Conclusions At the beginning of the course I was unable to understand how to translate something for someone else or how to use the different techniques, my speciation for this course were high and all of them were fulfill. Many of the techniques were easy to implement. I learn that everything is easy and need a lot of practice, and this course was easy to understand with all the exercises that M.A. Ester Tezaguic gave us. I learn a lot from everybody and every single class was easy to understand. The difficult part was make everything through videos but I also learn from my classmates. Every single class was taken trough google meets. But at the end we were able to learn and work everything because our creativity were develop amazing.
