Favorite subject: watching paintings


My favorite subject this semester is “Imagen y sociedad”. It is one of the subjects that we have with the cinema’s students. We have classes every Thursday at 9:15 in the morning. It is very early. The teacher is Javier Mateos.
The class is about looking for images and sees what there is behind. The teacher always talks about paintings, so it is very interesting because we have seen a lot of paintings and sculptures that tales stories: like catholic representation and sexual representation of images. So it is very important to know about History, that includes the Bible. No one knows a lot about that, so the teacher has to tell us some chapters.
Besides the teacher from Spain so he usually use concept that we are not used to hear. He has a classic way of teaching: he uses a power point with the paintings and sculptures, even it is no decorated. He complains every class because we don’t participate, but I like to hear him, more than being active.
 I have learned a lot about art history, mythology and references that I usually do not understand when I am watching a picture.


Ps: This could be us if we were studying in Paris.

    This teacher is the best! hahaha. I really like this class, painting and photos learn very much about history and how the image explains others things.

This is a picture from my class at school when I was five years old. I was in “kinder” in 2003. I don’t remember who took the picture. But I like it because we were children. The classroom is full with ugly drawings that we made and with a lot of different colors. Also, I like it because there are three girls that they are still my friends. It is funny to look us now because we are so different. Last year we found this photo and we laugh a lot, we didn’t remember we were together in that class but it was when we met. As well, it is funny the poses of the children, some of them look so happy and others angry or sad. I don’t remember all the names but I have some of them in the social medias and it is weird to see what they are becoming. I remember that one of the teacher’s name was Veronica and with my friends we used to sing 31 minutos .

Goodbye english 3

I thing the blog was a great idea, because we write a lot about things that we like, like our favorites movies, artists and what we are doing here at the university. I think we don’t have a lot of opportunities to do that, unless we really like to write. So, it has to be more like a personal experience. Personally, as it was an activity in a class I had to do it –if it was for my own I have never done it– and it was fun! Also, it is a way to know our classmate, a lot of them I don’t know them.   Besides it was in English so I had to find the way to do it in a simple way and I had learn a lot about this language. About the future, I would like to right about some experiences maybe, for example my best holidays or the first time I went to the beach. Or things that generates debate in the class, just because of the drama. The image has been made by Catalina Bu

Last week I start to paint with Chinese ink, last month with watercolor. I like to draw and paint. I start when I was a child. When I was eight, I was between the top ten in a contest of Redcompra, but I was so happy. My draw was a frog. I don’t do it always, it is only when I want to. I am always trying new techniques, like I said it before. But normally I draw with a normal pen, only when I really like something I paint it. I do it alone, also I like to do embroidery, but that I started last year. I think it is related, because I have to think a design, choose the colors and to think how it will be. I like it because, I don’t have to show it and it is not related with I am doing every day. So when I want to do something just to do it I paint or something like that. Maybe with the embroidery it is different, because I can make stuffs, like a pin, a case or a patch, just to decorate.
