Maca's Blog

My experience with this blog has been very entertaining and interesting😊. I've had a great time and I think it has helped me a lot in all this time, dedicating this extra time to English I think is quite helpful and it is also very nice to read and comment on the blogs of my classmates, to get to know them a little beyond the screen. I really enjoyed it because it's something I've never done before, and because it was fun to write about topics that I like. I think that for me it has more advantages than disadvantages, since I have enjoyed it, I can't really think of a disadvantage right now, just maybe that it takes a long time to think, plan and do, but anyway, for me it is more an advantage, since it is time invested in practicing and learning, and reading the blogs of my classmates. I honestly don't have any suggestions, it was really nice, maybe I even took the idea from the blog to use it constantly😂😂😂 so I hope the blog can continue💜 

 My favorite subject so far and this semester has been one of the most practical, and that is the engraving workshop. In class, we mainly review the progress of the work, as it is extremely important in practical workshops like this one, but we have also reviewed content to learn more about woodcut, such as works of artists in the area of engraving.This semester, we have mainly seen only one type of engraving, which is the Xylography, which is the carving on wood. Also, we look at important things such as the composition of the work and also analyze the type of support material, as this can vary, whether it is a piece of wood found in your backyard or something you bought at the stationery store. I have learned to work with woodworking tools called gouges, as well as tools and materials that I had never used before, such as letterpress ink or the variety of supports. I really like all of this this because it's something new that I had never done before this year, it's a new ch...

 Choosing a photo was quite difficult, but searching I came across these that were taken the same day, from a little trip we took with my friends in July 2019, more or less in winter vacations. We went to Lota, a small cove located about a few hours from Concepción.  This photo was taken by me, and you can see my friends walking towards a place that we went right after this photo, which were something like ruins, we climbed very high to a kind of abandoned building.  This a selfie from the same day, so I wanted to incorporate it as well.  The truth is that it was a very special day and a very special trip, that's why I chose this pictures, because it brings me back very nice memories,  and it takes me to a very happy place. Fun fact: I remember the day before, my friends cut my hair, which was a big change for me, and my friends encouraged me to do it, as I was a bit terrified 😂😅. We walked, toured and hiked a lot, did a lot of things and had a great...

 The truth is that planning my next vacation seems unreal😂😢, with the pandemic it's hard to dream of  a vacation But anyway, one wish I have for the future is that I plan to travel to Concepción at some point and if  I can, since I have my best friend there, the truth is that I haven't seen her for a few months, about three months , which for us is a lot😆, because before we saw each other more often since she lived here in the same region as me. I miss her a lot, so I hope to be able to travel there soon, since her birthday is also coming, in the middle of July (more or less in winter vacations☁), and I really wouldn't like to miss it, that's why I've been planning, but the truth is that it depends on the circumstances, and sadly, of the pandemic. this is us, some time ago😢💗 and apart from that I don't plan anything else, but with the quarantine, I really want to get out and travel to many, many places, being locked up makes me feel like this,so I'm lo...

Hello everyone! Well, when I was little, I remember that I wanted to be a veterinarian, because I loved animals and I loved to live with them, I wanted to help them, I even talked about this as my dream for the future in school. Eventually, though, I realized that I could help them in different ways. As I got older, I began to develop an attachment to all type of arts, music too, and crafts in school, I always loved it. So I started to get more into it over time, but as I got older everyone always said that it should be more of a hobby and not a job, so when I started the process of having to think about a college career, it was very difficult for me. So before deciding to study Visual Arts, I thought about many careers as an option, such as pedagogy, psychology, desing, photography and music (which also used to tell me that it was nothing more than a hobby), even astronomy and things that did not suit me at all, but in the end I decided to go for what I was passionate about and what I...

 Heyy!, today I am going to talk to you about headphones. Of any kind, lately I use them with bluetooth connection, since the input of my cell phone is bad, but I don't use them so much, because I prefer the others anyway, just for the fact that they don't use battery, and the shape of this it's more comfortable for me. So I use them more, when i have the possibility. I can't remember when I bought them, but it's been a long time. I use them constantly, to listen to music or watch series, that's why I like them, you can listen to everything better, with more detail, and as I like to listen to loud music (although moderately), these, as far as I know, the damage they produce is less, since the sound is not direct, and bothers less, because the others, when used for a prolonged period of time, produce a discomfort in my ear, and anyways these headphones sound much better.
