Good luck at school this year! I wish you all the best and I hope you all can make great music/art. Remember to be leaders anywhere you go. I miss you all so much, even Dara's weird noises, Angel's Monke drawings, the "besties" group, and Litzy's art! You all are so talented and have grown so much. I am teaching and starting a band program at Mount Airy Christian Academy this year. But I'll never forget my first class- you guys!

This week we talked about communication and different ways our family and ourselves naturally handle conflicts with others. We reflected on our habits, tendencies, and what habits we want to change, and ones we want to adopt when handling conflicts. Afterwards, students created a short story or script for a conflict scenario and how they would work it out.

My friend told my other friend that i said something bad to him but it wasn't true. So I told my friend to meet me here and let's talk about why you decided to say that.when we meet up i could say did i do anything wrong i didn't notice. If that's the case could you tell me what I didn't like? At the end of it he told me and i said i'm sorry i wont say that again.

There once was a student who decided to make an unnecessary comment about another student. They thought it was a wonderful idea to make fun of someone else's clothes even though everyone is entitled to wear what they want. The other student wasn't bothered by this odd comment but still chose to speak up because some people may be hurt by it. Although at first the student did not want to listen, they finally understood that everyone likes different things and that doesn't give them the right to be rude. The student apologized and was more understanding after that day.

Ann白安【是什麼讓我遇見這樣的你What brings me to you】 MV官方完整版

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
小女聲的強心臟 small girl 自己詞 自己曲 自己唱 剛好長大 BIG VOICE 21歲全創作第一張成年禮 是什麼讓我們遇見這樣的白安 剛剛好夠我們從此無所畏黑暗 剛好長大 剛開始明白自己渺小 剛好懂事 但還沒準備好世故 白安Ann 麥田捕手 12.21正式發行 是什麼 讓我遇見這樣的你? 白安：微不足道的我，遇見這樣的你。 我覺得：那應該有些道理。 我: 「對別人來說、或者對自己來說，我常常覺得自己很微不足道、很什麼都不是；只是一直悶著頭寫寫唱唱，但是那些透過音樂喜歡我的人，卻給了我力量；是『你』讓我可以和自我懷疑、猶豫正面對決，不會覺得孤單。雖然有時也會搞砸、或是做得不夠好，但是會不斷努力、想證明自己值得擁有那些喜歡。」 剛好只像自己 小女孩的強心臟 不逞強-無造作-等身大的21歲 剛剛好的白安 剛好夠世界免於不安 17歲時在音樂中遇見自己，2008年在Streetvoice.com音樂網站中遇見知己；累積網路近16萬人次的點閱率，是白安發行第一張個人創作專輯的最大力量。白安用音符和文字記述，吟唱這些源於日常營生的酸甜或平凡。 「是什麼讓我遇見這樣的你」是白安在北京進行錄音工作時所寫下的，在陌生而廣闊的城市裡；她深刻地感受到相對於時間、空間與這整個世界，個人的存在是多麼渺小；而對於音樂的敏銳，以及與生俱來的獨特嗓音，讓她可以遇見有相同理念、喜好的人；這每一個小小的「遇見」，都匯流成了白安奇異的音樂旅程。 21歲還是有脫不去的孩子氣，有些事或許還不能明白、也未曾經歷；但對於煩囂衝動的城市來說，青澀的眼睛有時反而看的更為清明。遇見喜歡的人，知道自己輕微的像一顆塵埃；遇見成人世界的潛規則，覺得自己是塊粗蠢的大石頭； 只有在音樂裡，白安才確認了自己的模樣，知道「剛剛好」、「等身大」的自己，才是最適合也最自然的狀態。 正因為如此，對於難過，她不想逞強逼自己毫不在意；對於歡快，她不習慣做作地裝出習以為常；面對這些情緒，白安覺得：「用剛好的字眼，才能還原當下真正的心情。」 用剛好的心情,唱坦白的自己 剛好懂事 還沒準備好世故 剛好在2012的不安 遇見這樣的白安... 白安 首張個人創作專輯[麥田捕手] 12/21正式發行 ★ 專輯同名主打【麥田捕手The Catcher in the Rye】official MV http://youtu.be/e8tNF9thAkQ follow us 白安FB.........

BeepBox is an online tool for sketching and sharing instrumental melodies.

All song data is contained in the URL at the top of your browser. When you make changes to the song, the URL is updated to reflect your changes. When you are satisfied with your song, just copy and paste the URL to save and share your song!

BeepBox is a passion project, and will always be free to use. If you find it valuable and have the means, any gratuity via would be appreciated!

