I am using this session of the blog for comment something that really upset me... Since I was a kid I like a lot Gorillaz, the digital band created by the vocalist of Blur (Damon Albarn), It´s very interesting group, have lyrics so significant and a have a unic rithym that no any band have. Other thing very interesting of this digital group, are their concerts, because his quality of digital make his concerts uniques and differents, a really unusual show that I have always wanted to see but they never came to Latinoamerica and also the band stayed inoperative for a lot of time. This year, the band released a new album and all the fans was so excited... it started the rumor that they will came to Chile... finally that they came, they confirmed that rumor, but, when I Try to buy the ticket for the concert I have the surprise of it´s excessive price... come on! that is not fair! All kind of persons must have the oportunity to buy the entrance but this is really expensive... I´m a little...

I don´t know if I am really good in something, but I like to do a lot of artistic things, I like to play guitar, sometimes I write little texts, but the most important for me, with the music, is the draw,  the visual arts are very important in my life since I was a child. Since I have memory I reaaly enjoy drawing every that I can. I started drawing cartoons or mangas, when I grew up I try with more complex things, like real persons or more detailed draws.  All kind of draws requires a lot of materials, I have had a lot types of pencils, paints, papers, brushes but the most important... time and patience, somethig that I have but a little. I still doing this but for my own pleasure becuase I don´t cosider me good doing this but I like it.  Now in the university I have been learning more forms to do visual art and techniches of draw, and is for this, another thing for what I love this career. I still learning a lot of things of how draw and I still trying, i have...

The photograph that I chose is the only picture that I have here in Chile (because I'm from Colombia) and it was present all my family core. This picture was take in the graduation ceremony of my cousin Lady in Colombia, she is a doctor now. The picture was take by my uncle, he is a professional photographer and he always be the photographer in every familiar event. For me it is very funny and curiousity this picture because my sister, brother and cousin was in the university, and me... I only was 7 years old in that time. I was enter to the primary school that year and my brother and sister was at the middle of their professional studies at the university (becuase they only have one year's diference in their age). In the picture apears my Mom, sister, brother, cousin, my dad and me, is not necesary to explain who is who becuase is very obvius. This photo is one of the few photos that my mom look at the camera becuase she always look to another part or she are with the mo...

I like a lot the experience of a class that you can speak in english in a superior level because the teacher who really speaks in english is an incentive for speak better although we speak less maybe for shame or for another reasons. maybe all of we are very worried about for anothers classes but for me was a good english class, diferent from the one's I'm used to do.   I think that this method of write blogs is interesting and for me was confortable. I think that I improve a lot my writing with this exercise and makes me think more in English, know that I can write a simple but long text in English using every time less a traductor or a dictionary is a good advance for me.   I would like to include maybe another types of activities for learn more to think in english, I don’t know exactly what but something more informal, less “academic” that causes more interest in the students. Maybe a kind of video game or something that involve all of us but only in English.   I wo...

draw I have some hobbies but one of the most important for me is draw. I started to draw when I was a little kid, since I have conscience, I really enjoyed this hobby, try to draw my favorite cartoons or even characters of the video games that I liked. When I grew up I try to do other things and explore a little more in the world of drawing. For draw you need materials, tools and every you want, every people have a preference about what they want to use becase everyone have their own style for do it.I like to have three kind of mechanical pencil, or kind of pencils, with diferents thicknesses, a good eraser and paper with a intermediate grammage like fabriano paper. Also if I want to paint my draws I can use oleos or markers... i want to lear to use acrilics and acuarelas... I usually draw alone since I was a kid, is something so personal for me and this make me feel "free" because I can expres what I want but sometimes I can't expres what I want and that is hor...

Geometry Is kind of dificult to choice one subject like my favorite because I like every subject that I have in the career but this one, is in the one that I have better marks, is easy for me, so I enjoy a lot this class. In this subject we have to see, understand and build geometrics forms in the space, understandig their spaciality, volume, projections and how we see it in the real life. we started wit simple forms in 2D, transforming it, deforming it... that is called "transformations". After that we take this geometrics forms and try another thing, we "homologate" the form in a second plane... the vertical and horizonthal plane, deforming the figure like the projections that are presented in the reality. finally we learn to project a figure but now in 3D in a new plane, a espacial plane that is conform again with the horizonthal and vertical plane but now in this case we can put the figure not only in the planes, now between the planes, spatially wi...

Antoni Gaudí He was a Spanish architect, the highest representative of Catalan modernism. He was an architect with an innate sense of geometry and volume, as well as a great imaginative capacity that allowed him to mentally project most of his works before moving them to plans. In fact, he rarely made detailed plans of his works; I have preferred to recreate them on three-dimensional models, molding every detail as mentally devised them. On other occasions, I have improvised on the fly, instructing his collaborators on what to do. More than the sense of geometry in a formal building that he had, he made a beautiful archichectonical art in the vanguard of the 20th century with his new desings, the new view of the architecture, a new art that will represent him, he has a lot of Beautiful buildings in Barcelona and even and a gorgeous cathedral that is not ready jet because is very complex and beautiful. This men revived with more stronge my choice to study architecture, I ...
