POST 5 : MY FUTURE JOB


 

I’ve spent almost all my life studying art. At this very moment I’m finishing a degree in Plastic Arts in the University of Chile. This year I finish the program and next year I will graduate with a thesis in which I’m working since the late two thousand nineteen. After graduating, I would like to take a post graduate degree in an European country such as Italy or Spain. I wonder that that will be an opportunity to have many exciting and interesting experiences. For four years I’ve been in the Bucci Gallery.  I’m the first young artist to be in this gallery. I’m constantly working, and they create proposals and artistic projects that open new possibilities to exhibit and make my work visible. In the future I want to exhibit abroad y become known in other countries because of my artworks and work methodology in which I address different art disciplines. At the same time, I’d like to be an art professor in the University of Chile and be able to transmit the students the passion that I feel for painting, photography, body painting, serigraphy, and dressing. I am a very versatile artist, so for me it would be extraordinary to work as Art Director in magazines and films. Art is my life, my day-to-day, and the expression of the self; for my there are no limits in my creativity.

Post 3 - A day to remember

Image
I have always been a pretty determined person. Nothing has come easy to me, but with my determination I achieve my goals. And I remember this day as an important day where work, effort and determination paid off.  I sent my portfolio with my work to the Bucci Gallery and got no answer. I really wanted to get into this gallery and I spent my time and insisted and kept sending my work and got no answer back.  Until one day they answered by email telling me that they were not interested. I could NOT take no for an answer. Atl least, I thought, I wanted to know the reason for this answer.  And so I got the director from the academy's number, Ennio Bucci. I armed myself with courage and phoned him. I remember telling him "I'm Maura Yazpad, I am an artist and a student at Universidad de Chile. I have dedicated my life to this and I am great at what I do. I want to be in your gallery".  He told me to send him my work, so I instantly sent him one of my most re...

BEST CONCERT EVER

Image
I remember as if it were yesterday, I was accompanied by my mother. There was a lot of noises in that place full of people, people of different nationalities, of different cultures, everyone was waiting for this singer to come out. It was Miguel Bose, one of my favorite artists.   The most incredible thing about this concert was that, when my mother bought the tickets for the concert, she was able to buy 2 VIP tickets, it was very special for me. I was speechless knowing that I was going to be able to be closer to this incredible artist and be able to fully enjoy his concert.   Something super curious happened to me in this concert, I realized that how one hears the version of the song on the radio or on digital media is very different than how one hears it the live version seeing the artist only a few meters away, it was unbelievable.   I realized that in a concert like this, not only one listens to the song live and direct but also lives it.   When the song ´´Moren...

POST 7: Changes to your Study Program

I study Plastic Arts in Universidad de Chile. In order to enter into this degree I had to do the basic cycle while I was in highschool. The basic cycle lasts four semesters y the degree lasts eight semesters plus one year for the thesis. When I got into this degree I realized that many of the classes I had on the basic cycle were repeated here. Like color, volume, even with the same teachers I had or sometimes the same assignments. I would like that to change, that the University validates these classes. By being in this degree, I also realized that the infrastructure in the Faculty is very poor. There aren't adequate spaces to work on and to learn comfortably. There are no resources specialized to the courses we have, for example for the painting class we didn't have good lighting, the floors were broken, there weren't enough easels or chairs available for all of the students to work comfortably. As far as methodologies in teaching goes, I would like that in the practical ...
