POST 8: Fashion's history

 The course History of Fashion is a class that I have in this semester (second year) and I have learned a lot.

They have taught us about the history of fashion in the twentieth century, we started from 1900, a conservative era, but later, these costumes were completely transformed during each decade, this happened in the context, because fashion is a response of the context, and its phenomena as for social problems, revolutions, wars and more.

They teach us about the beauty icon, clothing, hairstyle, makeup, and changes in silhouettes.

It is a very interesting class, it is very complete, they explain absolutely everything important about the decade, the problem is that we had few classes and we only reached the 50s, but, I am happy to be able to describe the silhouette of each decade, and the reason for it.

The class is very difficult because, being complete, each class is an information boom for us, I understand well but I need to avoid distractions because every second is important. Outside of this, I love this class.

In addition, outside of class, the evaluations have been very entertaining, they have made us create characters that contain reference to the decades taught, but the teacher challenges us to combine it with other themes.

POST 7: HOW CAN YOUR MAJOR MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE

Theater or stage design is part of art and art is part of culture. Culture is what builds and cultivates a social identity, through it human beings express traditions, beliefs, rites or knowledge. It is important because a "society without culture is a society without soul"

My specialty, theater design or scenography, is in charge of communicating any idea, concept or manifestation, through visuality, and we can do many things with this specialty

We can reach the streets, the theater or the cinema, where we are is where the public we want to reach is.

As for the interest that I see in us, the estudents att teather design,  two paths stand out above all; The first is the interest in dreaming, having and giving a dream experience away from reality through a work, and the second is the interest in showing a more crude part of reality, which mainly encompasses society and society. politics.

I do not know what I contributed, there are many things to solve in society, I have a lot of anger inside me, which I can express in any play, but long ago my interest moved away from naturalism, which by the way, I admire it, because it manifests the harsh reality that cries out to be shown, but I don't feel comfortable getting into that artistic branch, because I'm becoming more and more sensitive.

I am interested in the fantastic world, fantastic characters, comedy, and I know several colleagues with the same interest, this may be a sign that there are young people exhausted from reality, and instead of facing it they prefer to create new worlds, which could be perfectly part of the culture. But, creating new world does not mean that it will not cover part of the real world, on the contrary, I am interested in creating manifesting happiness, sadness and rage lived in reality by others and by me.

Here I leave a costume sketch that I made, expressing my anger at the fast life that students and workers live due to "multifasting", which becomes very exhausting and destructive, I was thinking about the capital sin of "laziness", but seeing it in another way. It is a dreamlike visuality, but I put all my current feelings that I have before this world.
