 A career related website that I enjoy visiting is ArtStation, a website where many professional artists post their arworks. The site is a great source of inspiration for me and other artists since it contains a very diversity range of arts, from illustration to 3d-modeling, animation, desing, traditional painting, and many others. It also has an online shop to buy prints, books and resources from the artists that sell them in this site, as well as courses and free tutorials that are organized depending on the subject, software, and skill level. They also have a blog section where they interview professional artists and write about the entertainment industry, so it's kind of a more professional social media than the more common ones, which makes it great for making an online porfolio to be provided when applying to a job in the entertainment or desing industry. I visit it when I need inspiration or I'm looking for a resource or tutorial to learn more https://www.artstation.com

How did art change the world?

Imagen
I don't think that any major has the capability neither the responsibility to make the world a better place, but I believe that being able to do what one enjoys in a healthy way contributes in a small scale to think projects in a more participate, inclusive and emphatic way whit everyone around us. To be fair, I didn't choose my major thinking in anyone but myself and my own desires, but choosing that option helped me to consider those around me and generate relationships that I didn't thought I was capable of making, to be able to see people and the world in a different light. I think that the world would be a better place if everyone had the opportunity to persue their dreams and do what makes them happy instead of what contributes to this society, perhaps in that way humans would be more generous whit one another, less greedy and more cooperative.

 This is my most meaninful photograph that I have, and it means the world to me. I took in 2019 when i went with my girlfriend to the quebrada de macul national park for the day, we had walked a lot and it was a hot summer day, so we put out legs in the river to cold ourselves. I love this photograph because I was with my love and I had someone making me company on a more deep level, where both of us had a conecction beyond just a romantic love. That day I found something I had lost a long ago and I didn't realise that I was missing it: comprehension. I felt like an small child again when everything makes you curious and you are awestruck by even the more small things, which she said she felt the same that day, as if we had childhood friends and we had now each other since forever. We had a really nice day together and we plan to back again after the pandemic is over and on a less hot day, so we don't die at the end of the day

My favorite food in the whole world is potatoes, they can be cocked in so many ways, as French fries, baked, roasted, hot or cold, the possibilities are infinite. I believe thath French fries are the best way you can eat potatoes,  you can add a little bit of mayonnaise or ketchup and you can accompany any food with them. I also like them very much because I'm vegetarian so it's hard to find any options at normal restaurants that don't include meet or are just salad, especially when I go out with friends that eat meat. I know French fries are quite unhealthy because the fried oil, but now with the air fryers that problem is mostly solved, but either wat I have fas metabolism so I could eat a bunch of fries and it wouldn't affect me at all. French fries are the salvation of every vegetarian or vegan and I thank everyday to whoever thought that cooking potatoes in hot oil was a good idea.

 If I had to choose a piece of technology that I love, that would be my computer which I got some years ago. It's very useful for my online classes and for working on my art, since it can run many programs for creative work. I use it everyday but not only for working but for playing video games as well, which is the main reason I love it, but also kind of consumes my life and makes me like an addict to gaming, but now in the pandemic it's nice because I get to play whit my friends and my girlfriend, so we can spend some time together and not feel as alone as I am. If I didn't have it I don't know how I would be managing myself with my classes or the deep loneliness that the pandemic has caused.

I want to be free

In my childhood I dream of being the red power ranger, but dreams don't come true. So instead I wanted to find dinosaurs fossils, so I spent weeks digging holes on my countryard but I didn't find anything, it looks like things weren't as simple as I thought back then. I studied animation for a year and a half but I didn't like the way they teached it, so I searched for another alternative that could give me more resources so I ended up studying art in universidad de chile. I think it has been an experience with good and bad things (more bad than good, hehe it's a joke (no, it's not)). At the beginning everything was nice and I felt I was learning a lot of different things from different sources, I could see an improvement in everything I was doing (but everything changed when fire nation attacked). Now the last year feels like a formality to finish the major and get the degree more than a learning experience. The art career presents a variety of choices when it

A bit about me

Imagen
 I'm Jairo and I was born in santiago, but I lived my childhood at the rural zone of paine so I'm a bit of a country person. I'm an art student at Universidad de Chile, I'm currently on 4th year grade of the painting degree, when I leave the university I would like to dedicate myself to make art pieces for video games, animation projects and comics, but what I would like the most it's to make my own video game ( with furry characters ). I'm the younger brother of two, I have a older sister and I live with my parents, my dad is a jeweler he has worked as a freelancer all his life. My hobbies are playing video games with my friends and my girlfriend, I'm a Star Wars fan so I collect action figures, toys, legos and anything related. I'm very keen on animations, from cartoons to anime to more artistic works, I like learning about the production process in an animation work from the more creative aspects to the techniques that are used in the development of a
