Post 1 A -> A Country I'd like to visit

Hi, I'am Lukas, today I'm gonna write about a country I'd like to visit on the near future.

I would like to visit Tibet, ubicated on the tibetan plateau. It is a conflict zone but I'm very interested on the process of that culture are living, actually being ocuppied by the chinese goberment with a resistence of the ancient people of the country that didn't allows the occupation of China.

In my opinion this is a great place to visit beacause there are a lot of things to study in that place like buddhism or the tibetan culture too.

If we talk about desires, I want to live there of course but this is not a time to decide that.

The last thing that I love from Tibet is the mountain, I've just want to climb and look the landscape, eat the food of the zone, feel the sensation of freezing, and disconnect my self of the world for a
moment.



Post 5 A -> Summer Plans

Hi, today I'm gonna write about my summer plans, ideas and possibilities of what to do in this holidays.

Lets think, first of all I'm planning to share with my family some time in our house, and make some activities like: to cook, see movies and go to the park. Probably I will try to clean all the house, and stay free and ready for February.

In the next weeks, I will study maths, some philophy and also theology, and on my free times take care of my plants, cat and my body.

For me the loneliness it's a big part of my life, even still having my girlfriend, so I  will go to the mountain and try to relax, read, feel the sun with her or alone.

In matter of visit places, I've planning to go some days to Vicuña in the North of Chile, and if I have luck I will visit Cordoba in Argentina on February.

I don't have plans to work by now, but I've probably will do on March. By now I want to take my time and take advantage of this time to do what I don't have time to do in the academic year.

I'm not planning to integrate my self to courses or activities on the city, I will probably go to de public library, museums, theatre and also if my girlfriend wants, go to the cinema.

That's all, good luck for everyone, have a nice holidays!

Post 4 A ->"Tv shows and series"

Hi, I'm Lukas, today I'm going to write about "Tv shows and series".

I need to confess that precisely I'm not a very big fan of tv, movies and series but there are a tv serie that I appreciate a lot, is called "Twin Peaks" from David Lynch.

It's purely anecdotic the plot of the serie, for me the thing that matters is what the serie symbolises. In this sense I find true interesting this serie beacause of the initiation that David Lynch propose for the viewer in terms of content, mystery,  and the question of god and devil.

Mostly I prefer series about mysteries and with movies the same, I find in that genre a comfortable space to think and enjoy.

I don't know if I want to see a serie right now, I' didn't have any on my list to do, I just prefer to wait and just let flow the thing, sometimes a friend recommends to you a serie so you decide if you see it or not, what I want to say is that I wait for recommendations.

On the last thing I need to tell you that I feel that books keep the secret of mysteries and the series open it, and in that process all the magic is losted, that's the reason beacause I' try to avoid series and movies and focus more on books, at the end, every serie and movie are based on some book or myth and I find my truly interest in that area.

Post 3 A -> Academic challenges in 2020

Hi, today I'm going to talk about my career in university, visual arts degree on Universidad de Chile.

Its an academic degree of arts, focused on the development of skills, think and planing the creation of potencial work of art, that means that as student you have the liberty to propose, experiment, do, or even not do in the direction to give a reflection, opinion, or a critic integrating aesthetic, space, colour, time, and context.

Sounds great as an abstract but on reality the student suffers a lot of little problems that over time they form a snowball.

In terms of the curriculum, at the first years the student of arts are introduced in general terms on matters like drawing, colour and theory of arts and history, and every year that you advance on the level, became more complex but with a very big problem, the evaluations.

The real, and big problem of the study of visual arts is the process of evaluation. ¿How you should evaluate an art work?, yes, it is complex.

About the time of the career I think it's ok, five years, the arts in general need time for a good result, the question is the efficiency of time on the career, we spend a lot of time on subjects that aren't related to art, like politics for example.

And in the last item we have the material conditions of the faculty, ok, are very bad, the question is, are we going to focus are efforts on the space or the contents that we learn on that build?.

In my opinion there are a lot of thing that need to change on the faculty of visual arts but, nothing will make a real change if we don't change how we see the problem of education in terms of contents and evaluations.

Post 2 A -> My best holidays

Hi, I'm Lukas, now im going to talk about my favourite holiday ever lived.

It happens when I was a child. I have twelve years old and my mom decided to invert a lot of money on a special vacation with me and my little sister Isadora. She planned a lot of time this travel and also she make all the "logistics" food, transport, places to visit, museums etc. The place that we are going to go was Europe, not all of course but a tour for the principal country's that are connected with train or bus.s

So, sound exciting huh?. But, we have a little bit problems to resolve after going to the trip. My father don't want to let us go. Principally because he had fear, and he was divorced with my mom so he don't give us the permission. After a lot of discussions and a little litigation we get the legal permission by the law to go to Europe.

Now, after that introduction im going to talk about the most important places that we have visited,

The first place that we visited was Barcelona. We stayed there two days or more, I don't remember very well, but I can recall the exciting experience of the night. There was place called Las Ramblas, I don't now a similar place to illustrate you but keep with the idea of a lot of markets, visual artists, musicians, drug dealers, prostitutes, vagabonds, people of all countries and social classes conviving in the same place, a place in where the differences of all doesn't matter, you could interact with all as an equal.

In second point, I will talk about Italy, specially about Rome.

Rome, was the place of madness. I remember to look a car, parked in a extrange way, crossed on the middle of 3 parking slots. The police passes and they didn't put an admonition. They live in a state of uncontrol. They live well I guess, but when you walk around the city and see all the cars, bikes, etc. You question to you: "¿How can they live?". Well, I think we all are mad in some ways. But out of that, Rome was imposing, truly interesting in terms of history. The place that I most remember is the Roman Coliseum, a truly big piece of architecture to see and to realize all the blood that ran in that place.

To finish, I will talk to you about the Rhein, a river that crosses most of Deutschland. It's a special place with a lot of towns, places to walk around and submerge in the myths of that part of the world. The part that I most loved was the rain, a lot of rain and sometimes a big sun that illuminates some little spaces that the sky leaves without clouds, truly shocking. I think that I was a child so, probably I'm putting some sauce on the history hahaha.

Ok, that's a little bit of the trip but very important.

Good luck for all.
