A photograph and its story

 Hello Everyone. Welcome to my blog!

Today I'll write about a photograph of my dog and its story.

This photograph shows my first pet, Gaspar, when he was a puppy. This photograph was taken by me, with the camera of my grandfather in 2009. He always let me play with his camera (I think that he thought that the camera had no film). This day, when I took the photo, I was with Gaspar in the courtyard of my grandparents' house. He posed next to the plants while I was standing in the doorframe. I took so many photographs of my grandparents' house that I finished the film, but I don't remember if I finished it  that day or later. One day I stopped playing with the camera, and it goes stored away for ten years until my grandfather told me that there was a film to be developed. The truth is that I didn't remember which photographs were on the film, in fact, I didn't know that I had taken  those photographs. So I was moved very much when I saw the photos for the first time because they made me remember good and beautiful moments of my childhood, but when I saw Gaspar's photograph, he had already passed away, so I felt some sadness when I saw it.

    I love this photograph because it's the only photo of Gaspar when he was a puppy. I also love this photograph because, always that I see it, I remember my childhood, the afternoons that I spent with my grandparents, and the vitality that they had.

    What a nice story about that photo, it's really cool that after ten years you were able to develop the photo, it's like opening a memory box, but you didn't know you had. Unbelievable. Gaspar's memory is being well remembered. Have that for sure.

How safe is to give your personal information on websites?

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog.      Today I`m going to write about websites and social networks. About this, I think that social networks and websites are not a safe place to give out our personal information, because, the information is available to all users, and someone can use our information to defraud us or defraud another person. On top of that, if we put our address or  intimate information on our social networks we run the risk that someone damages our physical integrity.      In my case, I`m careful to keep my privacy on the internet; I use two social networks and I don`t talk with strangers; and  for safety, I don´t put my address, my phone number or another type of information, like my date of birth, on my social networks. That is my limit. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this blog :) Francisca Contreras M.

A subject I've enjoyed studying this semester

 Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. Today I'll write about a subject I've enjoyed studying this semester. One of the subjects that I've most enjoyed in this first semester has been Aesthetics and Artistic Modernity. Generally, what we did in class was analyzed texts and artworks to understand modern poetic and aesthetic debates of the period. For that, we analyzed with the teacher, authors like   Edgar Allan Poe, Paul Valéry, Guy de Maupassant, and one of the most important, Charles Baudelaire with his text  The Painter of Modern Life;  and also artworks like The Balcony, Luncheon on the Grass  by Manet, and The Orchestra at the Opera by Degas. In summary, the main contents that we have seen are modernity, literature, and artworks of modernity. And about why I liked this subject I can say that I liked it because, quite simply, I think it is a fascinating topic. This subject helped me to understand the art production after modernity; for example, the artistic production of

Why did I choose my major?

 Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog Today I`ll write about my major: Theory and History of Art. First, Let me tell you about my dream job when I was a child. When I was six or seven years old, I dreamed of becoming an astronomer, and explore the universe, like many children. Then, when I grew up,  I was very interested in  psychology and, it was one of my options to study because I wanted to understand the human being. But then I understood that I could also understand the human being through art, and for that, I`m studying Theory and History of Art at the University of Chile (this is my third year studying). I choose my major because, in my opinion, art is interesting, and understand it can help us to understand other things about the  human being. Apart from this, I hope I can help to make art more accessible to people. Finally, my experience at the university  has been good; the teachers are good, and the content they teach is interesting; however, the pandemic has prevented us from
