Changes to my study programme

Today we are going to talk about my study plan. 

I am a student of visual arts, between 2016 and before that I did two years of basic cycle in the same university. 

During the basic cycle the load is relatively light, it is four times a week with a duration of approximately three hours each day. I really enjoyed that stage, it was very lively, even though it was difficult because when I started studying my son was barely six months old and I had to leave him in the nursery, which made me very sad. I also had some shortcomings, such as the fact that it was a very distant extension of what the degree was, there were no benefits, such as scholarships or I passed school, but I think the biggest thing was that there was no consistent continuity between what was the basic cycle and the degree.

Between the bachelor's degree and the hourly load increased, there were semesters when I had very large windows, but since I didn't live nearby I couldn't go home and come back. There were branches called transversals that the whole school attended and we all had classes in the same room, those of theatre, dance, etc. And although it was a bit chaotic, it was fun when it was time to work in a group.

I am impressed by the way the classes are given, they are very traditional, following the models of the school of fine arts, for example for example, in drawing, first you practice with a plaster model, then with live models, and when you are in your third year you can only opt for something more experimental. Law is taught, for example lithography, which is a technique of engraving on stone, it is very old, I am not against it, I see it as something romantic, however in these things the precariousness of the use of technology is reflected, the media branches are very few, and in this context of pandemic it has been a forced learning to know about diagramming and computer work. This is a weakness if we buy ourselves from other universities. And it's a clear disadvantage the day we have to go out as artists into the world of work, which in this country sucks, something that is at the bottom of the list. This will be one of the main reasons given for the lack of funds and the weak infrastructure that the faculty and the school of arts in general have.

  For example, my workshop is very technical and needs machines to be able to work, there are few of them for the number of students, and this generally happens in workshops that are more "technical".

personal opinion

Hello 

Today I am going to talk about tattoos, personally I love them <3 although I only have 9 on my body, some not so nice, but I love them anyway 

I'm not sure what fascinates me most about them.

Born in different parts of the world 

During history they have had a negative connotation, as for the Greeks and the Romans, it corresponds more to a stigma than to a social punishment, for bad actions, like stealing, killing, etc.  

There are also the tattoos in native towns, among the most recognized are the Polynesian ones, where the tattoo acquires a positive connotation and of social importance, with geometric designs. 

In some American towns they have a ritualistic connotation, where they mark a transition from some important life event, or to commemorate the dead and protection. In some cases the pigments used were ashes from cremations. 

In Chile many passing rituals were used for ceremonies, for example the Mapuche still paint their bodies to perform some dances such as the choike purrún so that the ostriches come down to dance with them. Few peoples had permanent tattoos, among them the Chinchorro culture, which had a deep connection with the cult of death, which is reflected in their elaborate mummification processes.

In these times the tattoo is already accepted as an art, and the market offers hundreds of products for tattooers and tattooed people, there are fairs, conventions, courses, and different styles of tattoos, inks of all colours, extracted from vegetable pigments, vegan inks 

However, if one is looking for formal work in companies, they ask that one does not have tattoos or that they are not visible, there is still not as much acceptance.
