Session 9. Tutorials (with S.Henley and Matt)

In the last session before our Pecha Kucha presentation we did a great exercise.

We start thinking in a speach 2 minutes long about something we are really passionate about it. I didn't have any doubt, I choose "illustration".

My two  minutes:

"When you said: you need to chose something that you are very passionate about it... I had no doubts!

ILLUSTRATION.

I can´t understand people who need time to think about what are their passions.

I think if you need to think it...you are not really passionate about it.

I am very passionate of illustration.

I don´t remember the first time that I had a pencil in my hands...

Usually when I am walking by the street I can see some people who looks like characters in my mind. I know! sounds crazy.

I really really love drawing because it is a way to be myself and espress who I am.

Even if I am sad....if I am happy it is a way to go away.

I love when I am into a etching or fine art workshps and i can smell the inks... I don´t know why but the smell makes me feel happy!

Even when I am travelling I always try to find a "fine art suplies shop" to buy some pencils or some other materials because I used to do travel sketchbooks but I like to do that with materials that I ´ve find in the city that I am visiting.

Also...."

Some "voluntaries" went to the front to do their speeches in front of a camera.

Then we watch that video and we disscus about corporal language.

I find quite interesting how our bodies talk. How we walk, our moves, how we are stand or sit down...

Body say a lot about our personality or feelings.

This is very important in an interview, conference or anything like that.

If we are talking in a conference we have to stay in a right position, don´t move too much or too less.

Don´t make things like...touching our neck meanwhile we are talking, because this looks like we are not confident about us and we are trying to protect ourselves.

Or say a lot of times "ehhh...." between spaces of time....that looks like very insecure as well.

Also we watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks-_Mh1QhMc about this subject. Pretty interesting as well.
