Hello HIVE, I hope you are all doing well and doing some creative activity.
Hola HIVE espero que todos se encuentren muy bien realizando alguna actividad creativa.
Today I come to share with you a wonderful experience that I lived these last weeks, since I participated in an Art Reality Show called "The Master O.K Challenge" sponsored by the company PRODIMAR distributor of materials for art and crafts; this was the second edition of the Master O.K Challenge and they selected UNEARTE and 22 of its students (including me in that group) to participate in this great opportunity for learning and visualization at a media level. Here I will tell you the whole process from start to finish, since the production process of the reality show took almost a month, I hope you like my experience.
Hoy les vengo a compartir una maravillosa experiencia que viví estas ultimas semanas, ya que, participe en un Reality Show de Arte llamado "El Reto Master O.K" patrocinado por la empresa PRODIMAR distribuidora de materiales para el arte y las manualidades; esta fue la segunda edicion del Reto Master O.K y seleccionaron a la UNEARTE y a 22 de sus estudiantes (incluyendome en esa grupo) para participar en esta grandiosa oportunidad de aprendizaje y visualizacion a nivel mediatico. por aqui les voy a contar todo el proceso desde inicio a fin, ya que el proceso de produccion del reality tomo casi un mes, espero les guste mi experiencia.
One day, the academic director saw Moises and me walking through the halls of the university and told us about the Master O.K Challenge, explaining what it was all about. Moises and I decided to participate and we were the first names on the list of participants. The academic director asked us to please tell other students to sign up for the challenge. We immediately started telling everyone we knew to participate, and since Moises is a bit intense, we managed to fill the list in less than an hour. A few days later, the production team from Prodimar (the company organizing the event) visited the Unearte facilities to explain the entire event in more detail and gave us the instructions to begin recording, since the challenge is a reality show and on the final day it will be recorded live to broadcast directly on the brand's social networks, but we would make several previous recordings; They invited us to the next day where they would record us while we drew and told some things about ourselves and the beginning of our artistic career to complement those videos.
Un dia, el director academico nos ve a Moises y a mí caminando por los pasillos de la universidad y nos cuenta sobre el Reto Master O.K explicandonos bien de que trata todo ese asunto, Moises y yo nos animamos a participar y fuimos los primeros nombres en rellenar la lista de participantes, el director academico nos pidio el favor de avisarle a otros estudiantes para que se inscriban en el reto; al instante nos pusimos a decirle a todos los conocidos para que participaran y como Moises es un poco intenso, logramos llenar la lista en menos de una hora. A los pocos días el equipo de produccion de Prodimar (la empresa que esta organizando el evento) visito las instalaciones de la unearte para explicar mas a detalle todo el evento y nos dio a conocer la indicaciones para comenzar las grabaciones, ya que el reto es un reality show y el día final se grabara en vivo para transmitir directo por las redes sociales de la marca, pero haríamos varias grabaciones previas; nos citaron para el siguiente día en donde nos grabarían mientras dibujamos y contamos algunas cosas sobre nosotros y el inicio de nuestra carrera artistica para complementar esos videos.
The contest rules were as follows: the challenge would have 3 categories, 1 - graded pencils, 2 - charcoal, 3 - watercolors; each participant could choose only one category (but on the day of the first meeting, when the contest rules were presented to us, Moises proposed changing one of the categories between graded pencils and graphite, to add a mixed technique, since those two previous categories were very similar; His proposal was accepted and a mixed technique was added to replace the graded pencils category) I participated in the watercolors category, each category would have a Venezuelan plastic artist representative that we would use as a reference for their technique to make our own creation, in the mixed category the artist to reference was the master Armando Reveron, for graphite we would reference the master Jacobo Borges and for watercolors the master Mercedes Pardo, which was my turn; We had three weeks of preparation, during which our task was to carry out a study on the artistic research of the masters to be referenced and to apply their technique, creating our own concept. We were also told that in the final challenge we would have 1 hour to complete the work and that each category would have a winner who would take home a box full of art products.
Las bases del concurso fueron las siguientes: el reto tendría 3 categorias, 1 - lapices graduados, 2 - carboncillo, 3 acuarelas; cada participante podía elegir una sola categoria (pero el dia de la primera reunion, cuando nos presentaron las bases del concurso, Moises propuso cambiar una de las categorias entre lapices graduados y grafito, para agregar una tecnica mixta, ya que esas dos anteriores categorias eran muy parecidas; Le aceptaron la propuesta y se agrego una tecnica mixta para sustituir la categoria de lapices graduados) Yo participe en la categoria de acuarelas, cada categoria tendría un representante artista plastico venezolano que usariamos como referencia de su tecnica para realizar una creacion propia, en la categoria mixta el artista a referenciar era el maestro Armando Reveron, para el grafito se referenciaría a el maestro Jacobo Borges y para las acuarelas a la maestra Mercedes Pardo, la cual me toco a mí; contabamos con tres semanas de preparacion en donde nuestra labor era realizar un estudio sobre la investigacion artistica de los maestros a referenciar y aplicar su tecnica creando un concepto propio. tambien nos comunicaron que en el reto final tendríamos 1 hora para realizar la obra y cada categoria tendria un ganador al cual se llevaría una caja llena de productos de arte.
