POST 7: Changes to your Study Program

As an art major student of Universidad de Chile, I believe this is a really important topic to discuss, since is a necessity to have an equipped faculty to facilitate our learning and college life, but mostly a well planned study program, that has the capacity to offer to all the students, the classes they need in order to be prepared to their future art career, satisfying is the best way possible the special creativity needs every artist in formation haves.

I have never seen the faculty yet (I'm going for the first time tomorrow, which is exciting), but from what I have heard, the state of the campus is deplorable, the infrastructure abandoned, and the workshops do not always count with the equipment it’s required for the classes. And it is kind of sad that despite being one of the most prestigious universities in the country, the campus is so abandoned.

Now talking about the curriculum, I believe it has good things and things that should be reconsidered and improved. The one thing that causes more difficulties is the continuity of the workshops and the specialties that every student has to take, because there are various different opinions and needs depending on the way of creation and experimentation of every person, and even if it is improved, it’s almost impossible to fit every student, but my personal solution for this, is to create a workshop guide by different teachers, in order to be a place of experimentation without any rule or guideline, but for letting be free the creativity of everyone. The theoretical classes are fine, it’s necessary to have that kind of knowledge too, beside the workshops, and it is concise the amount of subjects we have.
