The End

Learn english always seems to me like a bitter sweet experience , since I was in kinder garden I have to deal with english class, that time it was fun beacause only you have to know who do you say colors, numbers or vocals and sing but when I was in high school my teacher do Karaoke of the all songs in the movie grease meanwhile she just to sigh for John Travolta and then when I think that before that experience English and me meet nevermore in this life happens that is obligatory in the curriculum of Art.
This last experience has been bitter sweet to, not so bad like in high school, but I think that English in university have to be more fun and less academic, because lets try think in the hour, after all the hours that you spend in the university at 19 pm you don't have so much energy for English, so one things that I change is the topics of the blogs, in what planet they think that write about my carrer or curriculum that makes me like English classes, actually when the topic have to do with things more fun like: vacations, Xmas or family or cats, with this tipics I wrote much better and I tried to do with fun. because I know that mostly of my class mates have to read my blogs and I don't they have spite they could laugh about it and the could have a entertainment.
English is a very usefull language because all the mangas, comic japponese,  that I like for example, they are in english, the movies that I like are in English and sometimes for more you look forward that special movie, sometimes they don't have subtitles so yes the English is everywhere like my cats and like they I have to deal with this.

old fashioned art

  We are in 2016 an still my carrer is like we are in 1930, when Picasso´s painings was the cherris of the ice cream. I think this because spite that today art could be anything that you could do with a little of imagination an some smartphone  who takes pictures with so great cuality that is don't matther if is a starbucks coffe(seriusly people, stop doit this), spite of that the carrer of art is totally old fashioned starting with the curriculum.
Some subjects like paint is like the old days, I totally respect the fact that when you start you have to study the theory of colors and do still life, but also you should start to create you own way to paint, beacause you style of paint is so important like the escent of a writer, Jane Austen wrote novels but also some others writters to, so the thing that make that she sparks in the field novel was her style of writing. In paint the firts two years of three I though that never give me the change to practice my style I spite that each one have they maner to paint the same models, always the teachers put his personal teaste in paint and with that some time I have to force me to paint more realistic because sometimes i almost have the danger of  reprobe the asegment and not because dont work on it but sometimes teachers likes more some styles of painthings like others.


  In tecnology happen the same things, all are so old fashion and I not refering of tecnologic pices( who the more tecnolgic are the mac computers and the microwawes) are speak to the web site when you have important information like  grades, asegments, finaltian situation, I forgett who many times I have to go to the secretary because some asignature asignature missing or I never take, some grade also dont show up spite that we are in the last day of the semester, well like I said some technologies  ans asegments are like frozen forever and that helps to have teachers like the monarchy stay forever and then choose the student that more like not the most cualificate to be techaer, also we have a web site that falls out always and we have to go to a fisic place to erase they mistakes(the funny think is that the web was create for save us to go to the secretary) and finally  we have metods that shloud be extinct because we are in 2016 not in 1930, we have contemporany art!, so deal with it and Let it go the all way... please, for the future students.

Santiago´s Summer

 Personally I dont like Summer vacations because I always pass this two months in Santiago and I dont now who escape of the hot and thats will sound more rare I personally dont like have too much time for relax, because my head start to think in what I have to do starting March. I hope that you dont think that I like the grich of the summer vacations, but I have my reasons. Like I said in a blog before I live with nine cats and two dogs, one of the reasons of why I and my parents dont go out of the city is for them, because ask someone to take care of eleven pets is too much, we think. The other reason is I dont have relatives who lives in others citys than Santiago, so I need saving more money for a place to stay. 


So you will think that my vacations are very boring but I personally dont mind because I have time to take summer curses like Ballet, I like to retake Ballet lesons because this year I have to leave them for university schedule and obiously I can spend time with friends that I dont see in long time like my high school friends or friends of my boyfriend who now are like my friends actually one of them always invating us to his home when his parents are out and the house is very big and full of entreteined like a big back jard with a lake of fish ideal or a big living room with a tv as big like a cinema screen, so I spent a great time in summer vacations but more for simply things like  in the city the public transport is not full of people in fact the city is not full of people and have all the time of the world to do whatever you like and dont have to think that is a waste of time, because you dont have other bigger obligation than relax.

The other women

This painting by Degas is not the most popular of this famous paintor, but has something that actrack me because shows a very ordinary accion. The women in the painting show us his back  meanwhile she tried to put a hat gracefully, or sounds to me like that, becasuse spite that I cant see her face, hers corporal language show us a women who get ready everyday looking her serlf in the mirror for check if the hat was put well in the hair and slightly move to one side of his head meanwhile she continue  styling her hair, because she show us her left hand that hold a big part of his hair, all this obiusly do wiht extrimly calm and grace.



