5. I think we can all agree that our day-to-day experience might be a little less interesting. The music we listen to, the television and films we watch, and even the way we design and decorate our homes are directly influenced by the visual and performing arts; even if we aren’t aware of it. What would life be like without music, dance, painting, theatre, or cinema? Consider your own experiences with the visual and performing arts. Perhaps you saw great art in a museum, or you were in the audience for a play, film, or concert. Describe your experience, including your emotional connection to what you saw or heard. In what ways did this experience impact your life? Due Monday Reply to at least 2 of your classmates. Be constructive and professional in your responses. ****************************************

This includes your initial post and 2 replies to other students. Due Thursday Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: Music and dance are similar because both are able to communicate ideas and emotions without the use of words. In the absence of a vocal part, musicians create sounds that evoke certain emotions. Composers and performers do this through different elements of music like melody, harmony, and rhythm. Dancers can also communicate emotions, ideas, or even a story through their movements, and these movements are often tied to musical elements like rhythm. Imagine that you are composing a ballet. Pick an emotion that you want to show the audience. Describe how you would use certain elements of music to create the sounds of that emotion. How would you choreograph the dancers to align with your musical ideas? Due Monday

10. Movies and stage plays, also known as cinema and theatre, are probably the most accessible of the performing arts. In both forms, a story is portrayed using similar methods or elements such as actors and actresses, costumes, sets, scripts, and lighting. Both film and theatre producers are able to bring a story to life using these elements, and their artistic choices can enhance the drama of the story. Think of one of your favorite movies and consider how different artistic choices were made in the film’s production. Which elements were most effective and why? Could your film be turned into a stage play? Why or why not? Due Monday Reply to at least 2 of your classmates.
