Renaissance Theater


I found this picture while trying to figure out how to post images on my blog. 

Renaissance: synonym of perspective.

Carlos Delgado

 Hi everyone!

As you can see, I've been having some problems posting images. I will post them (again) as soon as I figure out how to do it correctly. Sorry about that.

Now back to the topic of this post: Juan Carlos Delgado
I took another look at his work, especially the girl  and the bars in bronze, and I wondered about how did he have such an interesting and out-of-the box idea. I would have loved to see it in person, how it changed as time passed. The idea of the air condensing on the statue and bars is fascinating.
His work truly represents multimedia: it evolves over time, and its components work in synergy.

In this site there are more pictures of these two works of Juan Carlos Delgado. It has some descriptions but are in Spanish. I hope you like them as much as I do.

 I would love to do something like that. Jajajaja...

Moving on. I still have not found pictures of the other work made by Juan Carlos Delgado (the one with the shoes and the fungi). I will post images when I find them (I hope I will).

Take care!
 Sincerely,

 Michelle

Ayasofya

Isn't it beautiful? I fell in love with the Ayasofya after the professor showed a picture of it. It's inspiring. Michelle

Art and Technology Course

     Hi everyone!

     I didn't mention in my previous post that I created this blog for a course I'm taking this semester: Art and Technology (Honors). So I will be posting my assignments, documents relating to what we're talking about in the course, photos, videos and more. 

    The first course was very interesting! Even though the professor, Santiago Echeverry, accidentally and intentionally sprayed me in the face (which for me was hilarious), he seems very knowledgeable, dedicated, funny, interesting and a whole lot of fun! The professor started talking about multimedia, how it originated, from the Greek to the Romans to the Gothic Cathedrals(there is much more though) and great examples like Juan Carlos Delgado's work! I was like a sponge, absorbing so much interesting information. I really liked the first day of class.

   Being real, this course will be a challenge (well, I had to create a blog, which I had never done before). I will do my best on this course and work hard for my grades. And I will also, like Prof. Echeverry said, "produce art" in this course. 

   This course will definitely expand my range of creativity, imagination and knowledge about art(and technology), and how it has evolved over time. It will also shape and challenge my perception and opinions of art and technology in a entirely different level. I will obtain extremely important knowledge and experience that will be my base to other courses and experiences that I will encounter on my way to being an Art Therapist. 

    I want to enjoy the course experience, learn as much as I can, work hard for what I want, and have fun as well.

    Thanks for reading!

    Sincerely,
          
      Michelle  :)

About Me


    Hi everyone! 

    Mi name is Michelle Torrech PĂ©rez, and I would like to welcome you all to my blog  "Soon-To-Be Art Therapist - Michelle"! (Lame title, right?) 

    Being from Caguas, Puerto Rico, my native language is Spanish. (I apologize for any grammatical error that I make in any of my posts.) I love art, especially drawing and painting. I've drawn since I was very little, and I get so caught up in it that sometimes I don't feel what's going on around me. Soccer is my favorite sport, and I've played it since I was about 6 years old(and still play it today). I'm a very outdoors person, who enjoys sports, nature, fresh air and breeze, and the warm sun. I like to read, to get to know people deeply, to be open to other cultures and religions.  In addition to dealing with animals, except spiders and bees, I also have a passion for children of any age. I have something that attracts their attention, and I also like to listen. This combination makes me good with kids, and I enjoy listening to them, immersing myself in their limitless imagination and creativity. I've also developed an increasing interest in Psychology: how powerful, yet fragile the mind is, how colors directly affect our feelings, how different personalities are shaped, how the unconscious control and leak out into our conscious, how the environment influences our opinions, our perception, our behavior... just fascinating. Well, I like many thing, but these are my top favorites. 

     As you may already know, thanks to the tittle, I am majoring in Art Therapy at UT. If I have to say a reason for choosing to major in Art Therapy, then I would say because I find it perfect for me. As I mentioned before, I love art and psychology. Art Therapy is like a combination of art and psychology. Also, I adore kids and find Art Therapy perfect for helping children that are going through difficult times and/or situations. 
So in other words, I want to be an Art Therapist that specializes in children, but will also give therapy to teens, adults and seniors.

     Feel free to comment on anything!
    I gladly accept constructive criticism (in grammar, ideas, opinions, etc), but please remember: BE RESPECTFUL AT IT. :)

Thank you,

Michelle