The author Edgar Degas was a famous parisian artist, who was recognice by he amanzig drawing and he facination about ballerinas, in fact his more famous paintings was the star who shows us a principal ballerina in the stage, my first nowelge about him was because of the ballerinas that he paint, because I have too a fascination about ballet and a found that tghis artist shows them in a way more human, because if you see her painthing you will found a comun patron, the cotidianity like a beauty. The ballerinas that he shows seems like in back stage, like: practicing the moves, look if they look good for stage, streching, all the actions that ballerinas look more humans and the same thing happens with her other topics that he paint, womens in her cotidianity, a lot of works by him show women taking a bath or brush her hair, like the painthing that I choose, and all this womens look so calm and gracefull, like a ballerina, doing accions that she do every day. I thing that one of the things that Degas wants to shows to that spite that he lives in a word( IXI centrury) where women are perfect and act perfectly by his friends, family or ther audience, they shows more beauty when they stop to act and do rodinary things, with out his "perfect mask".

My dreamy job

In 2014 I took an internship in the museum of contemporany art called MAC, I was a student of 2º year in arts and always feel interest for the art history and exposicions in museums, so I thought that was a good idea do the internship.The experiencie was very good, my job consist in show the musum to the people, talk about the building or the exhibitions and any others things that the people what to ask, also I have to deal with the turist,(mostly brazilians  and americans, who obsiusly they not talk  spanish).
I remenber that one day an american start to askme about the place and the exhibitions and I started to talk very nervous and shame but he was very gentil and toldme: don't worry you are doit fine-. With that experiencie and others to, like the brazilian turist who started to looking for me only for thankme for helpher to found the exihibition that she whant to see, but the most priceless thing was help chilean people like me, because for more crazy that this sounds, the chilean people seems more lost in the museum that the turist, and thanks to that I understand that exist a big missing of culture teaching, for example I saw a lot os people who look around the museum and finish in five seconds their journey and leave, it was to sad I see that this people mostly was citizens and only a few familys tried to learn about the exhibitions and talking to ours, and then when this familys started to have confidence when they leave always thank us.

 The big problem about the museums of art is the missunderstanding in contemporany art in the people and thats is because the part of the history art that the mayor of the schools teach is the Renancentist art and when you shows to people who not are involve in art and you talk or shows them some contemporany art, they seems like not have seen somenthing like this, they not could understand and is the reason that the guides of the museums exist and that is why I like to work like a guide in the principals museums of Santiago or why not, the world, I would like that the people could ask whithout fear and besides that  like the contemporany art, also I like to be a curator of art for the same reason that I like to be a guide of museum, I like to be a interpreter between the artist and the spectator and with that the people can understand whty the art is so important and unique.

A classic one...

 

Scene one: A very lonely girl in an elegant black drees  walking around the empty streets of New York at 6.00 am, she walks in the streets like they was very familiars, with confidence and none sing of rush, suddenly she stops in a building most specifically in a jewelry store, she stands out like the jewels was a painting in a museum but also like an old friend, that old friend that invites you to sit and you can talk about your problems with a coffee and that’s help you to relax, that is the feeling that Holly Golightly was looking for and she old friend was Tiffany's  meanwhile she drinks some coffee an eats some sweet dough.


 That first scene of the movie Breakfast at tiffany’s is enough to love Audrey Hepburn and the character that she played a lonely party girl in a big city with a nameless cat. A must say that I also read de Book writing for Truman Capote and I will say something that never though before, the movie likes me more that the book, with all the respect that I have to the writer, I like more the holly Golightly in the movie that in the book.  Holly in the movie seems some lost girl a little innocent and charming but in the book, seems more mature and like a woman who understand the reality not a girl who not want to grow I not saying that the Holly in the book is a bad character but the Holly of the movie touch your heart. For some reason Truman wants that the character was playing by Marilyn Monroe but if she plays that character, Holly will be another person, not the lost girl that played Audrey Hepburn and I must say that she also gives the character some style, or not? Audrey could appear in some pajama’s or in a casual black pants with a T-shirt and still will be stylish, I apologize with the fans of Monroe but lest face that, the movie will not be the same without Audrey playing Holly. Anyway, for the people who has not seen this movie you should because is one of the 1001 movies that you should see before die (seriously this books exist).

catseverywere

The name of this blog( cats slepping everywere) have a reason and is becasuse in my life is full of cats slepping everywere and a will explain why. My mom works in a veterinary like a assitent, so is tipical that people who can't take care of the new babys of his pet try to abandon them in the veterinary.Sometimes the people is more creative in the way on how they tried to abandom, for example when my mom adopt our curly dog "jade"( yes I forgot to say that also I have two dogs) the ex owner brought her jade to a cut of hair(she has a very curly hair), but the owner never appears again, so jade was really bautifull with her new cut but homeless, so one day I go back to home and a found in the garden a new little doggy who starts to barking me and my mom saying: surprise!!, it  wasn´t a really surprise for me because thats "suprise" was happened like a million time before, since I was a kid, util we have a social  "social pyramid".