Instructions

You can add or remove notes by clicking on the gray rows at the top. BeepBox automatically plays the notes out loud for you. Try it!

Notes go into patterns, and you can edit one pattern at a time. Those numbered boxes at the bottom of the editor are the different patterns you can edit. Click the other boxes to move to a different part of the song, or click the arrows on the currently selected box to swap which pattern is played during that part of the song.

BeepBox can play several rows of patterns simultaneously, and each row has its own set of patterns. Most rows can play melodies or harmonies, but the bottom row is for drums.

The purple loop underneath the numbered boxes controls which part of the song is currently repeating. Move the loop to listen to a different part of the song, or drag the ends to expand the loop to include the whole song.

When BeepBox has focus (click on its interface above), you can use these keyboard shortcuts:

Spacebar: play or pause the song

Z: undo

Y or Shift Z: redo

C: copy pattern from selection

V: paste pattern into selection

1-8: assign a pattern number to selection

Arrows: move selection

[ ]: move playhead backward or forward

Shift & Drag: select part of a pattern (long press on touch screen)

Check BeepBox's edit menu for more!

In the note pattern editor, you can click and drag horizontally on a note to adjust its duration. You can also click above or below an existing note to add more notes to be played simultaneously, which is called a chord.

ADVANCED: Drag vertically from an existing note to bend its pitch, or drag vertically from above or below the note to adjust its volume. Drag on the numbered pattern boxes to select multiple patterns to copy and paste parts of your song.

BeepBox has many more features. Try playing with the buttons and menus on the right side to find out what it can do! You can also click on the label next to each option for a description of what it does.

Check out some of these songs that other people have posted on Twitter! If you find something you like, you should let the creator know! And if you see any beginners asking for advice, maybe you can help them!

Blog post about understanding abstract art!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
If you've ever been to a museum, a dinner party, or seen a Woody Allen movie, you've probably heard people discussing "abstract art"-but it seems like every time the topic comes up, it gets more convoluted. What do people really mean by this phrase? Yes, abstract means something that is not attempting to represent reality. But how can it apply to so many different things? In popular culture, the term "abstract" has become like a parody of the art world itself, usually applied when "meaningless" or "impossible to understand" is meant.

Abstract art doesn't have to be so unclear. There is a way to "read" an abstract painting, just as there is to understand and interpret a more realistic painting. The history and progression of art through the ages illuminates the contemporary scene and provides a solid background from which to immerse yourself in seemingly incomprehensible works. And a basic understanding can take you a long way!

Walking through an extremely simplified history of modern art is a good way to gain an understanding of abstraction as a cohesive movement. Here's about 300 years of art history crunched down into the basic facts (with obvious simplifications and omissions!):

Realism

Virtually all visual art was completely representational until the mid to late 19th century. In fact, most great painters' ambition was to create such perfect illusions of reality that any trace of the their own work was invisible. Despite later trends toward depicting socially realistic subjects and "average" people, for the most part, painting served the purposes of religious dogma, commissioned portraiture, and historical commemorations.

Impressionism

Originally coined after a critic insulted Claude Monet's skill-level as only capable of a mere "impression" of a sunrise, this was one of the first movements away from pure realism. Artists like Renior, Degas, and Seurat emphasized the importance of the artist's way of seeing the world over a strict depiction of it, studying the effects of light, perspective, and time on a scene rather than its exact representation.

Expressionism

Starting in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century, a set of artists around the world including Edvard Munch, Marc Chagall, and Paul Klee began infusing their paintings with explicit moods and emotions. The goal of painting became to depict mind-set of the artist at the time of painting a scene, sometimes completely separated from reality. Expressionism was one of the first iterations of a movement toward the deliberate revelation of brushstrokes and an intentionally "painterly" method.

Post-Impressionism & Cubism

As the 20th century progressed, the inclusion of the artist's perspective and alternative ways of seeing led to movements such as Cubism, founded by Pablo Picasso as an attempt to show objects and scenes in the way that the human mind perceives them. A cubist painting does not represent an object like a violin at only one angle, but as one vibrant, constantly shifting whole. Similarly, Post-Impressionist painters such as Paul Cezanne took the ideas of Impressionist artists one step further by moving closer to abstraction, intentionally distorting color and shape for the sake of more truthful representations of the world as they saw it.

Surrealism

As artists continued to favor a different sense of accuracy in representation, further movements sprung up throughout the middle of the 20th century. Surrealism was an important milestone in modern art, focusing on the inclusion of random chance in artistic practice, and attempting to describe the unconscious mind in ways that were necessarily non-representational. Choosing a place other than the real world as its subject was one of the greatest legacies left by the Surrealists to contemporary abstract art.

