Hi,
First of all I have to say that last semester we talked a lot about our career, what do we want in our lives and so muchs things like that. So for the blog to not to get boring writing in it, I suggest to writing about things that we like, but out of our area: this can be another kind of things that we are interested in, like our second option of career to study, or maybe art itself but our area. For example, I'm in a painting workshop, so I can write about sculpture or performance etc, except painting.
The other suggestion is to watch a movie maybe or select a poem, a tv program, a work of art, or even a country and talk about them and show our opinions. Or to put us in situations of real life life (or maybe more fantastic too) and explain what we could do about it in the blog.

Taking experiences of real people
I chose the interview of the photographer David Bailey called "Question time ", that speaks about his art in the world today and what he thinks about problems produced by technology in the art of photograph nowadays. All this with questions about himself.
Although my specific area is painting, not photography, I'm very interested on this because in the future I want to learn this art. Besides, there will be always a debate between this two forms of representation, so I have to keep it in mind.
In the first part of the interview, Bailey is asked about his work in Vogue magazine, and he talks about the mass media: the only way that he could get paid to do anything creative, that is interesting to me because I need to know how people in my area develops in any kind of work, and how they could get money of it, because that theme is very uncertain in my career.
On the other hand, he talked about technology in photos, wich is a controversial topic nowadays, because there's a fight about who is better, if its the technology or the human technique what is the most valuable thing. He explains too that, now and then, for that reason (techonology envolved into your photograph) people can`t realise who took the picture, that's for the digital fixes on the photos that finally makes them all the same. By the way, that is why I prefer painting, because it is more personal and unique. It'll never be mediocre in the terms that Bailey speaks.
I think there is very interesting (sometimes more than read informative texts) to listen to the opinions of an artist or people who works everyday in the area. Reading interviews you receive information in a different way and so you can prepare for what your future life is expecting for you.
