How can my major make the world a better place?

 Hello everyone, welcome to my blog!

Today I'll write about how my major can make the world a better place.

To talk about this topic first, I must say that I study Theory and History of Art. In my opinion, this major definitely can affect the world and in a positive way.  I think that my major can have a positive effect on the world because it can contribute to the promotion of art and culture and also to heritage conservation. In my opinion, that is very important because it will allow for the formation of  people's identity. I also think that my major is positive for the world because it can make known relevant information that can contribute to other disciplines like anthropology.

And about that how I see myself in the process, I see myself promoting the culture and the arts through education. In my opinion, it's so important the students receive a good arts education at school so that the students can develop their sensibility and their capacity for expression. In my case, I didn't receive a good art education in school; for that, I hope I can help to make art more accessible to people.


Thank you very much for taking the time to read this post :)

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 pandem...

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 tim...

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 pr...
