Well, I am a student of Visual Arts, I am in my fourth year of my degree, I also did two years of basic arts cycle also at the University of Chile and prior to this I was studying arts pedagogy at the umce for two years, so I know very well the curriculum of a career like this.
The truth is that the curriculum seems very interesting to me of visual arts at the University of Chile since being a bachelor, is completely focused on artistic disciplines, we have six semesters of drawing, we have history of art, aesthetics, color, volume, ceramic, textile, painting, goldsmithing, experimental, engraving, etc. The truth is that the amount of workshops and their diversity, makes the race closer to each one of us and our particular interests in relation to visual art and
plastic. Regarding what subjects I think it is important to change, I think that today it would be a contribution to add elective workshops on other topics as well as for example illustration, tattoo, performance or other branches related to art who are not in the race right now.
The visual arts career lasts 5 years, I think it is too long, I also believe that one always has to continue learning about art beyond time that the degree lasts and that it is too long only in relation to learning (which is not so long for so long) we could learn much more than that we learn in those 5 years.
The faculty of arts at the University of Chile is very old, it is many years old, the building and its infrastructure is too lacking, it is not in good condition and it seems to me that the university long ago should have done something with that, since it has the necessary resources.
The teaching methods seem quite good to me, but I would dare to say who depend a lot on teachers, there are teachers who are not good at teaching and there are others really committed to our learning.
