Study Programme

Hi! Today I am going to write about my career and some of the aspects that I would like to change about its curriculum and the way it is taught. First of all, I study graphic design and all my subjects are all graphic oriented ones. However, I have always thought that the first two years should have more general centered subjects and not so specific and focused on one or another speciality. For example, we could have subjects about colors, drawing, among others, because I think these kind of contents are universal and basic for the learning and development for a graphic or industrial designer as these are very important subjects within the design and art world.       

Regarding teachers, on the first year there are a lot of them who are rather old and they have more analog methods of teaching and don’t quite apply the content with the softwares that are being used today.                                                                                                                            

On the other side, the faculty infrastructure because it is very old and it’s very difficult for all the classmates to work in the same space at the same time when we are doing practical and manual work mostly. Besides the classrooms are sometimes flooded when it rains and some of them are in very bad shape, I also have seen rats running around where the industrial students do their works. It is a pity that the state of every faculty in the university depends on the income each faculty generates, because if we keep that policy, the more alternative and no so traditional careers are always going to be behind in terms of infrastructure. For example, FEN, which is right besides FAU, has a totally different reality, it has. A huge library, big study rooms and even a gym. There is an enormous contrast between both faculties and I feel that it shouldn’t be like that, but an egalitarian space for the students among all the faculties of Universidad de Chile regardless of the career.

My Hobbie!

Imagen
Hello! Today I am going to write about my hobbies, and I will do it through questions. Do you have any hobby? Since when have you done it? What are the positive and negative aspects of it? How much time do you spend on it? Do you do other things? My hobby always has been drawing and painting. I started painting with oleum when I was in primary and since then, I have always been painting and drawing and I think that from there my love for art and design was born. Through time I have improved little by little and taking classes and workshops. However, school and university classes have taken time to practice from me and nowadays I cant draw and paint as regularly as I´d like to, but still there are some days that I practice even though it is very little compared to old times. That is why I wouldn’t know how much time I dedicate to those activities because university life and work leave very little time for myself. I believe there are a lot of positives aspects in painting and drawing, li

My favorite subject this term.

My favorite subject this term in design is History and culture of Design.The teacher is Patricio Bascuñán. and the assistant is Gabriela. This class is about the history of design, art, and architecture. The teacher shows us the most important facts which changed the arts, design and architecture through human history. So basically, the theacher talks about it the whole class, but the way that he teaches it, is so cool. He participates with us almost as a friend, makes us be part of this class, asking what do we think about this topic. The main contents are basically the history of design, since this was created as a discipline, unite with art. Another important contents is the foundation of the Bauhaus, the house of design, architecture, and art. The interesting thing is that these contents happen within a historical context, like the evolution of humans beigns or the the First World War. I love this term because it is so interesting to know how the art and design was born,

Postgraduate Course!

Hello! How are you? Today I am going to talk about a postgraduate course I would like to take in the future. The future for me is a very uncertain thing, I have a lot of doubts about my vocation and about what I really want to do when I graduate. However, I would like a lot to study Color Theory and Art Theory, both applied to Design. I wish to go abroad, because in Chile there is not a lot of development regarding the Art Theory or Design field, therefore, I would take presential and full-time courses. I would like to do that because I have always liked that area, but I have never had the opportunity to research more deeply about it apart from books and some subjects at the university. I also have considered taking courses that contribute to my CV and that could help me work in different areas of Design, like photography, make-up, fashion, editorial, among other disciplines.   On the other hand, when I graduate from this career, I would like to study to be a veterinarian, as I have al
