Well, It's really difficult to me to decide for just one place, because I would love to visit every single part of this world, and maybe some others worlds too... I think that whoever has done this world, It was made for see it. It's really important to know how other people live, to see others cultures, so that's why I always watch this tv shows about traveling...I can't help it.

But, If someone says to me "tell me one place and I will send you there", I think I would probably choose somewhere in Latin America, somewhere like Brazil. I like it because It's a huge country with a lot to see. In some aspects I think It's very similar to our country, but, at the same time, It's very different. I would like to visit it because I think It's one of the most interesting place in South America.

I would like to know people, maybe learn some of their language, to see their traditions, the Carnival, their beaches. Also I would like to know the "favelas", to see how they live, what they do for living... I know It's very dangerous, but I would go there with a lot of respect, because I imagine that they don't trust in people who came from other countries. Although, I think that what happens in the "favelas" is not that much different that what happens in some "poblaciones" here in Santiago.

Also, I think I would like to know the amazon jungle, but not so deep, because some insects and animals make me nervous, actually a lot of insects make me nervous.

I really would like to travel all the country, It's very big, so I suppose I would stay there like a month or maybe two so I can have the time to know the entire country.

Raindance film festival

17th independent film festival is going to take place in London, from 30 september to 11 october. This indie festival includes films with uncommon and original stories, and some of them with sex and violence in it. There are 75 feautes and 150 shortcuts on show, and there are also a few documentaries, one of wich is about the raise of acid house culture. The festival includes directors and films from USA, Japan and Great Britain.

This year the festival is also opening a "Raindance film cafe" to promote events during the festival.

I chose this news because I found it very interesting. I really like independent movies, directors shoot what they really feel, whithout thinking of sale the film, they just do wathever they want to do, and some of them are brilliant. This movies are just so honest and real, and at the same time can be entertaining and funny. I enjoy watching this kind of movies, it's like they open a totally creative and original world just for you... It's really great!

Assignment 2

Music for the Journey

I have been thinking on my favourite piece of technology and it's my

mp3 player, actually it's a mp4 player because you can see videos

and pictures, but I don't use that very much, I only listen to music.

I call it "flaipod" because it's not an ipod but it looks like one. I got

it last christmas, it was a gift from my cousin, it was the best gift

because the one that I had before stop working and no one knows

why, so I really needed one. I use it almost every day in my travel

to school and in my way back home.I really suffer when I run out

of battery because I have to spend my whole journey, one hour 

and a half, listen to my mind, it's not that bad, but sometimes I

get bored of my thoughs and I need to listen to music.

I'm not a big fan of technology, in fact I think I can live without it,

but I have to accept that it makes life a little easier, although I

think it's going to fast, and it will reach a point in which everything

will be made by machines and it will not be necessary to use our

hands, I really, deeply hope it never happens, I think I prefer to be

dead.

Assignment 1...

It's really hard to decide for just one subject, because this year we had the oportunity to choose our own subjects and I like it all of them, but I think one of my favourite is Screen-printing or Serigraphy. It's a printing technique in which you can use an  image, a picture and even a draw made by yourself, and you can print in a lots of materials, such as paper, plastics, textils, and the result is great! Francisco Sanfuentes is our teacher. I knew him last year because he was my draw class teacher. He is an excellent teacher, it shows he likes what he does, he's very nice, I like him. For me Serigraphy has not been a completely new experience, I knew a little about the technique before, last year I went into the workshop in our school and I learned some things.

So far, we had experiment with materials and It was great because you never know how is going to be the result, and also we had printed one image in black, honestly I didn't like much that image, but I hope do better works.

I like this subject because It's great what you can do with an image, and colours...

O.o
