Hello everyone!

Today I will talk about “Changes to my study programme”.

The truth is that I like my actual curriculum. We have the possibility to choose an area to specialize and, since third grade, another workshop to complement. Now the new generations can choose three different specialties, but I think it’s too much academic load. Also, in their first and second year, they won’t have alternative subjects like analog photography, collage or digital image.

In both cases, the university consumes all your time. It´s difficult take a break and do another activity, you don´t stop wondering Do I really have time? Shouldn’t I be working? I think that teachers should be realistic with the number of evaluations and the lead time. 


 

 
 

About workload and length of studies, it seems to me that the number of subjects and semesters is fine. I can only emphasize the importance of setting deadlines and other details with students.

In the other hand, physical conditions of the faculty are a great topic, I don’t know where to begin. First of all, the rooms are not big enough to work comfortably or install our artworks during the exams.  In second place, the ceilings are asbestos (a carcinogenic material) and have a lot of leaks. The non-asbestos roofs were damaged in the pandemic, so the cafeteria, the auditorium and the library are closed.  Thirdly, there are devices in bad shape like the kilns, lockers or easels.  Fourthly, we need more technological gadgets like projectors in all the rooms or computers with the most common systems in the library.

Finally, I think that teachers should also have a pedagogy degree because many of them are great artists but they don’t know how to teach or deal with the students properly.

    It is true that with the change of assignments the academic load is more intense, I like the previous curriculum

    as always, infrastructure will always be an important issue, and I think it is true that there are teachers who do not know how to treat their students with the same respect they deserve.

  Hello everyone! Finally, I will share with you my experience writing blogs and learning English at university. Before to course this subject, I had many doubts Will I be able to speak English in class? Will I be able to understand the instructions?   Also, I was afraid of having a very low level of English in relation to my classmates. However, after the first class I noticed that it was not so terrible, I understand what the teacher said and I could introduce myself. The blogs have been a great opportunity to learn more vocabulary about different topics like movies, travels, our careers, etc. At the beginning, I took a long time to write each post, but with the passage of the weeks, I gained more confidence and it took me less time.   A good advice to practice is to write a diary, for example, you can talk about what you do in the day, the books you read or the TV series you watched. I need to improve my listening and speaking skills. For the first, I could ...

  Hello everyone! The topic of this week is my favourite movie. I like to watch movies but I have not seen many. My favourite genre is fantasy, I love to see a different world building, original settings and clothing. An example of this type of movies are Harry Potter series, however, I had to admit that I prefer the books.     My least favourite genre is horror. I can’t watch horror movies because it scared me so much. When I was a child me and my cousins saw Mama , I got traumatized. The movie was about two sisters who lived a long time in a forest raised by a ghost. Years later, the girls were living with their uncles. The ghost never left them because, in life, she was a woman who scaped from a sanatorium to recover her daughter, but both died in the attempt. Now, the phantom is angry because the older sister spends more time with her aunt.   I’m getting scared writing this review so I will change the subject. Finally, my favourite movies are from Pi...

  Hello everyone! Today I will talk about Postgraduate Studies. Masters and doctorates are great opportunities to learn and improve in an area of your career.   Also, if you have postgraduate studies, you will have more chances to get a job. In my school days, I wanted to study Arts, take a restoration course and do a Master in Museology. In the first year of the career, I realized that restoration and museology are areas that require a lot of responsibility and I don’t feel able to follow that path.      In the other hand, I have been working on a mentoring program during this year. It’s been a good experience, I love sharing information, resolve doubts and talk with other students. For this reason, I want to do the Master in Visual Arts, with that degree, you are able to be a teacher in our university.      If I did other masters or a doctorate, I would like to study in another country or, alternatively, with distance learning. I have ...
