Similarities Between Kallmyer And Carmina Escobar

Writer and composer, Aaron Copland, in his book, “How We Listen,” divides listening into three planes: the sensuous, the expressive and the sheerly musical. Copland argues throughout the work that “[listeners] can deepen [their] understanding of music only by being a more conscious and aware listener.” (Copland, 15) Copland’s strategy of breaking the text up with the three planes of listening helps the reader understand his message in a more complete way.

I now realise that the Arts, including music, creates opportunities to engage, inspire and enrich our lives. Music making and responding can challenge, provoke responses and enrich our knowledge and understanding of ourselves, our communities and the world.

The great and respected Aaron Copland was an American composer known for his ballad scores. In his essay, “How We Listen To Music” Copland wanted avid music listeners to realize that you can not just be dazed. His mind had sorted out three planes of listening for us: the sensuous plane, the expressive plane, and the sheerly musical plane. He simply defined each plane, illustrating it, and then contrasts between the three. With this people will be a cautious of their music surroundings.

Through distinctive images composers develop interest, drawing the responder in and thus providing insight into the experiences of others. This is demonstrated in Amanda Lohrey’s novella ‘Vertigo’ as Luke and Anna find themselves in a new and disorientating environment as they attempt to build a new life and in the ‘The Red Tree’ composed by Shaun Tan, through the nameless girl’s journey as she attempts to find herself and her place in the world. Meaning created by distinctive images creates interest thus permitting the responder to gain a greater understanding on how the experiences help shape one’s self.

To understand why music is a product of human intention and perception, we start by defining or understanding the nature of music. Music is defined as the sounds or combination of vocals and instruments in a way that it produces a form of beauty, expression, or harmony of emotions. Arguably, people compose or make music through many ways (Resnicow, Joel E., 20-29). While some people might compose music without incorporating instruments, others use instruments to produce beats that match with their sounds. However, to argue that the

The work in the exhibition is separated into two sections. Cycles are 15 circular collages on the lids of small cardboard cartons and the Matrix series are 10 square geometries on inlayed paper segments. Each work is a collage of used materials that

The purpose of this essay is to evaluate two art pieces that were created by two tremendously gifted individuals during the Baroque to the contemporary period. Masters of their movements, both sculptors were able to create masterpieces that revealed an unfolding event that could be read by their viewers from all sides.

From the day we’re in our mother's stomachs, to the day we die, we have always been listening to music. For me, listening to music all my life helped me develop a passion for it. When I was around the age of 6 my dad introduced me into the world of Rock. The very first band I remember listening to was System of a Down and ever since then, I fell in love with rock music and all its possible variations; for a long time this was all I listened to. It wasn’t until high school that I started listening to all sorts of genres and realized that I wanted to have a career in the music industry. That's when I learned about producing music.

Before entering the exhibition the viewer is introduced to an energetic video montage of all the works with a sound created by Kevin J. Simon. This fast pace hip-hop sounding song at first seems very out of place from the work, but after listening to it for some time you do hear

Artist Chris Paxson, born in Atlantic City, New Jersey, found himself pursuing commercial art after attending school at Stockton University for visual communications. He is the owner of Coastline Creations, a company that specializes in three-dimensional fabrication. His company has worked with companies such as VH-1, and Crayola Crayons. They have also worked with small businesses. Although Coastline Creations carries much depth, I will be discussing Paxson’s solo art, most of which consists of animals, especially fish.

Vito Acconci has been a part of the art world for the past sixty years creating artwork that has sparked debate for just as long. His early projects which started with a piece titled Pryings in 1971 were videos that pushed the boundaries between the artist and the viewer. These early video tapes would become the foundation for Acconci’s art in the future that would evolve from tapes, to photography, to architecture, and more.

Every art piece is an individual’s method of expressing their creativity and imagination to share with one’s audience. Lauren Kalman is a contemporary artist whose pieces captivate an assortment of the human’s body functions illustrating abnormalities, societies ideology and others.

Kalman also has a Bachelor's Degree in fine arts, in metals from Massachusetts College of Arts. Kalman also did an apprenticeship for two years at the Institute of Sculpture. She currently teaches part time at various universities, including Brown University.

“Art, all art, not just painting, is a foreign city, and we deceive ourselves when we think it familiar,” (4) is a quote from Jeanette Winterson “Art Objects”, where she first experience a different perception of art. This essay encompasses a first encounter in appreciating all art in different ways, leading to a basic understanding of three different planes mentioned in Aaron Copland’s “How We Listen.” Copland narrows down how to perceive art, specifically music, through three different planes: sensuous, expressive, and sheerly musical. He explains the sensuous plane as the first level of perceiving music, through the basic senses (seeing, hearing, touching, etc.) and develops into the expressive plane, which is the emotional content of the

Inner self is the main theme of the next and final artist in this exhibition. Using paper molds

There is an increasing mutual exchange as the synthetic and the human-made equally invades what we once thought of as natural. In electronic music, the human element that people input in their work is crucial to say the least. People provide the unpredictable pieces in their work to make it stand out from the rest. Most robotic or technologic generated music often is in the form of a pattern. Without human interface, electronic music, for the most part, is predictable. When electronic music is played without the human element, a sense of something that is missing usually occurs. Today, technological advances allow electronics to replace most of the human interactions. Now technology can mimic the sounds of non-electronic instruments. Instruments such as the flute, violin, and guitar are just some of these mimicked sounds that could be replaced. In this “genre” the human body is often held as a relatable tool. The audience notices the human element and realizes that they can create such works as well. Electronic music to some may feel that it is missing the human component in the normalized concept of seeing the artist. However, when developing the art itself, electronic music, whether it be in live performances, editing the material, or commercializing the music for use, the human element is still very prominent. The human component is implicated in music directly or indirectly.
