I visited the Louvre and Musee D'Orsay and got to see some of the most famous, expensive and valuable artworks ever created: Alexandros Venus De Milo, Claude Monet’s Water Lilies, Starry Night Over the Rhône and the Mona Lisa (Ryan, & Healy, 2008).

Interestingly many iconic artists have shared a similar perception including, Vincent Van Gough who wanted us to stop and look at the starry night and Andy Warhol who to raise awareness about popular culture, mass production and consumerism (Wright, 2011). ]]> 2018-03-25 07:14:16 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245793793 aclark324 https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245793966 2018-03-25 07:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245793966 Dance aclark324 https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245795499 Schiller & Meiners (2008) explain that dance is an integral part of human activity and can often be a means of inner expression, satisfying emotional, mental and physical needs. Personally, the only form of dance that I have engaged with over the years is yoga, aerobic and HITT exercises using Fitnessblender.com, Bella Dancerella, Just Dance and Kyle Hanagami all of which teach me new techniques developing my personal kinesphere along with manipulating and stretching my body to stay fit and healthy (Judith, 2017) (Ryan, & Healy, 2008). Although I do not consider myself a dancer, I have a huge respect for the art form particularly when it comes to health and wellbeing as movement is often referred to as a ‘sixth sense’ (Wright, 2011).]]> 2018-03-25 07:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245795499 Drama aclark324 https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245802214 Throughout High School I was very involved in drama and played roles in all the musicals including: Patience, Sound of Music and Fiddler on the Roof. I loved that we as the actors were the craftspeople interpreting characters in our own way, portraying our own self-expression and oral storytelling (Judith, 2017)(Ryan, & Healy, 2008). Along with acting roles I was heavily involved in costume and set designing both of which are important elements when it comes to putting on a production (Ryan, & Healy, 2008).]]> 2018-03-25 09:25:51 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245802214 aclark324 https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245802635 2018-03-25 09:30:45 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245802635 aclark324 https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245802731 2018-03-25 09:31:58 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245802731 aclark324 https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245802919 2018-03-25 09:33:43 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245802919 aclark324 https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245803502 2018-03-25 09:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245803502 aclark324 https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245803592 2018-03-25 09:42:09 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245803592 aclark324 https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245803677 2018-03-25 09:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245803677 aclark324 https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245803804 I have also travelled to Sydney to watch the Broadway production of Aladdin and The Lion King. I particularly enjoyed the Lion King as they represented the animal groups as puppets which came off the stage into the audience, a concept I have never seen before (Ryan, & Healy, 2008).]]> 2018-03-25 09:44:13 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245803804 aclark324 https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245804224 As well as watching Broadway shows, I also enjoy watching community productions including Phantom of the Opera which involved many community artists, musicians, dancers, actors and photographers (Ryan, & Healy, 2008).]]> 2018-03-25 09:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245804224 Music aclark324 https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245947585 For me, I feel the most relatable art form is music due to its power to communicate and portray feelings through specific musical elements linking psychological moods and sensory qualities (Ryan, & Healy, 2008) (Session, 1970). For example, music cannot express ‘happiness’, however specific variation in the tones, chords, accents, rhythmic design and other elements can create giddy, euphoric and joyful feelings replicating the atmosphere of happiness (Session 1970). The way music portraying feelings fascinates me and so does the idea of using music as a language bringing people together. I will often spend time researching this concept using resources and excerpts such as the ones shown below.]]> 2018-03-26 05:49:07 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245947585 aclark324 https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245947772 2018-03-26 05:50:56 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245947772 aclark324 https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245947803 2018-03-26 05:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245947803 aclark324 https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245948733 2018-03-26 05:59:17 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245948733 aclark324 https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245948865 There are six elements which together form the elements of music and they include Form, Rhythm, Texture, Pitch, Timbre, Dynamics and Expressive Techniques (Moriarty, 2018) (Ryan, & Healy, 2008).]]> 2018-03-26 06:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245948865 aclark324 https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245949505 Because I chose to do music in year 12 I spent a lot of time using these elements to ‘break down’ and analyse songs (Moriarty, 2018) (Ryan, & Healy, 2008). From repetitively breaking down different music I learnt to love all genres, and still today choose to listen to a wide variety of music not just the trending ‘Charting now Radio’ (“ARIA Singles Chart”, 2018).

I have originally been classically trained but have also had experience playing a range of different styles including: Australian, Baroque, Medieval, Classical, Rock, Romantic, Jazz, Fiddle, Irish and Religious repertoire (Ryan, & Healy, 2008). Attached are some of the pieces that I played for the HSC.

The most interesting piece I have done was inspired by dubstep violinist Lindsey Stirling who dances whilst she plays. One of my friends and I did a collaboration work combining dance, her passion, and music, my passion, in a seemingly unorthodox way challenging ‘norms’ just as Lindsey Stirling did, see clip below (Ryan, & Healy, 2011). ]]> 2018-03-26 06:50:36 UTC https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245956503 aclark324 https://padlet.com/aclark324/l0tpy9k2jese/wish/245956776 Lindsey Stirling is just one of my many progressive musical inspirations with the other predominant one being
