Photography Art  Photography, as a form of art, has become popular thanks to the technological advancement of the camera from analog to digital. Through a click of a button, anyone can become a photographer through the use of their phones and digital camera. However, not everyone can take a professional picture. The field trip I decided to visit an art museum helped me gain insight into how professional photography can be help create a social image on issues such as poverty and homelessness. The field trip presented an opportunity for me to visit the San Jose Museum of art located in San Jose, state of California.

similarities between rap and poetry Poetry is a type of literary work that is artistic and attempts to stir the imagination and emotions of the audience. A poet achieves this by choosing and arranging language for the rhythm, sound, and meaning. Poetry, as an art form, has several unique features that make it stand out. These features are essential in enhancing the sound patterns that bring out clearly the expressions of the poem when they are said aloud. Music has often been thought of as a form of poetry because it bears several similarities with the art. For instance, just like poems, rap music also uses literary devices such as assonance and consonance and applies the use of rhythm to express an idea. However, rap emphasizes the musicality of the piece, while poems emphasize on the word flow and rhyme alone. In this light, based on the definition and these similarities between rap and poetry, it is evident that rap is indeed a form of poetry. Both poetry and rap use sound to express an intended message. Rap artists, just…

Michelangelo’s David Michelangelo’s David is a marble sculpture created by Michelangelo between 1501 and 1504. It features a nude young man standing confidently, holding a stone on his shoulder using his left hand. The art lacks contrast as it is in one pale color; however, it represents vigor, in regards to the confidence shown in the carved man.

Concert Report: Sammy Miller and the congregation Sammy Miller and the congregation concert titled leaving Egypt was held in the Campbell hall on Thursday, the 13th of February this year. The show began by 8 pm as it was recorded in the program. The hall was filled, and many other people could not get seats and had to stand through most of the concert. Most people in the audience dressed casually, and this implied that it was a casual occasion. The performers, Sammy Miller and the crew, did not also wear uniforms, and this created a free mood that put people in high spirits. As much as I found it weird, I noticed that the majority of the concert attendees were the men. The ration of men to women was two to one. Even so, I am sure that the women who had not attended the concert would have enjoyed it either way. The setting of the hall was neat, organized and expressive from the deco that was put on stage, and this gave it a theme. The opening part…

The Media and Symbolic Interactionism Theory Human beings have the capacity to exert control over their behaviors- or simply to coordinate their behavior with that of others and create complex social attitudes or interactions. This ability is made possible through communication and aided by a theory known as symbolic interactionism, as discussed in the sections that follow. Symbolic interactionism theory is a communication theory that provides a framework for understanding human behavior by attempting to address the subjective meanings that people give to events, actions, or objects. The theory underscores that individuals behave or respond to circumstances depending on what they believe to be true- which may sometimes not be objectively true (Carter and Fuller 931). Thus, societal interactions are thought to be determined by the creations of human minds rather than the actual knowledge of reality. Symbolic interactionism was introduced by George Herbert Mead in the 1920s, but the principles of symbolic interactions trace back to earlier claims by Max Weber, who asserted that people act according to the interpretation of the meanings they deduce from the world around…

Music Part A In the song ‘La Donna e Mobile’ by Pavarotti (1851), the music is immediately introduced, with its theme being severally repeated. The song lacks a simultaneous occurrence in pitches, cords, and frequency, which is collectively referred to as harmony. This creates an impression to the listener that the music has either stopped or is incomplete. Texture may vary depending on the character and number of instruments or parts playing concurrently, which could be tempo, voices playing, rhythm, and harmony used. In this case, the texture of the song is light, with minimal instruments playing in the background. The melody is a disjunct evident from the halts the singer makes during the song. A disjunct is used in a song to segment a song and alert the audience of new verse in the song. The song, ‘La Donna e Mobile’ depicts a disjunct that covers a wide range as a way of capturing the attention of the audience. As the song comes to an end, the harmony changes slightly to introduce a new voice tone that takes the…
