The last post.-

Hello! I hope that you are having a good week. This is the last post, it's kind of weird I have to say, because I really enjoy the English class. Well, this week we have to write about the English language. 
I think that it's very important to have an english class at the university, because when we go out of it maybe we will go to other countries and as we all know the english is like a universal language! So, we need to learn it. Otherwise I think that this is important because we need to learn some technical language for explain our works and that stuffs. At school we learned some english but it is not enough to talk with other people, and I think that it is very basic so maybe if we have to explain something related with our area it might be complicated.
About the using of blog, I think that it is very helpful because we are not use to write in english beside the tests or maybe when we do some homework or class work, so the blog it's an important tool for learn english.
I have to improve my english because I have some pronunciation problems and I would like to have more vocabulary because it would help me to speak fluidly and would I really like to travel around the world with my work. My plan to improve it is go to some country where they speak english, so I would be forced to learn it, or maybe take some english class in some institute or something like that.
I use the english almost every day, maybe not speaking with somebody but I read news or articles and the music that I listen it's in english mainly. Sometimes I try to speak by myself to practice. And this year I have to talk a lot in english because I went to Europe, so I was forced to do it!
That's it :) 
Cheers!

My future job.-

Hello! In this post today I'm going to talk about my future and what job I would like to have.
At university I'm doing a major in painting. Since I've decided to study art I knew that I would like to take a major in painting, because that was the main reason to began my studies in art. When I was a teenager I started to have interest in art based in my knowledge of painters, so painting was the first thing that attracted to me into the art world.
I would like to work in some art collective, with people that might have common interest. And I would like to do some kind of art that every kind of people can related to it. Trying to take the art out of the museums and make it accessible to the people that maybe are not use to see art in their daily life.
There are some aspects that you should consider when you choose a job, I think that you should have to work in something that you like, because if you don't like your job it's probably that you make it in a bad way, I mean with bad humor or just make it bad, because you don't like it. So I think that you always have to make something that you like it, you make it with a good mood and that's when you have fun doing it. 
To work in this kind of job I have to say that I'm good sharing with other people when I have confidence in what I'm doing, I respect others opinions and points of views and I think that I'm very committed when I like something. Otherwise my weaknesses are that I'm kind of shy so maybe I would have some difficult to talk with people that I'm not use to talk every day, and I have to say that I'm very unpunctual so have a job with a very strict schedule it would be difficult!!!
That's it!
Cheers!

Ch.ACO.

Last September, here in Santiago,Chile, was the inauguration of Chile Contemporary Art Fair (Ch.ACO) at the Estación Mapocho.
Artists of the Chilean art scene, and some foreign artists, inaugurated the forth annual version of this fair on September 27.
In the fair you could find pieces of art that were part of different galleries, there were like 30 galleries that represented 11 different countries. There were a lot of art works, and in some galleries stand you could find some artists that were exhibited their pieces of art.
The fair director said that at this point the event was so massive, and that was a very important thing. Also he said that they were expect that more than 50,000 people were to visit the fair over the five days that this fair last.
This fair shows a lot of Chilean art, but the international presence was major than the other years. 

This year I went to the Chilean Contemporary Art Fair and it was fun, there were a lot of good art works. There were some famous paintings and works, and in some cases you could see the artist itself.
So, I hope you had enjoy it! And maybe you would cheer up to go the next year!

