The Art Faculty...

Well, I think that the Art Faculty is very special, in so many ways, I could say that is one of the faculties in the campus of the university that has a very high extension of grass in its park, so we can lay down in the grass and rest and sleep all day. But in the other hand, is one of the most decadent, and I say decadent because the infrastructure is deplorable; the building is older, a little ugly probably, and it hasn't anything like artistic, or nothing aesthetic that goes with an Art School; I mean, when it's raining the workshoops and the classrooms are all wet! How can that happens in a university! Even, when a few days ago it was raining, with a classmates we had to go to the Painting Workshop to move and remove some pieces of work and some pictures, because in a place of the classroom it was all full of water that fell from the roof!

The structure of some rooms is not the best or the one that we expect for it. But, even though we have a special feeling with the school, because it has something "magic". One of the things that make me really sad, is when I look at the back of the faculty, is a piece of land that is not used, we could take advantage of it, but it seems that no one is interested in to do it. There is something like a wharehouse, but it's almost for fall down in any moment! I've looked inside of it and it's scary, there are a ot of things, trash, tailing, thrown and forgotten things.

Another thing that I think we have to improve, is the artless in our school; I mean, it souns really ironic, but there aren’t so many artistic things in the faculty, something like sculptures, wall-paintings, interventions in the corridors, I don’t know, an instance where we as students could express and show our pieces of work. For example, that space of the back of the faculty that I mention previously, it could be like the “Park of sculptures” but it isn’t, and it’s really sad, but it like a paradox… How an art school doesn’t has art in it?
I think, that more than students, the University and authorities they have and they must to do something at respect. We can’t study in a place, where the classrooms are all raining and where the structure can fall down in the less awaited moment. And we as students, we have to do something too; we have to take the responsability and make our voice to sound, because if we don’t say anything and if we don’t do anything for it, no one’s gonna do it…

I place i'd like to visit...

Well, there are too many places that I'd like to visit. I really love to travel and visit different places and know different people, different cultures, and I really would like to travel abroad... but there's a place that is very attractive for me: Morrocan.
Morrocan is a country that I'd like to visit; I think of it as a place that I can jump from all what is happening in the world, something like a way of escape and it could be a niceful, agitated and stimulant place.
I like the arabian culture that has this country, all the places, the architecture mainly. I love the buildings, full of things, colorful. And all the markets accumulated on the streets, the people running from here to there, I think that is an alucinating place; and sometimes it becomes a duality, because I love all the movement on the cities, the velocity, the faster things, the lights, the traffic, bohemian life and the city life, but in the other hand I need to be in a place where I can find myself and feel that conection with my mind and Morrocan is like the plug with I can connect with myself... I don't know, I think Morrocan has something that I find alucinating and at the same time inspirating.
The art is one the things more attractive for me in this country; because Morrocan has developed a mosaic of artistic traditions, that includes carpets, jewerly, carveds on wood, painted boards, and a lot of things that I find amazing.
The food is what I want to concentrate on if I'm in this country, there's a traditional food called "cuscús" that is semola with lamb and vegetables.. Mmmmmh.. delicious! and the tea is the drink by excellence. I love tea.
Well, I don´t know, the only thing that I can say about Morrocan is that it's like a land of fantasy..
