CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAMME

For me the teaching method in the career of visual arts of the University of Chile is unique in comparison to the other academic careers .

I feel free because i have the power for important decisions, for example i decide my principal class among a variety of options, if I would like to study painting or experimental art (as is my case), I can decide on a variety of workshops that teach the same "material" but in different ways.

And there are many workshops, you can do casting, goldsmithing, etching, pottery, and many more!

The workload is relative, it depends on own initiative, this has a good side and a bad side, because people take advantage of this, to work less.
It is important to manage time independently, especially in the art world, but some student need more guided classes.

 But i can also talk about many things that are missing or that do not work properly, such as the infrastructure; that every time it rains the rooms are wet inside, in addition, some workshops require safety conditions that are not available, and this is very dangerous. There isn't a rigorous maintenance of the tools, most of them are broken for lack of maintenance, and that damages our possibilities of a good condition for work; and thinking in the amount of money that students pay, this is a intolerable situation.

 The truth is that I don't believe that the university has the importance that people give it,but perhaps is a generational thing. At the same time its a fact university is a business in our country and i feel that is another mechanism of control that system needs, that only wants to tie us to its logic.
