Finally this post. Sincerely, this blog surprise to me. I was not thinking can write in english, but this work force me to do it. Was a good experience, something posts very funniest and the class wasnt a big academic weight. This is very important, because is the principal reason of dropping out on English class. 
A lot of studentes leave this class because is very boring (with other teachers) or the works are complicated.  The attendance is other element on this class. Its very difficult come to the class all the fridays for all afternoon, specially for the temptation of this week day.
The best is writing about things of art. Read and comment to other people in the class and know new references of artists and different kinds of see orders of the class. 
For the next generation it would be good less assessments or evaluations or end of semester more relax, because in this we have very responsabilities and havent time for study english. 
On conclusion, this class it served to me for believe this: if you want, you can.  Apart, now i can understand a lot of lyrics and articles in this language. Thats all folks.

I see this post and i thought “this is very boring”, but is a good matter. Have a relation with my project on the workshop, because im working with the future, technology and specially with the screens. Today all is screens. Screen on the bus, screens on the class, screens on the house; and all the time in facebook or wassap. This amazing technology, but in the next years we look the provoked changes for this on the kids: empathy absence. Its like the videogames, but worse.

I use this page for talk with friends, coordinate works and comment publications, but i prefeer talk in person. In fact, facebook is an extension of my conversations with my friends. Im not talk much with people i cant see. Im not believe in facebook for keep a friendship or a relation. Really, facebook is a very good platform for input images, texts and general information. Is good for be informed of news, funny videos, etc. Its a trivial page for hang out, but all the day with this and have “internet friends” i think is bad. Its a necessary sickness.

This is a good question. My favorite writer is Roberto “El negro” Fontanarrosa, an argentinian cartoonist and writer. He born in 1944 on Rosario, Santa Fe. The soccer is very popular in this city, Even more Buenos Aires. That are a reason because he is a huge fan of soccer sport, specially of Rosario Central. This isnt trite, because the soccer is an important element on his work. In my opinion, is the best writer in this area, relating neighbourhood stories, anonymous football players, crazy and funny stories of amateur soccer, without intellectual pretentions. He said "People would say that I'm comic writer, at most, and that will be true. I don't care too much how people will define me as a writer. I don't want to be a Nobel laureate. It will be enough for me if anyone tells me 'I laughed my ass off with your book.”

He too is a cartoonist, the most popular on his country after Quino(Mafalda). With characters like Inodoro Pereyra, who tell the life of this gaucho and her way of life, always with humor. Isnt a sociological study. I know her with this comic and the first thing leave an impression on me was his creativity. He worked with antiheroes characters, like the same Inodoro Pereyra or Boogie “el aceitoso”, an american stereotype òf mercenary soldier, rough and sexist.

In her last years, he work on animated film. Designed the art for “Fierro”, the movie of Martín Fierro and co-writer the story of this popular character.

Well, for that post i choose a multidisciplinary artist. This article is a compile of a photography technic, but his works is more broad. specifically, this article like me for the mixture of different specialities, like printmaking, photography and close to sculpture. 

This is visual arts; reach a talking image. With sample elements like the repetition, subtraction and depth he build his work and dont need more. Dont need a politic speech, neither need a big skill; he use his creativity.

http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2012/06/quilled-paper-anatomy-by-sarah-yakawonis/

This is other article. The artist is Sarah Yakawonis, and used paper for create human anatomy. She simulate the human muscles, bones, veins, etc. with pieces of paper to leave a slice of human body. She get the effect, an amazing effect of open body... with paper! This work required big skills from the artist: proportion, patience and very much details, but the most important, the vision for create this works, very originals and powerful, being an attraction for experts and common people.

I haven't favorite artists or idols in visual arts. This is rare, because I admire people in music, literature, cinema, etc. but in visual arts I can't choose one big person. I like works, discourse, creativity, technique and more features, but is very boring for thrill me. It's a world where the unfathomable is a virtue. I like Da vinci, but he can't leave the museums; Or I like Blek le Rat, but this kind of art it's not taken seriously.
My ideal artist use the technique for create a captivate work, his discourse for propose an important problem and his creativity for be listened. Here, you have the big problem of be unnecessary. The people can live without look an printmaking, doesn't matter the painting story. They can look a lot of sculptures on the street, but the routine make invisible. On conclusion, the visual art fight with himself for leave his bubble without die trying. Just that, bye. 

