“A Subject I've enjoyed studying this semester”

Here a good friend :) Leo.

This semester was quite curious for me, because for a start we did not begin with the student demonstrations as tends to happen around the months of april to may, they are just recently beginning a few weeks ago, which has meant that I have been studying continuously for almost 3 months, a strange thing for the University of Chile, haha.

Of all the subjects I have taken this semester, the one which I most enjoyed and has made me grow as an art student, has been the drawing class from Professor Patricia Vargas. In this workshop i have been able to understand the phenomenon of drawing as a language in itself, a sensitive language, full of the details that make up the whole and that make it into a really authentic and human, and therefore very beautiful, action.

In this workshop we draw the human figure every class, with nude models and, then by ourselves we also draw portraits, self-portraits, parts of the human body such as the hands or feet, or really whatever interests us with regards to the human body. 

In reality I have to say that the human as a theme fascinates me in the drawing, equally being able to observe bodies, being able to translate bodies, being able to give expression and dignity to these representations. It seems to me that it is an act of liberty being able to draw someone from life and that this person gives part of their time and a part of themselves to be captured by someone else's eye and pencil which avidly observes them.
