saying that i was a very lucky girl because when the transantiago system began ( exploded!) i dont had to use it very often back then. ( now i'm kind of obligued to). I was more related with the subway( and my bike from time to time), 'cause i also live very near of one. ( but, now that i think more carefully about it, it also affects me a lot !! because the transantiago mess, as all you know, also did a break out on my beloved subway)/ i always had hated the crowded and uncomfortable areas, so this was a little bit sad . All people reduced to objects, tied up to long and exhaustive hours of wait ( that could alienate anyone!).
All the day it was the matter topic of the tv news and a prior subject of conversation. Angry people on the street because they were late. I also remember that people were actually mad at Ivan Zamorano ( that was sort of funny, but i understand it) because he was the visible face of the company, and people always need someone to blame. There were even some slogans that were born on the natural desperation enviroment that you could felt outside - zamorano, transantiago, mataste al . . .( i forget) y al ser humano! - zamorano, transantiago, you killed the . . and the human being ( it doesn't sounds very well translated to english : S ).
Nowadays the troubles with the system seems to be soften by the pass of time. I dont have a clue of what it could be done in order to make the transport a - better place - / and if i start to think about that, i just will make a fatalist point of view like - - all is so rotten, all the structure, the bases ! ahh, tragic.
so goodbye everyone!:D

This is my last post on the blog! And what’s all about? It’s about the most passionate, wonderful, exciting, overflowing, happy, sublime, attractive, cosmic, metaphysician surreal and powerful subject in all over the world . . . It’s about blogging itself!
Since a discovered this mechanism of writing my life had changed for good!
My mind is clear. Both spirit and body are in perfect synchrony with nature an universe.
I don’t feel like an outsider anymore. I’ts been such a turn of the switch. I surprise myself dreaming of the blogging experience.
Oh, now I’m listening velvet underground - pale blue eyes. Aww! , this song reminds me of someone who’s far away – it goes like this. . Sometimes I feel so happy
sometimes I feel so sad
sometimes I feel so happy
but mostly you just make me mad
Baby you just make me mad
Linger on, your pale blue eyeeees
Lalala.

And somehow it reminds me of the whole blogging process too / because, although it has been beautiful (who can dares to deny that?!), there’s had been difficult parts. . A paradoxical love/hate thing (it’s very common, isn’t?).
I’ve learned too much from this. Even the fact that i know that achieve the correct way of writing on english was the main goal I (how it says in other great and lovely velvet underground song) - - > Hey Im beginning to see the light.
I met myself in a dream
and I just wanna tell you - everything was alright
Im beginning to see the light. !

I like to read the things that my other classmates write, but I must say that I especially enjoy reading to Jaime’s blog (or Unjaime, because he’s such a unique person!). He always will have to touch of GOD in terms of speaking and obviously writing. He’s also an amazing illustrator (it’s possible that some people might be surprised by this/ they could not be informed yet of this activity of him – you can see that he’s so humble!)
So because of this and the other stuff that I had mentioned - ->
Im very grateful of the omnipresent BLOG.


Thank you :DD

uhahhe



this is a hard question because i ussually dont like to over think my future, it's a little bit scary, isnt ?. I'm not like these people who are addicted to draw up plans for the near or distant future or these kind of ladies obssesed with tarot reading ( i saw one case in national television a few time ago and it calls my attention. She meet a tarotist everyweek to predict her future and to make her sure about what she tolds her, she went to other tarot reader to confirm or to prove what the other one said. If the last lecture match with the first, she could feel very relaxed and sure about her life // Although that state would survive until next week!).
In my case, i would love to live my life with the - carpe diem - philosophy, even if it's kind of impossible, because in the daily living we are all the time approaching or wondering how it will come out the next minute. Its part of human nature maybe.
In the next five years, i can talk about how i would like to be in my near future ( five years past so quickly!!).
Well, i would like to had finished this career, had a decent work, being finally least selfish,etc.
I think an important thing to do in order to be happy or satisfied with yourself // and dont being messing around !// is to achieve some childhood dream, i thought about that in the past days. I think it can be kind of miraculous in your life.
So, i would really love to do something related with that in the next five years.( or it's a bad idea . . dreams or desires maybe were created to never be accomplish. To remain in state of ilussion)
what do you think readers?

i found the talk very interesting and encouraging because i share some of the points that Sir Ken Robison tells to the audience. He seems like a creativity expert that unfould the way we educate in our schools.
the formal education is focused on topics( for example, we shoul treat with the same status the classes of math and the classes of art) that make a distance between us and our potential creativity, because we are too afraid of made a mistake, but . . .the worst mistake anyone can make is being to afraid to make one! ( that goes for me huh)
So he propuses a new way of learning in the school system, in order to find a more effective estructure to cultivate creativity thoughts instead of pull them off.
Ken robinson says that we don’t grow into creativity, we grow out of it, or rather we get educated out of it.
The intelligence is very diverse and dynamic, 'cause we think about the world in all the ways we experience it. We think visually, we think in sound, in movment or in abstract terms.
We must began to thing different and also have in mind the multiple types of intelligence.

fav subject


My favourite subjet of this semester is cine. It’s very interesting and I enjoy watching movies and instead of just pass by the details, I can have the tools to analyze them.
The teacher that give us the classes is Miguel Ángel Vidaurre , he’s a cool teacher and you can notice that he loves what he does. I like the fact that he’s also a filmmaker, instead of just had a “theory way” of thinking.
The central topic of the classes is based on a specific process of doing movies, something that he’s investigating and developing right now, called the “ominous thing” or sinister. One very clear example to clarify this term are the David Lynch’s movies.
Already you know that its not the traditional way of embrace movies. Mostly of people like mainstream cinema because it’s based on the argument and the plot, not in the image (the image in the developing of movies in the case of this subject is the most important). So, the ominous things it can be translate into the game of the elements that aren’t necessarily compelled to the argument. The mainly thing is to can play with stuff like the sound and colours in order to create an strange environment, that instead of produce and repose mood (like most of the mainstream cinema do, because the argument had explications to the mysteries, in the sinister opposite of it, the mysteries remains ) the give the spectators nerves, because the story its cant be closed at all.