For me, a god film is a good story; This is the most important thing. A story with sense, even absurd sense. Famous or unknown actors, director, producers, etc. Either matter the topic: action, romantic, comedy...When you have a good story you have a 50% of the film. I think in cinema of Iran, with Abbas Kiarostami. This guy tell simple stories, with anonymous people. He tell the story only with images and sounds. You don't need to know persian for understand the movie. 
A good film relate the drama of the real life, and for that is politic. Taxi driver(Scorsese), The clockwork orange(Kubrick), In the name of the father(Sheridan), Citizen Kane(Welles), Where the green ants dream(Hezog),Tricks(Jakimowski), Bycicle thieves(De Sica), Apocalypse now(Coppola) and many more films do have inm common the story of one persons and his development from the beginning to the end. 

A film don't try to tell a new story, if not, how to tell the same story. The essential on different topics of movies is very similar, but the talent for communicate and transmit a concept is unique.

I attached "The Chorus" of Kiarostami, a short film that no need subtitles for be understand: 

Part 1

Part 2

JR

For this post, I choose to JR. He is a French artist, who start in Paris doing graffitis for then pass to the photography or "photograffeur", like he describe yourself. 
This guy make huge portraits of different persons and different themes, deal with social problems, like Gaza Strip conflict. His work is completely politic and rambler, ever on the streets and with common people, paste increase photographies on street walls, roofs, stairs, etc.
The work method is talk with people of the place; He listen what they say and later think how to realise the photographies; so that his job is very accepted, turn into illegal to allow, recongnised and reward.
This photographer is my favorite for his commitment and simplicity for show his way of looking in hard topics.

My Favorite Piece of Technology

My favorite and indispensable piece of technology is the mp3, or any object for listen music; but especially the mp3, because this is portable and rechargeable. This is practical and cheap: you used very much hours and just in 1 hour the energy is recovered.
The impact provoked by this devise in our days is gorgeous: the possibility of listen any kind of music in any place with this little object on your pocket generates a new form of enjoy the music.
In the past you used the radio for listen music. You chose the radio station, but not the songs. Later, you buy a vinyl, a casette or a disc, but you don´t know the quality of your purchase. Today, you can download music of any place in the world, any style and any quality, but the most important: you can listen before; for example, on YouTube.
The digital age allows the opportunity of save a lot of music and information in a small place, with memories every time more big.

Hi:

I´m in the fourth year of visual arts and this term i´m in a sculpture workshop. Here, you do Jobs like personally projects: Big or smalls, in a gallery or in the street, classic or experimental, etc. Parallel, with guys of the class goes to learn of stonemasonry. For this you need stones and tools, just for start to work; and now we are doing the tools for this. This is the classic side of the workshop.

On the complementary workshop i´m in 3d class, where you learn to use a computer program for shape virtually. In the first classes we shaped a toy car, but when you learn anything is possible.

Another class is experimental film. In this class you can do experiments with materials like a celluloid. With this, you can start the intervention of the material. Then you should show your results with a projector, like a cinema.

POST 1 

I was born in april 1991in Félix Bulnes Hospital. All my life i lived in Renca with my parents and my Little brother.

I did the primary school in Renca, but the secundary school on Santiago. When i finish the school i was going to study in Valparaíso. For one year i study on a film career in Universidad de Valparaíso, where the people was awesome in Playa Ancha, but the university was very disrupted.

Then, i come back to Santiago and went to Universidad de Chile to study visual arts. I entered on 2011, the best year for be in this art career, because in this year all the things we do come to the Street and had an important job.


In the latest years i lerned engrave and actually i´m in the sculpture workshop, where i try to take my job to the people in the streets.
