A COUNTRY ´D LIKE TO VISIT

I have on my list many countries to visit and I think that if I could do it now it would be Turkey, I am attracted by its culture, its people, its history as an Ottoman Empire. I have read and visited some websites about this country and what I have seen has caught my attention. Istanbul, formerly Constantinople, is a city with many attraction that I could not miss, such as its mosques for their architecture, mainly Hagia Sophia, an orthodox cathedral and now a much visited museum.

To walk one afternoon by boat through the Bosboro, which divides the continent, with one foot in Asia and the other in Europe, does not make it attractive?


Also visit near Istanbul the Cotton Castle a place white earth terraces and that has thermal baths, wonderful!

Another visit not to be missed would be to  Cappadocia between mountains and lunar landscape and fly in those hot air balloons of different colors and see from the heights the sunrise, an unforgettable experience.

And finally, to visit the great bazaar to meet the people how they sell their products and to know if they are really good traders as they say. See those wonderful carpets that are woven on the loom.

My trip to Turkey would be just for pleasure, I would not like to live there, because there are 76 million inhabitants and I am not used to many people even though what they say are nice and hospitable people, they have good gastronomy, variety of sweets and good climate.

MY FUTURE JOB

Imagen
  Hello In this blog I would like to talk about my future once I finish studying, I personally I would like to do a master`s degrre in art history. I think that I have learned so far is much lees than what I should really handle as a tool in the art world. I`m no sure if l`ll do it immediately once I finish or wait a year to do it. I have in my plans to travel, more to acquire knowledge than to work in another country. Maybe I`lldo another masters degree if the economic forces allow it. On the other hand , I have already formed a family and my roots are here and that also limits me a little. On the other I have in mind to form a collective to make art exhibitions in different places, mainly in rural locations where there is not much cultural knowledge. Because everything moves in the big cities and places are left aside that due to connectivity problems do not know the artistic world.   Also  to have  art  workshop to teach all kinds of people who want to learn ...

CHANGES TO MY STUDY PROGRAM

I think the topic we are writing about now is quite interesting because it is a good time to remember the faculty. Today I'm in my fourth year of my Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts, a career that I love and enjoy very much, even though the academic load is often heavy, as it is now, when I have seven branches, because last year I had to postpone a semester for health reasons and I had  to postpone some  bouquets. I have 3 branches of workshop, which are painting, complementary to painting and drawing. The others are theoretical seminars related more to history and political contexts, philosophy and psychoanalysis. The other is a theoretical seminar related to history and political contexts, philosophy and psychoanalysis. More English that is as a general training branch.    Something very particular happened to me because the first two years I didn't enjoy it as much as I do now, because I felt like I had gone back to school with very basic activities and I felt a bit...

MY BEST HOLIDAYS

Imagen
Hello  It is difficult to choose which has been the best holidays I have ever lived, however there is very special one and that was when I traveled to Italy in December 2016 to spend Christmas in Florence. I had always been very conservative about the good night, always spending it at home and sharing it with family. This time was different, I was with my husband in a city that I always wanted to know, on the other side of the world with a very different rhythm of life than the one I had lived in previous year. I remembre that on the good night, after dinner, we went for a walk around the city, there was music in many corners and it was all lit up with  Christmas decorations, with many little papers tied ti its branches, they were wishes that the passers-by asked for. I found it wonderful!! This trip was planned with time and we wanted to get to know a lot in just 20 days.  We were in Florence for 6 days, visiting museums, churches, markets and walking the streets along t...
