Hi guys,  I hope you are having a good day.  Today I'm going to tell you about a subject this semester that I've really enjoyed, it's called Costume Construction. In class we have been taught how to make molds to build textile pieces or costume pieces. For example, basic skirt molds, mold transformations to make a Godet skirt, Evasé skirt, how to build a skirt, cut the fabric, sew it and put buttons or zipper, and finally base molds for upper body, dress, sleeve transformations and their construction.  For the first work we had to experiment with textile treatments such as embroidery, printing, among other things. The second work consisted in the design and construction of our own skirt. Finally, the work we have to do to close this semester is in conjunction with Makeup and Characterization, so we must create and design a whole character, his costume and makeup applying the contents of both subjects, so the theme is Monstrosity and Vanguard, the bone transformation of ou...

 Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well. today I am going to talk about Pinterest a website I often visit.  Pinterest is a website that is used to view images, allowing the user to create and organize albums of images by theme, interests, among many other things.

For example, if I have to make a costume sketch of a specific era, it helps me a lot to look for that type of costume, to see what its characteristics were and to be able to create ...

Hi everyone, today I will talk about how my career can make the world a better place 🌎❤ Theater or performing arts have always been present in human societies. There has always been a need to express oneself and to create a space for catharsis and reflections. Theatrical design is part of the realization of this space in which new worlds can be created and other perspectives can be shown.  I believe that from my career I can convey social messages, transmit diverse cultures and express what is happening today,how was the social revolt, the climate crisis or racism, making the viewer generate an opinion and put into conversation the issues addressed in the works.  Through visual language such as lighting, characterization, costumes or scenery, the viewer is taken on a journey of sensations and emotions, in which every detail has a message and a meaning to discover. And what do I do in all this process?  At the moment I'm still learning. I think I still have a long way to ...
