So many changes pls

Change is a topic that is always discussed among students in this programme. Well, everyone has thought about a change that they would like to make in Plastic Arts. On the one hand, the most critical aspect is related to facilities. Our faculty has quite bad conditions in its structure, materials and building in general. In our career there are many workshops, such as those of  ceramics, photography, painting, engraving, among others.  Although they are large workshops, they lack many implements or there are devices that are in poor condition. For example, I work in the photography workshop. There are two rooms for this, one for analog photography and the other for digital photography. The analog photography workshop is used to develop rolls and photos. For this, various chemicals and a machine called an enlarger  are used to develop the photo. As we work with chemicals, the room should have an exhaust fan to prevent us from breathing in these chemicals. However, it ...

However, I believe that abortion should be legal in any circumstance.  On the one hand, when we talk about abortion, we also talk about the sexual and reproductive rights of a society, mainly of women. And this set of rights is linked to human rights, such as the right to health, to individual freedom or to live free from abuse.

Women are only see in terms of their reproductive function that serves society to stay on its ...

My Future Job

I always think about my future work, what I would like to do, and I start dreaming of many possibilities. The truth is that I have many plans for my future. On the one hand, I like the academic area, so I would very much like to teach at the university level.  For this reason, I would like to get a Master's degree and a PhD at some point in my life. I still don't define exactly what specialty to study, although I like those related to art theory, such as aesthetics or history of art. I still have time to define it.  On the other hand, I would also like to dedicate myself to art in its practice. My specialty is photography, so I would like to improve and study more about the entire photographic world. Actually, I would like to study Direction of Photography to work in filmmaking. I would like to do this specialty abroad and work in other countries, to learn about the aesthetics and language of photography according to their own culture. I have a dream, and why not, I would lik...