Recycling.-

Hello there! I hope you're having a nice week! Today I'm going to write about recycling! Here in Chile, there are not many places where you can learn about this habit, here it is not very common the recycling culture. I think that you can learn it at school in some class or in a extracurricular class, or maybe in your neighbourhood if you had a committee or something like that.I have to say that in my family and neighbourhood the recycling it's not an habit, we don't have the necessaries elements for this, like specials rubbish dumps and the car that take the rubbish put everything  together, so I have to say that I'm not so much into the recycling. But I think that recycling it's very good and positive for the environment.I use the public transport when I have to go somewhere, I don't have a bike, so I use the public transport or walk when it's near. If I had a bike probably I will go to a lot of places in it, but it gives me a little bit scare.I haven't joined to support any eco-organisation, because I'm not really informed about this practices, so I can join to something that I'm not informed.I would like to be more informed and participated in this activities, also I would like to live in a good neighbourhood so I can use the bike to go everywhere, maybe live in a small town . Santiago is too big so you can't go anywhere in bike.I think that here in Chile there are a lack of information about this topic, about the recycling culture in general. I would like to here the people were able to learn more about it, and the authorities make an effort to improve the education in every sense, and educated people instead of deprive of it.So, I hope you're ok. 
Cheers!

Graham Coxon ♥.-

Hello there! Today I'm going to write about music, particularly about my favorite songwriter Graham Coxon. 
 Graham Coxon was well known because he was the guitarist of the nineties Brit pop band Blur, he played with blur until 2001 when they where recording "Think Tank", their last album together. Graham left the band at the middle of the recording, because he had some troubles with the band members, so he collaborated in a few songs. But was in 1998 when he started his solo career, supported by the members of the band. The style of his music is like indie rock o something alternative, I really don't know how to describe it, but I think it could be something like that.
Why do I like his music? Because it transmit me a lot of sensations. Also I really like the way that he play the guitar, and the unique sound that he gives to his music. The lyrics are very simple, but I think that this transmit a lot, because I can identify me with his songs.
I listen his music every day in every place. If I'm sad I hear it, if I'm happy I do it too, it's that kind of music that you can listen in every moment of your life. Because he has a lot of songs with different topics and his songs represent different states of his life, so he write about most of feelings. 
When I listen his music I feel very good, it's relaxing, I like it a lot. Sometimes it makes me happy when I'm sad, it is very important to me. 
That's it!
Cheers!

Why did I choose study art?.-

Hello, I hope you are having a great week! So today I'm going to talk about why did I choose study art? Since I was a little girl I know that I want to study something humanist, and particularly  related with the arts, like theater, dance or something like that!
When did I made this decision? What did it inspire me to study art?  When I was like thirteen or fourteen,  I decided to studied art. At that time I was listening a lot of music, and discovering what thinks I like in every level of my life, and one of my favorites musicians was a painter, so I started to pay attention to the art itself and started to research information about art and the artists that I like, what kind of art they did, and important stuffs about their works.
I really think that I made the right choice, because I'm very happy studying art I believe that I born to make things related with this area, I don't see myself studying others careers.
I'm not sure about my future, I really don't know what I'm going to do when I graduated. I hope to be painting or doing works, and selling my work or something like that. 
That it's!
Cheers!

My best holiday.-

Hello! I hope you're fine! Today I'm going to write about my best holiday. My best holiday was in January 2011 when I went to Salto del Laja. 
It was my best holiday, because I went with my mother, her aunt and her family, and my cousin with his wife. I really like be in family, it is fun. Also, the place that we were staying in it was so beautiful! There were a lot of trees, a river, a pool, you could see a small waterfall and there were only three houses in the whole place. There were animals too, like dogs, cows and cats, I played a lot with the cats I really like them. 
At night was much beautiful than day, because I could see so many stars, just like Santiago... I'm kidding. It was really great, I really like to see the stars I'm a huge fan of this. Every night we go outside the house to see the stars, sometimes it was a little creepy because the places was so dark and you could see nothing but the shadows of the trees, and you could hear many noises from different things. 
I really like that almost every night we go out and my uncle make fire and we sat around the table and played cards or maybe someone told a story, but it always ended with a horror story and we went a little bit scared to bed.
When we were there, we travelled to other places like Los Ángeles, I remember that day because it was so heat! And we were just hanging around doing nothing but buying things for the house, like food and stuffs. Otherwise, we went to see the Salto del Laja, it is like a big waterfall and it is very pretty. 

 

This is my mom and I having fun at the holidays.

I hope that you had enjoy my post!

Cheers!
