  • Peoples’ tastes changing over time (e.g. classical, jazz, etc) 
  • Different periods (baroque, classical, romantic) 
  • Technology’s evolution brings about music’s evolution (from CD to DVD, itunes to Soundcloud, new inventions like synthesizers and such) 

Composing: A pop song! 

  • What is a pop song? 
  • What is the instrumentation of a pop band? 

Why do people nowadays mostly like pop music?

What makes pop music what it is?


  • Lyrics are quite literal (content); relatable; lyrics and subject matter discussed are relevant 
  • Use of acoustic instruments like guitars 
  • Heavy bass (electric guitar, drums) 
  • Electronic mixing and autotune
  • Sound effects

To explore as many musical sounds (timbre, pitch, tempo, etc) , modify existing ideas by great masters  and test it out in my composing or performing before deciding on the final version.

Project Management:
To identify my target outcome, draft a practical time line and be realistic with my final product.

Expression:
Communication: To make sure that my/ my friend's communication is clearly and politely articulated to my group mates in the ensemble

Good: I explore several ways of manipulating the elements
to develop a solution that is well developed to substantial detail. I had tested and/or improved my prototypes a few times.

Needs Improvement:
I explore one way of manipulating the elements to develop a solution that is superficially developed, lacking in detail. I made only one prototype and did not test and/or improve it.

I used to think that art is only used using paint. But through this trip, I have learnt that even simple things can be used in our daily life to create amazing pieces of art.

]]> 2018-10-04 05:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/elyse_chew04/cxu3p0acow2n/wish/288967160 Peer evaluation elyse_chew04 https://padlet.com/elyse_chew04/cxu3p0acow2n/wish/291263912 I really like the way she created this artwork as even though it may seem simple, it portrays a lot about herself and really expresses herself through the artwork. She uses many photos to contribute to the array of colours, making it look interesting and aesthetic. Furthermore, the pictures are taken with her in it, which portrays herself as someone who really treasure relationships. The trees were also painted somewhat realistically, with two tones of colours for the leaves and trunk. Even though it may not be really realistic, I can tell that she tried, given that this is the first time she has painted something like this. One thing that she could improve on is probably the way she shows her photographs. For this artwork, I feel that her photos are not standing out enough and they seem to be a bit small, compared to the whole piece of artwork. Her photos are supposed to be standing out, but I feel that the background was more eye catching than the photos. She could also blend the two tones of colours for the leaves and trunk more evenly. 
All in all, she did a good job in expressing herself through this project.]]> 2018-10-10 14:22:05 UTC https://padlet.com/elyse_chew04/cxu3p0acow2n/wish/291263912
