Post 10 - Evaluating your Blogging Experience

Hello everyone

This is the last post and for the last task I have to talk about the experience with the blog sessions. 

To be honest, this course was fun. The idea of a blog is a good way to force ourselfs to write in english. The topics of the blogs are things that we talk everyday or at least we have give an opinion about it, thing that are already interesting to us. It's not a tourture to talk about my hobbies or things that I like. Except blog 7 and 9, it wasn't my favorite topics

I think I'm more comfortable writing now. For years I've always tried to write more in english, or at least more than 2 sentences, with poor results since I wasn't confident enough. I'm always afraid to say or write something wrong, so I always keeped the Google translator open in another tab of the browser to assure that I wasn't saying something stupid. Now I just use it to search for words that I don't know how to translate in english. I think that is a step forward in the right direction.

I would include in this course a little more of listening and a lot more of speaking. Those activities are equally important as writing. We only speak in the oral presentation and now in the exam with only 2 classes to practice. Of course we have to talk when we participate in class, but it's not enough. I think if we have more of those activities it will be better to build confidence in a lot of people.

Lastly, it's a shame that we didn't have an animal topic or talk about our pets. I wanted to talk about my cat and my hedgehog.

I think that all for the year. Farewall, my fellows.

Post 9 - Back to the future

hello everyone,

Todays task is talk about time traveling. If I have to choose, I would travel to the future. It's kind of scary, but I want to know what would happen to us. Maybe I can learn something that would change everything and change to another reality.

It's not like I'm not interested in going back to the past, but I have learned from books and movies that if I change things in the past, my present would be different, so no thank you. I like things like they are now. On the other hand, I would travel to the past just as a viewer, like a ghost or something like that, and just watch things to happend, and how did it happend. Learn a little more of errors, maybe.

If I could go back and live in a different period of time, I would live in any period that I could be a princess. Just for a week. It would be a vacation with less technology. Maybe something with dresses and the corsets. Not be able to breathe with a lot of people that smells really bad sounds like awesome vacations. 

I like 2017 and all the facilities that are aviable.

ok, bye.

Post 8 - A subject I've enjoyed this semester

Hello everybody

Today task is difficult to me because I don't really like the subjects I have right now, except english of course (wink wink nod nod). But all jokes aside, I think Drawing is the one that I really like. 

Last year it was boring as hell because I had to draw chairs all the time, but this year is all about human body and I love it. Since we already know how to draw things with volume, you have to use the same rules to build a body. Spoiler alert: it's harder, just because in your brain you have a specific picture of how a face or a hand looks like, but the real thing is not like that. You have to learn how to see again. That person in front of you doesn't look like a anime character or a disney princess.

I like Drawing because my teacher likes experimental things, meaning that we can do whatever we want. I've been experimenting with walnut extract using brushes or sponges, now I'm drawing with clay. I know is weird, but really fun.

That's all for today. See you next time.

Post 7 Expert in my field

Hi everybody

I really don't know a lot of sculpure artist, but I really love miniatures and people playing with the infinite thing you can do with them and a camera. So, today I will talk about an artist that his work is about combining this two topics.

Tanaka Tatsuya is a japanese photographer born in 1981. And that's all the information that internet can give me about him. His work is about miniatures and recreating scenes with famous characters, like Mario or Gokú. Nowadays, his catching everybody's eyes with his miniatures that are placed in elements of everyday life to make amazing and creative scenes.

I like his work because of the simplicity, he gives an object a whole new significance as if I can see this world from the perspective of a tiny person. This little people use our objects in a completly different way to fit whatever they want or need to do. And, you know, it's kind of adorable see all this smalls things.  

See you in the next post.
