A job that I would like to do

Biology :D

From north to south

I have traveled a lot and I have met many people on my trips. But the best was my last holiday. I went backpacking with two friends. I decided  to do this trip  to collect photographs for my thesis and my friends helped me. 

We took a plane to Arica on January 6. Our trip along Chile started  here. Our mission was to go to Punta Arenas in two months. I really enjoyed the road trips in trucks and  family cars that picked us up in the middle of nowhere.

I visited many places, I met many people and I had many experiences. The people were very nice, they  invited us to their homes and gave us a lot of delicious food. 

What I liked the most was when we camped in the desert. The sky!!! Ohhh I loved it! No one was nearby, we were alone in the middle of nowhere, 130km away from the nearest town, with 4 L of water and without phone signal. We climbed a hill and took beautiful photos of the full moon. We listened to Pink Floyd and smoked weed haha. It was a perfect moment.  

Next day we went down the hill and hitchhiked thinking that we would wait for many hours, but the first truck picked us up and we went to the next pont in the map. :) 

My friends always told me that I was crazy for asking the driver to leave us in the middle of nowhere, but I wanted to take landscape photographs, so I wanted to stay in beautufull and dangerous places hahaha It is more exciting that way, right?  

Japan!! the sunrise country

I really want to go to Japan in the future. In fact I hope to go soon, because now I'm applying for an exchange. I want go to study arts at Tsukuba University. If I go, I will take four courses, japanese style painting (Nihonga), carving and modeling, Sho-calligraphy art (how write kanji beautifully) and western stile painting. I am really nervous for the trip :SSS

Also I want to go to learn japanese language. The language is not so difficult but kanji is the worst hahahaha. Japanese has three ways of writing, kanji, hiragana and katakana. I started to learn hiragana and katakana alphabet last year with a game called "Learn Japanese to survive". This game was very fun to play. It's an rpg game where the characters fight with the hiragana warriors hahaha. 

I started to like Japan when I was a child. Since I have memory, I liked anime series and movies. For this reason I began watching anime series while I paint and in some strange way I began to understand more and more japanese hahaha, because of this I really want to go next year and visit the country that I like so much. 

My last blog (NOP)

My experience with this blog was a little disappointing. Because I didn’t manage to do this in the time required. This semester I couldn’t put all my attention in the English class. For this reason I apologize to the teacher. 

However, if I put aside that this blog is an evaluated exercise, I really liked to write about the topics that the teacher asked. I think that I wrote this blog in a very personal way. Every blog that I wrote, I did with time and dedication, writing my personal experiences and opening my life to the blog. I think that I could wrote more freely, because I wrote this blog so late and no classmates could read this.

I really liked writing the blog. I take this like a personal diary where I talk about me and my experiences.

I hope that my teacher likes this blog and that she has compassion for me hahaha. This semester I had many difficulties in university. I had to do many assignments after I took a year off because of my health problems. It was very hard to do.

My favourite food.

My favourite food is sushi!!! My boyfriend and I order food twice a week. Most of the time we order sushi. We frequently call Kyo Sushi restaurant, to the point that they know us and ask if we want the same as always hahaha. We always order 24 pieces of mushrooms and cream cheese wrapped in tempura. My boyfriend likes to eat with soy sauce and I prefer teriyaki sauce. 

Since we order food every time, the delivery man knows me and he says hi to me in the street. It is very funny when I meet him, because he honks his motorcycle’s horn every time that he sees me. 

Sushi is really delicious. I love japanese culture and eating their food. My favourite sushi is with shrimp. I like hosomaki sushi, because it's simple and delicious. Also I love hot rolls, they are rolls wrapped in tempura and these sushi rolls are our favorite with my boyfriend. Other sushi that is really good but not all people like, is sashimi sushi. This sushi consists of fresh raw fish with a great texture and a light taste.

Naked body.

This semester I really liked to study the naked body. It’s a topic that I enjoy because when I was starting in art, I dabbled into the shape of the body. It’s great to see the body through the eyes of an artist and not like a sexual object. When I studied the body and its color, curves and gestures. I understand that the body is an object of art and contemplation. I abandoned the thought of the body as a sexual object and I started to see it as an object of artistic expression. 

In painting class, we started to study the body in a distorted way. My professor told us that we must paint a fragmented body. In this way, we can focus on painting the texture of the skin, leaving aside the shape. I think this is a great way of learning, because the texture is the most difficult part to make. If you manage to translate the texture without the context of the shape, you can say that you are a good painter. 

I really enjoy painting and learning many forms of techniques. I hope when I find my way of painting, people will like it and love my artwork.
