Assignment 6 - Discovery Blog

 In the study of MoliĆ©re's satire, I learned that you have to go through with what you say or do and not be a fake person. Also if you do not know someone very well then do not let them into your house because they could be useing you and you would not know it untill it was to late. If you do bad things in life and try to pull one over on someone more then likely your going to be the suffering. Also if you claim to be a christan or some religion then don't do bad things and then go ask God or others for help if you know your going to do it again.

Assignment 2 Blog-This Age of Satire

 In the Age of Satire when people wrote plays they were being sarcastic but at the same time they were trying to be serious about society and how people acted. If someone said they were faithful to their religion then they would convince others but then turn out to be a hypocrite. Like the play Tartuffe.

Assignment 4 - BA Study of Symmetry

This to me was a Symmetrical image that I drew I stared with the rectangles in the middle and then with the squares with the circles. Then I got the idea to add color and the diamonds on both sides as well as the other shapes so when you fold it; it will be reflecting symmetry.

One invention that has changed my life are the smart phones and how they are touch screens. I chose this over all the other invitions because instead of always staying in your house and calling someone you take your phone every wheres you go.Also you can look up a number when you need it or access a calender when you need it.

Assignment 3 Modern-Day Counterparts of Baroque Theatre

I went to go see a play when I was younger ,I dont remember what its called but I do remember that they used pullys to move the sceneray around and you were so focued on the actors that it just look as if the scence changed by its self.This is like the Barque Era because it used a machanry and it was easy to change scene and not take forever.

Assignment 3 - Blog:Renaissance Band

                                    The E.E. Band 

The three instruments that I chose for my band is the harp the Gemshorn and the Dulcimer. What I like about all three instruments are the Rhythm, Tempo and Melody. To me the harp and dulcimer sound a little alike except the harp has a more rough sound but still smooth and the dulcimer is really smooth. I think they would sound great together. The gemshorn sound like a flute and has a nice melody to it so it would give a nice pitch sound to the other two instruments. On the harp each string of the harp is attached to a wooden peg or metal pin. Strings are tuned by adjusting these pegs or pins. The harp belongs to the string family. The gemshorn shape is determined naturally because it is made from the horn of a chamois or ox. The gemshorn belongs to the woodwind family. The dulcimer often had one or two bridges over which the strings crossed providing the opportunity for more pitches. The hammers are held between the index and middle fingers. I decided to select these three instruments because they have a nice melody, tempo, rhythm harmony and they could be played to make a song for a child to fall asleep to.

       Assignment 3 - Blog: Response to the Play
      
    I am going to see a play about two people who are in love but cannot be together because there families dislike each other. I it’s a terrible tragedy. I went and saw Romeo and Juliet the one written by William Shakespeare. I was so confused about the play. I thought how beautiful women can fall in love with a man that she has only known for a few days.
  The play house that we were in was very niece. We sat on benches and it was much crowed. Play is about young women who meets a young men and fall in love with each other but cannot be together because their families are enemies. Juliet is a Capulet and Romeo is a Montague. They must never be seen together or they can be killed.
  I would not want to be with boy because I am a lady and ladies do not be with other men and I want to faithful to my husband. But Juliet must marry another men named Paris,because he is a capulet and that is what her father wants. Instead Juliet goes behind her father’s back and marries Romeo. When the day came for her to marry Paris Juliet drank a poison that would make her sleep and seem as if she were dead. When Romeo got the news of her death he went to see her;not knowing she was dead he drank a poison and he died, Juliet did not want to live without him so she drank the same poison that Romeo did and she took her life. It was so sad to see them die. But I would not want to die for someone that I have not know for very long.
       Assignment 5 - Blog: Most significant discovery

In the renaissance dance I did not really like either of the dances but I can relate to the country dace because in the Hispanic cultural when a young women has her 15th birthday or when there’s a wedding usually after you eat you get up and dace and have a good time. If there is any party then you learn a new dace and everyone else will start doing it. I just do not have and special or traditions that I do in my family

Unit 4 Dance

Clothing and dance go hand in by allowing you to express yourself in a creative and appropriate way. For example if a rapper made a song that was not aproate then they would hire dancers to wear clothing that made them look inappropriate. Or if a dancer was a ballerina then they would wear a tutu to hat she is a ballerina. You have to dress a certain way so that the audience knows what you’re doing or what your point is.

Assignment 2: Blog - What would you choose? East West

The sport that I would Freeze-Frame is boxing. The reason I would freeze-frame boxing is because in my opinion it’s cool to watch on TV also in boxing you can see how hard the boxers hit. It’s a dangerous sport but many people like watching it on TV. The movement I would choose to freeze-frame as an art piece is one of the boxer’s gloves gliding across the face of the other boxer so that you can see that the other boxer can get hurt. I chose  boxing and that particular freeze-frame because I want people to know that violence is never the answer to someone’s problem and that someone can get really hurt. In my opinion I do not think boxing has a significant meaning in our society because it teaches you that it’s OK to fight because you’re stronger the someone else.

                           Assignment 2 Codes of  Ethics

Some of code of ethics are family,responsibility and being truthful. Were my code of ethics came from are my friends and family. I think having your family is great because they should support everything you do and encourage you to do your best and be someone in life. Responsibility is important because you should know right from wrong and be responsible for your actions instead of blaming others. In my oppion you should value truthfulness so that you can gain the trust of friends,family,coworkers and not live with guilt that you lied to them.

                            The 1899 Painting by Vuilliard

In Vuilliard's 1899 painting you can see were he tryed to use balance when he put small and big objects on the left side of his painting and on the right side. On the left side in the back ground you can see a small table and a vase, and on the right side you see the lady sitting at the table with something in the background. In his painting one principle of design I do see is proportion. You might be able to see this in the color when he uses light colors to dark and big shapes and small shapes. you can also see repetition on the ladies jacket and on the walls thay keep the same shape and colors.
                                       Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire

What I learned is that Fred danced with Ginger because he was wanting to marry her and he didn't know how to ask her so he danced and sang to her to capture her attention. They also danced to the beat of the music so that they could do a good performance for there audience. Its smooth classic music and maybe its a love song. I think its trying to say that you can fall in love with someone when you look into there eyes.

   Assignment 1 - Blog: How "place" shapes our way of thinking

I grew up in Lexington, Kentucky in the projects for about four years and it was in the rural area like around the city.Then in 1998 I moved into a trailer on a street called newtown pike. I had lived there for about nine years and I was about twelve years old. Then I moved to Denver Colorado with my dad,stepmother and two brothers. The apartments that I lived in was far from the city and close to my school. There were lots of buildings, and I remember there was this big opened land were some construction people were beginning to build a park. when it was done it looked really nice. While I lived in Denver there was this place called Golden Colorado while passing through there it had some houses and buildings it was like a town. My dad had to work there and he helped build a bridge. It seemed as if there was always construction going on.

        Assignment 1-Blog -What is the Purpose of Theatre?

I have talked about my experience before in doing a play when I was in kinder garden and we the class mates had to do a play. In the play the costumes and accessories that we had were  red vests with a red french hat and we sat on stage to sing fair a Shaka. Each student had to sing a part and be loud. Of course I was nerves and I'm sure the others students were to. Some props that I do remember having were a bed made from paper, bells that went along with the song. The Scenery that we had was just the bed the stage and the curtains after we were done we closed them or opened them.