The cats are the royalty of the house, ther are kings of¨:the furniture  to file their paws, the kitchen for demand food, the bathroom like a amusement park for scracthing tolliet paper, the room of my dads like their room to sleep(the nine cats like to sleep in the bed of my dads or above them)and living room is transform every day at 20:00 in a dinner room in which every cat has his personal space to eat quietly his meal, but we have two cats( the oldest named Shakira and Simon) who has special meals, so one eats in the bathroom and the other in the room of my parents. The bad thing is when my dad start to prepare their meal meanwhile my cats figthing between them, for example one of the oldest,Simon, likes to fight with the other male cats like Felix or Pinpon, the more young named Rosita(she really is must named "Chotita") likes to fight with the most bullied of my cats, Ratatouille( She is the only cat that I love, a little, because she usually come to my room to refuge of the others cats and also everyone in the family thinks that shes the ugly one). I suposed that you now who are the other members of this social pyramid, I was saying that the cats are the royalty,obviously we are the servants and our dogs(Jade and Niña) are the forget ones. 
I will like to have a rabbit, but I afraid to have animals and then his multiplicate in the future, like my cats.

Carmina Burana

  The classical music is have been in my life since when I was a kid.My mom told me that when she was pregnant of me she just to play in her radio casset the concert of aranjuez, maybe since then  start to like me this tipe of music, also my dad studied music in the university so he teachme who to play instruments or who to sing.I remenber when I have eleven years old the music teacher give us a home work when we have to choose one piece of classical music and bring her the music in a cassette tape, so the day of the presentation everyone brought, the nine simphony or the four sesons and I bring pictures of a exihibition(thanks to my dad who helpme to choose thar piece). When it started my turn everyone in the class staey in silence even my teacher seems not recognize the piece. 

  A few years latter, I start to practice ballet, so one day a when to the municipal to wacth the saw lake, and I start to think that it will a very good present to go another time to see a concert with my dad because he like music more that food(like in the movie August Rush) , so I started to look in the web site of the municipal the next concerts and I found one call Carmina Burana, the name it sound me so familiar that I ask to my father I he told me that is a piece that he participe in the chorus when he was a student, with that information I thought that will be a great idea give to dad a tiket yo that concert like a christmas gif.
                                                
  In the beginig of december we go to the municipal to see Carmina Burana, It was the tipical december day a little gray but hot, so we enterin the lobby, full of people mostly adults, and  passing be one big red curtian  was the seats in the first flor and the balconys up side and in the corners around this  big and clasicc dome,meanwhile we aproching to ours seats we could hear the musicians tune up their instruments or as well the chorus tune up their voices. Was since the beniging to the end the best concert of classical music, I must say that the chorus have my speciall attencion more that the instruments, because the classical pieces always have instruments but voices is more unusual( at least was a religious piece).The power of that voices singing about the meaning of  a meanless live or the death aproching to that live or the passion missuderstod for love,  all this concepts was perfectly played for the chorus. When the concert end my dad seems I litlle moved not only with the concert also because he recognize one friend that he not see about ten years and who now was a soundman of the municipal, they talking a little and promess to share some beers.  Thats what the music is so special, because music can conect peolple, spite of the time.

The big apple

 Personally I´m not a fan of the "american culture", I dont understand why they call themself "american´s" or call their country  like that, also don´t share some of their politics like the free use to weapons, but I have to say that I like one part of this big country called United States, I think that I love New York.
All this love begins watching movies, more especific Breaksfast At Tiffanys, I like everything, but obviously the part of the movie when Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn), walk around the empty streets of New york  showing the arquitecture and a the city that never slepps in total calm  like the empty heart of holly, a person who is like the city, showing a lot of atractions, light and noisy but in the inside a city full of secrets and lonely that´s almost nostalgic. In other parts of the movie you can see, the public librery, one carrusell in a large park, the buildings, specially the home of holly, this olders buildings with an european anquitecture an thats "fire stairs" that help you most in social events to meet new people or run away when your´s own party bored you, also this little lokers in the entrance that you only can put one perfum and you lipstick instead your mail.

Also another thing that I like of new york is the snow, I know that exist other places in the world where also snow, but I like more the great view of the icerink of Central Park, all that people skating and the icerink illuminated with colorfull christmas lights, with that picture I totally will gone to the big apple on winter to enjoy the weather (for more crazy that sounds), I really like a snowing christmas.
Other thing that I like about  New York is that spite to America or United States is a country of mix cultures, the only city that you fell that more is in this city, because through the art history you can see that mostly of the contemporany art beggins in New York, I think that because of that mix of cultures pop art, perfomatic art and other arts, like dance or music was so important.
But the more I like about New york is  the infinite of possibilites.
