CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

Image
Today I'm going to talk about the changes my study programme. It's a very interesting topic because as a Plastic Arts student the normal thing to do is to make our projects in workshops and have our theoric clases in big halls for everyone to attend. But now all those places are closed due to the quarantine to prevent anyone get sick. My main subject, Central Workshop of Contemporary Jewerlery, which is the specialiation you choose from the carreer to graduate, has been the most affected, because we used to work with very specific materials, as metal, wood, glazes,and a variety of tools and machinery present exclusively in the workspace as kilns and rotor motors we have at the university facility so for example, this year we had a technic module to learn metal embossing, using an specific toolset and a big professional blowtorch to heat tar and everything up and also an internship in the University of Chile Anatomic Insitute to later make an special art project alluding the bod...

"New" Leisure Activities During Pandemic

I'm going to talk about a thing that I've been doing during this quarantine time and that is...  WRITING!  three already filled up and a fourth one ongoing Yeah, I have filled so far three notebooks with personal feelings, thoughts and little drawings and doodles.

ANIMAL FRIEND

I haven't really had many pets in my life. I was raised without them at home and if I ever had I never took pictures of them. Animals have not been very present in my personal life.

I can't really say exactly how many animals I have made friends with, so I will only mention those that I remember most closely. Some of my furry friends came to me by pure chance. I saw them on the street or when I moved to a new house they already lived there and I played with them every day. I remember my dear dog Mia, who lived with us until I left home in Punta Arenas and came to Santiago to study at the university. I think it is important to know how to bond with animals because they teach us another way of communicating, they have their own mood and personality and you could say that they are almost pure love and sharing.
