English language challenges

Hi,
On the subject of today I can say that the topid of english in this faculty was a innovation, because before not exist English. In my case it was something special because I don´t say nothing in english, even say hello!! was difficult for me. For this motive I think that include english in the program is  good, but also is necessary learn english today. Respect of the blog is very useful because learn differents words and the vocabulary is perfected. Also in the blog I can write differents topic of my interest,I write of my work; and my family, my life, my experiences, etc, in several opportunities is very funny.

Regarding my issues that I need to improve English I think that study in some academy for example instituto de cultura británica or other institut because is necessary for my speak english perfect because this work , the art work, need that the artists communicate with persons of differents countries. My english is Little but in the school was terrible.  My talk is poor, but I have me faith in that I learn english very good. Also I would like travel for the world, apart of my work and his needs, my desire is travel for many places. The only language that is global, I am forced to learn English only for that reason, maybe if global language is French, I learn French, is very beautiful.

The other day for obligation I had to talk english with three curators of Croacia. For these reasons working I have to speak English much more than what I want, but still is very Little. The ideal is speak daily. In general how little I speak English is for work, and with art vocabulary.  I can say I don't speak English daily.

Thanks for reading my homework

Good and bad points

Hi, in my life exist differents good events that I value deeply. For example my relation with my aunt, she was genial, she died in 2010, but my memory with she is very important and beautiful, my aunt... Sandy was the best person, she taught me about the love and value of the life. My relation with my granmother and grandfather also was genial and important for me, my grandparents raised me, they were the best grandparents in the world, I grew up with them, they died . My sister is other important good thing that has happened to me in life, she is beautiful, is the motor of my existence. My mother is the best mother in the world and my father also. My boyfriend Victorsito is my partner, is the best, a great person, my best friend and my love. Really my life is good, with difficults but with much love.

Other important good point in my life is make art. The art is the other motor of my existence apart of my sister, my family and my boyfriend. The art is my need. I like create artworks, large installations with graphic elements. In my work I express my ideas and visual fixations. Is very important for me express my ideas especially of femele identity and my inside world. The art is my lifesaver.

I could say, that the death of my aunt and my grandparents is the bad point of my life, but my learning of they is the most important. I believe in God, and I know they are in a better place with God.

I believe that I have no debts with my life. I'm happy with my work, my family, my boyfriend, my creations of art, my faith in God, my spirituality. I want to enjoy life every second.

A petition

My boyfriend Victorsito asked me a favor. He asked me to write a text on his art work considering that  I want to go to study MA in art history and theory, and I need to strengthen my writing about works of art and artists. It is for this reason that I decided write about their artwork but in English.

Victor Hugo Bravo works with essentials elements along their artistic journey,  are elements formals; conceptuals and materials. Within the formal elements we see camouflage deployment in various forms that mutate in the history of his work. Other important formal element is the use of political icons, with graphic resources very powerful. Also  the using of abject images, of war, of death and erotic tendency.

Respect of the conceptual elements, exist differents concepts and inquests of possible senses that determine the work. A conceptual relation of the work is the link between father and government, rather between father and law or social institutions, as control statutes. This concepts are opposed into other concepts applied in the work as instinct and abject (abyecto). The work reflects the repression of the institution on the human instinct.

Respect of the material elements, the refuse and object of cull are the main elements that make up the work, with trash the artist creates large installations, the grand format of the works is another important feature, the most works in two and three dimensional include large space. The enamel is the principal paint that the artist uses for his work, with enamel the artist  generates a new "big toy" with camouflage, mental maps with a mixture of geography and camouflage and new installations with weapons of torture.

Environment

I don´t know where people learn to have a practice friendly for environment because not exists specific place where teach care for the environment. Maybe a little at school, but it is not important topic in Chilean education. I wish it was an important issue and that people be educated in the issue.

I incorporate recycling into my daily habits, in my building all the waste is classified, in this place I learned to select all for recycling later. Other form of recycling in my situation is to incorporate garbage in my art works,  this is very useful, because make the plástic work is cheap when using garbage rather discarded objects.

I do not walk by bike, but if I  walk a lot. I consider that  cycling is a good alternative for the health and the environment, but I feel afraid of the Bicycles.

 I don´t belong to any environmental group, but I support the cause for the environment, because our world is being damaged by our own hands, by our own irresponsibility.

 I would like that with  art the people understand the value of what we have, I like to do that  my artwork generate environmental awareness in people.

 At least I can say that I do not smoke, I don´t drive cars, I don´t use aerosols excessively, are the concerns that I have. What is missing in our society is education. The Education is the most important weapon to combat environmental problems, the only way is to teach people to care by the world and Nature.

mental health

Hi,
This topic is a problem worldwide. In my country differents persons endure schizophrenia . The schizophrenia is a illness very unhappy and complex. The persons are fragile in this situacion. Is very difficult have control about the symptons, are hallucinations and paranoia basically. The mental health is a topic that not interest for the government, the persons with mental illness not have support of government for heal his illness.

For understand this problem is important know all symptons of this persons with mental illness, specifically the schizophrenia. Apart of the hallucinations and paranoia also exist in little moments a disarray of the body. People with schizophrenia don't differentiate between reality and projection of your mind, they can believe things incredibly fantastic. The most serious problem is when there psychosis and they believe that are on the verge of death.

Another big problem are psychiatric hospitals or clinics. In this places in Chile still occupy electroshock, located in the same bedroom depressive and schizophrenic, regardless of the differences in disease. I read a book called: "La dieta de la muerte" (the death diet), the wrote a girl anorexic. This girl said in his book that saw when they placed electroshock to her roommate, and she suffered a threat that him would do the same  with she.

 It is the sad reality the world of mental health, the worst is that nobody cares solve anything for the benefit of patients of these diseases.
