Postgraduate

Hello everyone! I'm going to talk about a postgraduate course in the future... I insist about restoration course, I think is important keeping studying after university at least for me, I enjoy learning especially about arts.Nevertheless, I understand that I can search course related painting, sculpture, or technology courses.

In the future, I want to work n places related to antique buildings and of course, restoration centers. 
The probably subject that I would like to study is associated with chemistry, history, laboratory, painting, sculpture, differents theory about conservation and restoring, on top of that the skills that should learn and use.

I have friends who are learning restoration at my university, they say the teacher are really good, she has a long career in this matter. Bearing this in mind, I can study after my grade here too. As far as a study " abroad" or "Chile" is concerned, I would like to do a course in another country, since I was a child I wanted to study outside... mmm I don't know why.

Currently, there are many ways to study, for example, distance learning, part-time course... I have looked many websites about an online course with the certificate from the university, personally, I'm not very disciplined with being working on a computer and also at my house, I should being outside or in some library.

In short, I'm just dreaming, I ned to work first and earn money and then see if I can pay a course.








My favorite piece of art


Hello classmate, today I'm going to talk about my favorite piece of art...but in my view, choose something that we call "favorite" it changes every time because rather "preferred" depend on of the moment in your life. In this case, This oil painting " la lectura" from Cosme San Martin. 
This painter was born in Valparaiso, Chile, in 1850, he studied in the painting academy and then he won a scholarship for study in Europe, after all, he came back and he was the first Chilean director of the Academy.  

When I saw it for the first time  I stayed front in this picture for a long time, I was still a school girl.  I Liked because It seemed to me being in the scene, firstly I imagined the characters moving, in some way listening in my mind what she is reading to her family, then the little boy playing on the floor. also the people pay attention, look that old man watching her daughter, very concentrated and his sister too. This naturalist painting was a  typical family scene in the second half of the XIX century. 

Apart from this, in general,  I like being so close to the oil canvas, if I can ... of course  and see how is painted, the brushstroke, the colors.For me is special, every time when I see this painting, I found something new or I change the movements in my mind, Now I miss this picture because isn't in a museum, their other exposition, I haven't seen for a long time scene. I hope the next year come back again.

English Language Challenges



In my opinion,  These two years learning English at university wasn't  kind of satisfactory, because I hoped that this different period ( university) English were more productive , I know that depends by  ourself but I can recognize ,making blogs it's a really good skill, at least for me because it force  you  thinking and writing in English.
every blog's class you must in just one hour complete the work about different subjects. 
Definitely,  our Thursday class should have been two hours or two more classes , in that class we were talking in a group, it was fun.

When I was at school , we studied for  four years the same things , every class, ( present, the past , future ) I like studied but we were a few student who takes care the class.  I always liked different languages , It's true that I could do better, I mean put in practice all the aspect of learning English. I need to improve learning verbs and speak with someone, for example,  when I am traveling ,  it's normal to meet people  and put in  practice all that you know but I fail with the vocabulary  and I'm a shy person respect talking in another language.
I must read more , I always turn on the tv and listening movies or  news programs ( bbc , cnn) , also I should search English websites , there's a lot of pages about learning vocabulary, doing  exercise  or talk with myself like a monolog.

When I was at home I read my art's book and not often I use the dictionary , I should be , but I don't do it . In general,  every day I read at least one page In English. 
In short,  I MUST practice!!!!