Since I signed up for the watercolor category, I had to reference the Venezuelan artist Mercedes Pardo who dedicated much of her artistic research to abstraction, demonstrating great control in the intensity with which she applies color tones; in my study process to get to know Mercedes' work I saw many pieces full of vigorous color, but I was captivated by one in particular that according to the internet is titled "blue and brown" (it's the last photo I'll leave on this paragraph) With that work I was inspired to create several sketches of my own concepts, but trying to apply the technique that Mercedes used in her work.
Como me inscribí en la categoria de acuarelas, me toco referenciar a la artista venezolana Mercedes Pardo quien dedico gran parte de su investigacion artistica a la abstracción demostrando un gran control en la intensidad con la que aplica las tonalidades del color; en mi proceso de estudio para conocer la obra de Mercedes vi muchas piezas llenas de vigoroso color, pero me cautivo una en especifico que segun el internet lleva como titulo "azul y marron" (es la ultima foto que dejaré sobre este parrafo) con esa obra me inspiré para crear varios bocetos de conceptos propios, pero intentando aplicar la tecnica que uso Mercedes en su obra.
Finally the day to participate in the Master O.K. Challenge arrived. We were invited to the Prodimar facilities located in the Sarria area of Caracas, Venezuela. The event started at 9 in the morning. They gave us a tour of the entire warehouse and its store to show us the variety of stationery products and artistic creations that the company distributes nationwide. Then they introduced us to the owners of the company, they took several photographs and we placed ourselves in the corresponding places to begin the challenge.
Por fin llego el día de participar en el Reto Master O.K, nos citaron en las instalaciones de Prodimar ubicada en la zona de Sarria en la ciudad de Caracas, Venezuela, el evento dio inicio a las 9 de la mañana, nos dieron un recorrido por todo el almacen y su tienda para darnos a conocer la variedad de productos para la papeleria y creaciones artisticas que la empresa distribuye a nivel nacional; luego nos presentaron a los dueños de la empresa, tomaron varias fotografias y nos colocamos en los lugares correspondientes para comenzar con el reto.
They gave us the materials to work with and after several minutes we began the 1-hour challenge to create the pictorial work referencing the technique of one of the 3 master artists who were selected for this contest; everyone put in a lot of effort in this challenge and created great pieces to present.
Nos entregaron los materiales para trabajar y despues de varios minutos comenzamos con el reto de 1 hora para crear la obra pictorica referenciando la tecnica de alguno de los 3 maestros artistas que fueron seleccionados para este concurso; todos se esforzaron muchisimo en este reto y crearon grandiosas piezas para presentar.
We had a break while the judges debated the decision on the winners, we took advantage and took several group photos for the memories, they also gave us a snack to pass the time while we wait for the jury's decisions, which was composed of the Dean and the Director of the ceca Armando Aeveron unearte, they were also accompanied by the two owners of the company Prodimar and finally a master Venezuelan plastic artist with many years of artistic experience and research called Raimundo Marques.
Tuvimos un descanso mientras los jueces debatian la decision sobre los ganadores, aprocechamos y sacamos varias fotografias grupales para el recuerdo, tambien nos dieron un refrigerio para pasar la espera de las decisiones del jurado, que estaba compuesto, por el Decano y la Directora del ceca Armando Aeveron unearte, tambien los acompañaron los dos dueños de la empresa Prodimar y por ultimo un maestrro artista plastico venezolano con muchos años de trayectoria e investigacion artistica llamado Raimundo Marques.
The final moment arrived, we would meet the winners of the Master O.K Challenge in its second edition unearte, Moises won the prize in his category, I did not win in my category, a friend named Liam won and in the graphite category a partner named Luis won; it was truly a great experience, having been able to participate in an event of this magnitude, it allowed me to understand the production process of a small reality show and it also helped me improve my investigative processes for my artistic creations, we all won from this experience, we grew as art students and understood the value of artistic research.
Llego el momento final, conoceriamos a los ganadores del Reto Master O.K en su segunda edicion unearte, Moises gano el premio en su categoria, yo no gané en mi categoria, gano una amiga llamada Liam y en la categoria de grafito gano un compañero llamado Luis; de verdad fue una grandiosa experiencia, haber podido participar en un evento de esta magnitud, me permitio comprender el proceso de produccion de un pequeño reality show y tambien me ayudo a mejorar en mis procesos investigativos para mis creaciones artisticas, todos salimos ganando de esta experiencia, crecimos como estudiantes de artes y comprendimos el valor de la investigacion artistica.
