How to link Art Studies with our personal lives?

 

Of all the posts this is the one that is most difficult for me, because I did not know how to answer it and I had to reflect a lot to start.

Well first of all, I think that the art and the personal life of a person are closely related, they are part of the same, because the facts that a person experiences in their daily life, their routine, their fears, their desires and everything, shape a person and that person lives art based on this, because in art they can reflect and look at their own emotions, their own feelings, they can feel through art and in turn art comes from there, from everything that people experiment in their daily lives, because regardless of the type of art that is made, there will always be something of the person and everything that is typical of a person comes from their personal life.

Knowing all of the above, I would say that it is something that each person has their own way of doing, because each person has their own times, responsibilities, interests and wills.

On the other hand, perhaps being more specific about ‘arts studies’ it seems to me that everything I’m learning I can go looking for how to incorporate it into my tools and relate everything to get more out of it.

Personally, everything I have been learning about music and technology I am incorporating into my ways of making music, and the reflections made in classes I try to process them as much as possible and if these produce a change in my perspective on the world, I will gradually incorporate them. I also try to get into the art world meeting people, relating to people who are also interested in the same to have variety and learn more, because all those things contribute both to you as a person and also to you as a professional future.

In this aspect, something that was very useful for me was joining the team of a cultural center of the university where I could develop more and apply things that I have learned and also meet people who have taught me a lot in various aspects and have given me a look at how It is the world working on art in Chile, I also made wonderful friends there who still accompany me and with whom we have professional plans for the future, which I find very valuable.

In short, I think that in reality art studies and personal life are something that in themselves are linked, but it seems to me that you have to work a lot and get into the subject for everything to work out.

My future job

Well, this is a complex issue because there may be many expectations, but the reality may end up being different, especially in this country, but here we go. I would like to work in a film production company, maybe one of my own made with friends because art it’s something that unites us and I think a job like that would be the most enjoyable for me.

I imagine us very stressed trying to do projects with what we have, but enjoying in the long run because it is what we like, I imagine us always dreaming of doing new things and letting go our creativity with every role we play. Being such an independent job, we should probably have a small studio where to work and where the implements are, it would be a very pretty and comfy home studio, I think. We would spend traveling from one place to another and I would like that very much (always as far as possible).

Although I don't really think of it only as cinematography, I would like it to go further and do all kinds of audiovisual projects or even games, for my part I am studying sound engineering and I plan to specialize in music and audiovisual production, because of In this way I could also contribute what is necessary to the audio of the projects, hopefully music because it is something that I enjoy doing a lot. On the other hand I have friends who study animation and cinematography , so I think that from there and with the classmates of each one We could put together something cool, or so I want to believe that 😊.

My Pet

Sandy is my pet and she is a cat (I think). In September of last year, I finally convinced my mother to have a cat (years of trying), and I looked in Facebook groups where many people said no because I did not have a window screen, but after a while searching I found a guy who gave up a kitten because he couldn’t take care of her, so I adopted her. She was very scared on the way, it made me very sad, she only meowed and showed fear, when I got home I let her explore, at first she just stays in corners and dark places, but little by little she began to discover more and more and bring out his instinctive playful side.

She is a yellow / orange cat with gray green eyes, she is very very affectionate and lovely, she really needs too much affection and company (like me XD), she was so naughty, but now she behaves better, she likes to watch videos of birds on YouTube and sit on my legs when I am in class. She likes the warmth and whenever she doesn’t sleep with me, she sleeps in funny places around the house. She is named Sandy because one of my favorites songs is named like that.

She is really very important to my life because my mother works all day, so I am alone all day, but now she keeps me company and fills me with love, the house no longer feels lonely at all with the sounds of her antics and their meows looking for attention.

Quarantine Hobbies

Well, in this quarantine I took the opportunity to make things that I have always wanted to do, like taking care of new plants in my room. My grandmother has always had a big and beautiful garden full of plants to which she dedicates most of her time taking care of them, in fact, she told me that she has been 60 years taking care of the same garden and it had been improved over all this years, so I think because of all this I have always loved plants.

I thought a lot about buying a new plant but I never took the initiative, but the most beautiful and awesome person that I know decided to gave me some wonderful plants so I started to take care of them. At the beginning it was difficult, I didn’t know exactly  what to do and internet doesn’t always give the correct information, so little by little I learned to take care of them in a better way so I also started buying more cute plants and my mom gave me another. She also likes plants very much and she has a lot of them in his balcony but I think that she should water them more (XD), despite that she has taught me a lot about plants.

I have also tried planting chia, but it has not worked for me, the first time because I planted them badly and the second time because I left them in charge of my mother for a few days when I stayed outside and she forgot to water them (XD).

It has been a very pleasant experience and I have managed to make some of them bloom very beautiful, I hope the bedroom garden does not stop growing.

The best concert ever

In April two years ago, at the national stadium on a day that was supposed to be rainy, me and my group of frinds, with whom we also have a band, went to see Radiohead at the SUE festival where Flying Lotus and a local band named Follkzoid also played.

Radiohead is a British band formed in 1985 made up of Thom Yorke (voice, guitar, piano), Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, keyboards, other instruments), Ed O'Brien (guitar, second voice), Colin Greenwood (bass, keyboards) and Phil Selway (drums, percussion), their music I don’t think can be classified under a specific genre, because throughout their history they have explored many styles and sounds, which I think is the most wonderful.

The day of the event was beautiful, the music was loud (but not enough), we had been queuing since early and we made a couple of friends with whom we shared food, the presentation was amazing, we all cried a lot, everything was very catarchical and the visual were so accurate, it was an unforgettable day that confirmed my love for music and partly caused me to change my career, that night all the songs resounded in my body, I never slept so well.

A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT

Dreaming is part of our reality so I will not limit myself to talk about it. I would like to visit Japan mainly because I am bit obsessed with the aesthetics of its rural and urban landscapes, its decoration, its details and everything that has been formed there for years.

Japan is a country in Asia located in an archipelago made up of many many islands, currently they are an important cultural power, and its capital, Tokyo, is the largest city in the world.

If I went to that place I would like to walk as much as possible and see all the places I can, see the sunset from beautiful places, go to an under concert of a local band, go to the mountains, temples, meet people and cuddle animals.

I would probably like to live there, although it is difficult to say without having done so, I would love to be able to have a good life in such a beautiful place (for me), I would like to live in a small town more than in the city, but of course it would have its difficulties, already we will see what the future holds for us.
