Blog 8: A subject you enjoyed studying this semester

 Hello everyone! 

Today I will talk about my favorite subject this semester, the truth is that this is my leveling semester so I have very few courses, only three, my favorite of those is Graphic techniques  V, is a course that we had to do it last year but because of pandemic they froze it with the hope of having face to face classes.

In Graphics techniques V we mainly see video mapping, it is a technique that consists of a large projection of images or videos on large structures such as buildings, we have seen different types of mapping and how they are made, in the last unit we have been taught programs to make simple animations and project on objects. 

I like it because I am interested in the use of technology in art, also because it is a technique that can be used in public spaces and reach a wider audience.

See you in a future blog!

Blog 7: a career-related website

 Hi everyone again!

 

Today we will talk about a website that has been a lifesaver in the carrer, this site is called pirate artist, it is a kind of blog with the largest amount of cracked digital programs of last generation for artists, the best thing is that it is completely free. 

The easiest thing is to use the search engine on the page to find the program you need, make sure it is a program for windows or mac and follow the download instructions, there are three download servers that are mega, mediafire and dirve, I recommend using the drive because it will not charge you even if the program weighs many GB.

Every time I need some kind of program is the first page to which I go, it is a great help because our career requires us many programs that are only found in the computer room and often need to continue working at home, especially in the pandemic. 

I hope that the page is as helpful as it is to me, you can visit it through the following link https://www.artistapirata.com/

Blog 6: How Can Your Major/Career Make the World a Better Place

hello everyone! today we will talk about a complex issue in the career: how does theatrical design affect the world?

Theatrical design is one of those silent careers that almost nobody knows about but that is found everywhere, in different shows, it may seem that it is only something aesthetic but in the end these aesthetic decisions end up creating realities and visual conceptions in the viewer, especially if these are repeated, as it was in his time the ¨black face¨ or that evil characters are aesthetically ugly and the other way around.

Many things that are presented to the viewer is a political and social positioning. The truth is that when I entered this career I didn't think about changing the world but I love how some shows are able to transport you to another world and how they make us take a position in these worlds, that's what I want in my future works. I believe that our work can make people feel that they can improve the world.

¨The great fight of the century¨ street play performed during the social outburst.

A photograph you like

 Hi everyone! today I'll tell you about a nostalgic photograph

 

This picture is a selfie taken by my friend thania when we had classes in 2019, in the career the semester closings are very stressful and overwhelming so we got together the 3 of us in any of the houses to finish our exams in a nice way, we cooked some delicious food, we gave us breaks to dance or a spa moment, but mainly we supported each other by commenting our work or helping us with techniques.

I really like this picture because since we started to do the exams together it stopped being an overwhelming experience and you can see it in our faces, I miss them a lot and also these moments, I have missed them in this virtual mode.

I leave this photo as a bonus, thanks for reading, see you in another day!. 

 

Blog 4: A meal on food you really like

 Hi everyone! We read each other again to talk about a culinary delicacy my mom`s noodles with pesto sauce.

My mom has a special recipe to prepare them, the pesto sauce has basil, spinach, garlic, walnuts, olive oil and a little salt (we don't have a measure, it is intuitive)  You have to boil the basil and spinach, then grind everything in a blender, it is easy to prepare and delicius.

I think what i really loves is pesto sauce because i can eatit on noodles but i also serve it on bread, cracker or even on pizza

It is a healthy meal but i like it so much that i can eat it twice and it has made me crafy because i don't like it not the same preparation.

I want to make an honorable mention to the chumbeque, a traditional sweet from Iquique made of dough and honey, which i also love because it is tasty, has a great variety of flavors and is great as a gift since few people in Santiago know it.

I hope you liked this post, that you can prepare my mom's pesto sauce and try a chumbeque, see you soon.😊

My favorite piece of technology

 Hello everyone, again!

This time I will tell you about my first technological love that ended up being a polyamory, the video games.

It all started when I was six years old when my brother let me play for the first time (and with the controller connected) donkey kong on his super nintendo. It was love at first play, unfortunately the power connector died, as time went by we received a nintendo 64 as a christmas present with two games, this time I fell in love with the legend of zelda (ocarina of time), it was one of those games that I never got bored of playing again, since that day video games became part of my life because every time I needed a break from the world or wanted to enjoy a new adventure there was a great repertoire to try, this was also the cause of my childhood dream of being an adventurer.

Nowadays I don't have as much time as before to play but every time I find myself tired physically or mentally I pick up a console again to cheer me up, I know that there are people who don't like it and also that it is a very expensive hobby but I recommend to experience a good game at least once in life, to the moon is an emotive game for pc that you can download for free through this link http://indiehorrorrpg.blogspot.com/2013/09/to-moon.html I hope you liked this post, see you another time.

Blog 2: Why did you choose this career?

Hi, everyone

This time i will tell you about how i made the decision to study theater desing.

It all started in my childhood when my biggest dream was to become a adventurous like in fairy tails and movies, but this dream was difficult, there is no such a career, after this shock, I was not excited about other.

Untill one day when i was 14 years old a friend of mine convinced me to cosplay for Halloween. I enjoyed making the accessories so much (because I bought the costume), that I ended up buying sewing machines to make more and more complex cosplay. 

 

When I had to choose a career, I wanted to dedicate myself to a career that would give me the same passion as making a cosplay. I searched several options until I found a website where I found theatrical design.

It was my only option when I applied, it was theater design or nothing. Unfortunately I started studying at a difficult time in my life and in my fourth semester I froze.

I spent a long time without knowing what to do with my life and after therapy, I was able to regain the courage to return to the career and it was the best decision I've ever made. The knowledge, my classmates and the experience I have gained at the university has been worth it all.

I love making costumes, props and scenery. If it's fantasy better, I also like animation and investigate the use of technologies in art. I like so many things that I still don't know what I will do specifically in the future.