Abstract Expressionism

By the second half of the 20th century, art was transforming rapidly. A group of New York artists including Jackson Pollock, Dutch-born William de Kooning, and Franz Kline began to push the boundaries of previous movements by focusing on the paint itself as their subject. Large-scale canvases became about the action of painting; the canvas was meant to be the remnant of an artist's specific interaction with materials. AbEx paintings can have that "my kindergartener could have drawn that" quality to the untrained eye, but the very intentional approaches of these artists (and their tortured personal lives) reveal very real artistic contemplations.

Minimalism, Post-Painterly Abstraction, & 21st Century Pluralism

After the Abstract Expressionists stretched the properties of painting to their limits, countless waves of new movements responded to and expanded their ideas. Artists such as Frank Stella and Ellsworth Kelly continued to experiment with color, but moved away from the concept of paint as the star of a work and toward a less gestural, more "hard-edged" form. Known as minimalism, this movement spawned other movements with influences reaching to artists today. The Pop Art, Conceptual Art, and Performance Art movements of the latter half of the 20th century were yet other offshoots of the progression of modern art, expanding on the ideas of these abstract artists and introducing new themes such as consumerism and politics as the main tools of representation.

Which leads us to today.

The state of 21st century abstract art is difficult to encapsulate because it's still developing and because, in typical modern form, it defies categorization. In addition, all contemporary art is not the result of a logical progression from these art historical movements: returns to realism and myriad different styles and techniques contribute to a sense of Pluralism as the defining characteristic, if there is one, of today's art.

Ways of Reading

With a basic idea of the history of abstract art, you can apply a method to every painting you see-so when you're faced with a "what the heck am I looking at" piece, you'll know where to begin.

When looking at any artwork, most people's first question tends to be "What is this about?" That's a good place to start, but it won't take you very far when looking at an abstract work-unless you're willing to think more creatively. With abstract painting, the piece can be "about" the paint on the canvas, as with Abstract Expressionism; it can be "about" the process of painting for an artist personally; it can even be about the meaning of abstract art itself! Does the painting convey a mood-state or atmosphere, like an Expressionist painting? What does it prompt you to think about? Are you confronted with a particular color or shape? How does what you're looking at make you feel? These are all sure-fire points of excavation: begin with asking yourself these kinds of questions and you'll find the answers a lot less mysterious.

Understanding

When applying these historical and analytical methods to taking in art, lingering doubts about certainty and "doing it right" may surface. At times like these, a little research can always be helpful, even if that just means reading the descriptions of a piece on a museum wall or consulting a gallerist about their featured artist. It can be so interesting to know the artist's or curator's ideas behind a piece. Be careful, however, of over-doing it with the descriptions: don't fall into the trap of believing that you need to do more reading than obvserving. Trying to filter what you see through what you know can be a rewarding experience, but it is one that can begin to inhibit your true appreciation of a piece if you let it.

Another important thing to remember when trying to understand abstract art is that you are always in dialogue with the piece by virtue of being its viewer. The artist has probably carefully considered your role as the viewer of the painting and wants it to speak to you on some level. So you don't have to feel like you're solving a mystery that has one correct answer! Artists are often delight to hear what different viewers uncover in dialogue with their artwork, even if it's nowhere near the artist's intent. If a piece just doesn't speak to you, that's ok. It's probably not for you.

Abstract Art in Your Collection

As you become more adept at interpreting and appreciating abstract art, you'll find it's the perfect medium for any home or space in need of a burst of energy. In your home, abstract art is the solution for complementing your decor with art: without distracting images, scenes, or objects to clash or detract, there's nothing but color and form to complement your furniture, wall-color, or whatever piece you're working around. The other great thing about abstract art is that it can mean something to you that no one else sees.

A painting with yellow tones and sharp lines might feel romantic to you for your bedroom, while grey lines convey a sense of peace for your living room: the personal interpretation involved in defining these kinds of subjective spaces makes the process that much more special. As an added bonus, your guests will constantly find their own sense of meaning in the works that adorn your space. An abstract piece will have that unique, one-of-a-kind quality that any space can use.

With this crash course, you have the tools to explore abstract art and discover what you love. As with almost everything relating to art, the most important thing to remember is to have fun and not to worry about whether you know what you're supposed to. If you find yourself drawn to abstract pieces, trust your instincts and the rest will follow: becoming educated about something you're interested in can become a hobby unto its own!
