My Blog Experience

Hello partners! Today I will talk about the experience that has been studing English III. I've noticed, which are the things that have been more dificult and the ones that have been a easier. It is hard for me to speak and write than to understand and listen English. I can’t speak English and is not only by the difficult, it is because the nerves play against me. I feel ashamed to look ridiculous in front of the class. I have made progress leaving the nerves aside even though it is a bit difficult. 
I like the idea to post in the blog every week, I found something positive for the development of the lesson as it gives us the ability to write whatever we want, like writing about our childhood, career and personal interest. I believe that my vocabulary has expanded and i could refresh aspects of the language and its grammar. I consider the fact that not all members of the class are previous classmates, forces us to express and lose the fear of ridicule. So I want to thank everybody and I wish you the best of luck.

My Work as Theoroitician

Throughout the study years of my career, I've read a lot about art history, aesthetics and philosophy, knowing all kinds of artistic expressions and context, with this knowledge we can submerge into the theoretical issues that interest us more, which can be a particular artistic discipline, movement, an artist, or the context around them, such as the social, political context, the philosophical precepts and also the fundamental value of the aesthetics in the arts. It is this  concept, aesthetics, one of the most fundamental when it comes to my work, writings and my undergraduate thesis. Aesthetics is a branch of philosophy that allows us to analyze the problems of art.

 I have studied various areas of art of which I consider important is the field of aesthetics as it becomes essential to understand the artistic expression art itself. Another area of my career that I consider vital to our profession, is the area of documentation and conservation, since it is necessary to have a special interest in this area, because without it we are nothing, we would not have all the knowledge we have in the arts and history today. At this point in the career, I am preparing my undergraduate thesis, which has much to do with aesthetics and the area of national documents, where the object of study is the picture of protest of the 1980s in our country.

My Favorite Birthday

Hi classmates!

In this blog I will talk about what I consider my best childhood birthday. It was my fourth birthday and at that time I still lived in Santiago with my father in a small apartment. So that we could celebrate a birthday with all my friends in the preschool yard, one of the smaller sister of my father offered her home to celebrate my birthday (which had a large patio to make children's birthday)

With the issue of space solved, I remember my mom as good preschool teacher, she performed with his own hands games for my birthday, I remember that I do some panels with drawings of faces with open mouths to play basquetball with socks balls, we also played the classic game of "pin the tail on the donkey" and  scavenger hunts.

I remember having so much fun with my friends, cousins and uncles who were also part of the celebration. Impossible to forget the gifts I received, one that I like the more was an Barbie looking outfit, it was a picnic dress, because it came with picnic basket. Regarding food, I do not remember much. If I can remember correctly there were the classic "surprises" that are given to children birthday guests in the moment they leave, this was a bag or box containing various sweet types and a small toy, this "surprise" indulged in children birthdays as a symbol of gratitude for coming to the celebration and also as a reminder of a good birthday (don’t know if this still happens today)

Although I do not remember all the details, I can remember the feeling. That birthday, I felt fine and I feel that is one of the birthdays where I had more fun. That’s why I remember it as one of my Best birthday ever.

The Story of a Picture

Hello everyone! Today I will talk about this photograph, please excuse the poor quality of the image, but it is for a reason, because it is a picture of my 1996 school yearbook which I took with my phone.

 In the picture you can see a girl painting. Its me in the picture,  I was only five years old. In the photo you can see me painting a picture of flowers which was showed at the Academy of Painting , as you can see I was interested in Arts since childhood! for me is very important because this photo alone tells a little about the interest that I have in Arts from an early age, it is something that defines me. The photography was taken by the same art teacher.

My Favorite Recipe

One of the things that I like to do is cook Italian food, one of my favorite recipes is the bolognese lasagna. It is said there are many ways to do it, even the order in which the lasagna is prepared. In my home, my family usually makes it in one particular way, which is the way I adopted.

First, you must have all the ingredients prepped. You need 400ml tomato sauce, 400g of ground beef, onion, grated carrot, and various condiments. I also put white sauce (a lot of people do it) I use a large can of cream, which is heated and spiced. The rest ingredient would be the pasta, I buy a packet in any supermarket, this must be boiled according to package directions, boiled for about 10 min in a large pot with oil and salt to taste. We also need cheese cut in strips to put between layers of lasagna. Once the pasta and sauces are ready you need need a baking dish. To Assemble, first pour a layer of sauce on the base of the dish, then cover with a layer of pasta, put cream and shredded cheese, then again a layer of bolgnesa sauce with shredded cheese and sauces. I repeat this process at least 3 times. Finally on top of the last layer of dough pour a little cream and cheese to gratinate in the oven. the lasagna must be  in the oven for about 10 minutes, until cheese looks melted and has a little brownish colour. then there’s nothing left but serve the lasagna into square pieces and enjoy.

Enjoy your meal!

The Monsters of My Childhood

I remember as a child I was really frightened of ghost stories. I do not have those memories that many people have or movies such as Freddy Krueger "chuky, Devil Doll", this is because in my home my parents did not allow me to see such movies, they don’t like them that much either, so no fears grew with those monsters. what scared me most certainly were ghost stories, like those given in a program of TVN, "when you least expect", where you could see stories in which the dead returned as ghosts to communicate with their living relatives, or worse, to hurt someone just to kill or scare.

I must say that the fear of ghosts I had in my childhood are still with me, I must also say that I never see horror films because fear drops me dead. Anyways, I 've seen the occasional horror movie with which I get scared more than normal people hahaha. To even think about going to the cinema to see one, scares me. I love movies, but I do not like blowing up from my seat in shock. 

An Expert on Your Field

She is Whitney Chadwick, she is american feminist art historian, she is a professor at San Francisco State University and has published books on issues of gender and sexuality in modernism, surrealism, and contemponary art.

Her book Women, Art and Society, explores the history of womens cotributions in the art history since the middle ages to the 21st century, examination of the intersection of class, race, gender with culture, geography, politics, religion and criticism. The writer analyses the wrong prejudgement regarding minimizing the work of women artists in the history compared to the men artists and explanis why the women were not so famous in their time and today. In this investigation also talks about of the relationship between woman and art.

In this book Chadwick intends clams the labor of this women artists and hes work, seeks to place them in their rightful place in the history of art. She for me is on of the most important writers and researchers in the field of arts, because she rescues the work of women artists undervalued and even unknown.
