if I could change the curriculum of the visual arts career, I would modify it mainly from the second year onwards. I consider that the first year works correctly since it teaches the visual language and gradually approaches the basic knowledge that one must have, in terms of color, form, composition, drawing, media, etc. However, in the second year, in addition to the drawing and theoretical courses, there are three instrumental workshops. In my case, and in the case of some of my classmates, we opted for workshops that we did not necessarily like at all, but to fit the schedule of these, I think this should not happen. My solution is to have more workshops on the same course so that we can choose correctly. As for infrastructure we have not really participated in this, because almost two years of pandemic followed by a strike has not allowed us to occupy the facilities. But from what colleagues from previous generations say it is quite decadent, the school of visual arts is old and th...

     I wouldn't really like to travel back in time, I think the world in some ways has never worked better and the future doesn't look very promising, but if I had the opportunity to travel in a time machine I would prefer to go back in time, probably to the Middle Ages. Despite the risks I would run for being a woman at that time I would like to be able to visit such a context and implement ideas of the future (my present) about gender, the role of women, the eradication of slavery, and somehow accelerate the processes and social changes that have taken centuries. Obviously I would not like to go alone, the best thing for such a trip would be to go with a large group of people, with different qualities and from different disciplines. Together we could make a very discreet anonymous society so as not to be caught and thus be able to spread revolutionary ideas for the time, it would be a pamphlet movement to which anyone who wants could join. this trip would be only to ful...

  Usually change my mind over and over again but my idea of work always revolves around something similar, as every artist or almost every artist the dream is to make a living from art. From that idea and landing to reality I would like to have a collective workshop that works as an art and craft workshop where you can work personally or in projects with other people from different disciplines and also be a place where artists are formed from a less academic look and more from the trades. I believe that art comes from many places, that's why as individuals we must move from closed spaces, from the city, from movement, but also from nature, the outdoors and tranquility. I would love to be a kind of itinerant artist, to create from different places, capturing different visions of the world in my work. I would not really like to work as an employee of someone in particular, I prefer work independence even if it means economic instability. In the future I would love to take a major in ...

 I love the moments when I think of my childhood, so many good memories. If I describe it with a smell, it will be the grass, in my childhood house, we had a big garden, green and full of trees, lemons, oranges, and apricot trees. with my sister, we usually spent hours at the patio recollecting grass, ground, leafs, flower, and whatever we found to do magical soups for fairies.  I have a lot of beautiful favorites moments of my childhood, and they always include my cousin and sister. When I was a kid my grandmother care for us, our mothers had worked all day so we spent the day after school at my grandma's house. We had played without stop, and when my grandma fell slept we usually do a lot of things in secret, we ate sweet milk, cocoa powder, or whatever. we take older sleeping pads and built houses, and at the same time, we costumed of a princess. When my grandma wakes up she found her house disheveled. She never was angry, even she usually played with us. I love her so much...

       I didn't travel a lot in my life but once my sister and I had "the trip" of ours lives probably, we don´t know yet. We went to Taiwan in the summer of 2016, that time I was fifteen, and my sister seventeen. This trip was so not planned, what happened was that at the school I made a friend Chilean-Taiwanese, she is one of my besties, and at the grade of my sister, there was another Chilean-Taiwanese boy, a family friend of my friend family, so confusing.  My family and your family are pretty close. One day they say to us that they will be going to travel to Taiwan and if we, my sister and I want to come with them. We had been there almost two months without our parents, too much for two teenagers maybe.       We stay in New Taipei, it was a beautiful and so modern city, pretty loud. We went to museums, walk around the city, we spent Christmas and new year there, both of them, the occidental and the oriental. There Christmas it's not the...

I wish would visit Easter Island, firstly i think that it´s super interesting the fact that people don't identify like Chilean, it is more like an independent country. About that, I think that their fight it's been super hard and resilient. They have their own identity and culture, also another language and way to be. Another thing which I'm interested in about this place is the view, the moais, the weather, the flora and fauna.   I don't know so much about the Island, but the people that been there says that the tourism it's the base of the economy, every year the island it's full of tourist, every kind of, families, backpackers, older people, partners from all the world, etc. There I would like to swim between fish, recollect fruit from the floor, eat avocado and other things that I don’t know yet. By now I think that it’s a place to visit on holidays like tourists, always the people say that the Rapanui people don´t like the “long visits”.
