Cultural Event- "The Foreigner"
I was very intruiged in the play at the auditorium. Once again mypicture is on my pfone in which I would love to show to get full credit. I am happy you gave us the option to do the events because I have learned a great deal of knowledge through going to these events.
Cultural Event- Carnival
I have the picture on my phone, however, I can not out it on my computer.
While at the carnival, I noticed the different types of rides that actually originated in Europe and parts of Asia. The time I spent there was enjoyable as well as educational.

High Museum Project
Rob Buddin
Introduction to Art- MW 7-815
Ms. Whittington
High Museum of Art visit
1) Your favorite work of art. What? Why?
The artwork “The Sea of Capri,” by William Stanley Haseltine, made me think of how I love the outdoors and the beach. It also looked like a Caribbean panting in which I have been and would love to go back.
2) A work of art that you like but would not take home. What? Why?
In the Terra Cotta display, there was a coffin built for the emperor. I like the art on the coffin, however, it is not something I would take home for pleasure.
3) A work of taught you something that you did not know. What?
In the painting, “A view of Amsterdam Harbor,” painted by Reiner Nooms, I learned he painted this because he was trying to promote trade to the West Indies as well as other places. The message basically said to use Amsterdam’s ships and you will receive better goods and obtain them faster.
4) A work of art that felt sad to you. What? Why?
In the painting “Results of Poor Housing” made by Hale Woodruff, the title says it all. Everyone looked sad and had no food to eat as well as they were very tired.
5) A work of art that identifies a historic moment in time. What? When?
Kneeling Archer in the Terra Cotta Museum- Qin Dynasty 221-206 BC
6) A work of art that reminded you of something or someone in your life. Who?
In the “Self Portrait,” created by Chuck Close, I was reminded of everyone I knew in my life. Everyone is unique in their own way as well as everyone has different faces. Some depressed and others ecstatic.
7) A work of art that shocked you. What? Why?
I was shocked at how much precision and dedication it took to create these great master pieces.
8) Compare the Folk art gallery and the Contemporary gallery with the rest of the museum. The Folk and Contemporary Galleries were very unique and interesting in there own ways. The Folk Gallery was more of a group of people that decided to start painting without teachers or lessons which make their art works more creative as well as more unique than the Contemporary gallery painters that had lessons and teachers to teach them more proper ways of painting.
9) Describe the part of your High museum experience that was most meaningful to you.
While at the museum, I observed many art pieces and sculptures. The most meaningful thing to me was the Terra Cotta soldier exhibit. This was amazing to me because of the history that was behind each statue. I also knew how, when, and why they were made and I respect the Chinese heritage and history.

My Right Brain, Left Brain
Here is how the right and left parts of the human brain work.
Left Brain:
Sequential Analysis: systematic, logical interpretation of information. Interpretation and production of symbolic information:language, mathematics, abstraction and reasoning. Memory stored in a language format.
Right Brain:
Holistic Functioning: processing multi-sensory input simultaneously to provide "holistic" picture of one's environment. Visual spatial skills. Holistic functions such as dancing and gymnastics are coordinated by the right hemisphere. Memory is stored in auditory, visual and spatial modalities.

Fashion as Art

In fashion shows, designers use their art imaginations to design different dresses as well as other various types of clothing. Furthermore, the make-up that is worn during the fashion shows is also a work of art in that the make-up is applied to match or compliment the dress that is being worn.

Dancing
"BallRoom" DancingThe term "ballroom dancing" is derived from the word ball, which in turn originates from the Latin word ballare which means "to dance". In times past, ballroom dancing was "social dancing" for the privileged, leaving "folk dancing" for the lower classes. In the United States, two additional variations—"American Smooth" and "American Rhythm"—have also been popularized and are commonly recognized as styles of "ballroom dance".
