Blog 3: Hayao Miyazaki

 Hi everyone! Today I'm going to talk about an artist that inspires me.

It was hard for me to choose an artist because there are so many that inspire me and lately, many are from social media. So I had to think a little bit about which artist I was going to choose and I decided for Hayao Miyazaki.

Hayao Miyazaki is a Japanese illustrator, animator, director, screenwriter and film producer. His career began in the 1970's as the director of a television series called "Conan: The Boy from the Future". His first film was "The Castle of Cagliostro" in 1979, but with his second film "Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind" (1984) is when he began to deal with his main themes, such as the care of the environment, fantastic adventures and strong female main characters. In 1985 he created Studio Ghibli together with Isao Takahata.

When I was a child, my mom used to show me Hayao Miyazaki's movies, so there is a great nostalgic charge for me to watch his movies or listen to the music of them. My favorite movies are Nausicaa, Princess Mononoke, Castle in the Sky, Spirited Away and The Walking Castle... jajaa there are a lot of them, but they are really beautiful. 

I am very inspired by the theme of his art, I appreciate that he is one of the few who puts women protagonists and for such a long time, in addition to his concern for the environment. Another thing that inspires me is how sensitive and emotional his films are, they are really wonderful, and I would love to be able to move people with my art, as he does.

That's all for today <3

I hope you have a great week and hopefully you have some time to watch some of his movies!

    Everything he creates is awesome! For me everyone must see the Studio Ghibli movies and it's almost impossible that you don't like at least one among the wide spectrum of their movie topics 😍😍

Blog 7: Changes to my study programme

Imagen
hello! I'm in my second year studying Theatre Design and only started having face-to-face classes in the middle of this year, so my experience is a bit unusual. That's why I would change certain things in the study programme according to my experience. For example, I think that classes on digital tools like photoshop should be included in the first year because it is very useful and can be used for many things and aspects of design. The course load is very heavy, the duration of the classes is long and the work we have to do outside of class hours needs a lot of time and dedication to be able to complete them properly. Regarding the years of study, I think it is fine, but perhaps to have less workload, the length of the course could be extended by one year. I am very fond of the Theater Department, where I do my degree, it is a very nice heritage building, but it needs too much maintenance, I am concerned about some electrical connections and that especially in pandemic we have...

Blog 5: A job you would like to have in the future

Imagen
 Hi everyone, I've always dreamed of working in the audiovisual medium, like in music videos, series or movies designing the visual world of a production, so being an art director would be like a dream.  What I like about working as an art director, is to be able to create and design the visual style that a project requires, to think about the details and what can be communicated through them, the idea of being able to define the color palette, the materialities, the silhouette of the costumes, for the universe of each project, I love it. I think my career develops a very similar work when you have to create a design proposal that covers all areas for a play, working from a concept that unifies the costumes, space and lighting.  Some useful skills for the art director are the ability to work in a team, to be able to communicate ideas effectively, to have diverse references, to know about composition, color theory, materialities, as well as having the ability to solve prob...

Blog 6: Time travel to the future

Imagen
Thinking about the future has always intrigued me, although I think the idea of knowing what is going to happen takes the fun out of life.  Also, I think it's inevitable to think about what will happen with climate change and pollution, all that uncertainty causes me a bit of anxiety and depresses me especially because of the UN announcement that there is no return... But if I could travel to the future, I think I would like to go to the time when travel in the universe is already possible.  I have always been fascinated by the universe, its immensity and how little we know about it. When I see movies about traveling to other planets or galaxies it makes me very curious. If I could travel the universe I would like to go to the Andromeda galaxy because it is the closest. Although it is said that in 4 billion years Andromeda will eat our galaxy, I want to imagine that space travel will be possible before that happens and that the Andromeda galaxy will only be closer.  I wou...
