Folk Music

2009-09-13T08:09:00.000-07:00

The term folk music originated in the 19th century as a term for musical folklore. It has been defined in several ways; as music transmitted by word of mouth, music of the lower classes, music with no known composer. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles.

Since the middle of the 20th century the term has also been used to describe a kind of popular music that is based on traditional music. Subgenres include folk rock, electric folk, folk metal and progressive folk music.

Fashion Design - Moda

www.estilos.com.br

Fashion design is the applied art dedicated to the design of clothing and lifestyle accessories created within the cultural and social influences of a specific time.
Fashion design differs from costume design due to its core product having a built in obsolescence usually of one to two seasons. A season is defined as either autumn/winter or spring/summer. Fashion design is generally considered to have started in the 19th century with Charles Frederick Worth who was the first person to sew their label into the garments that they created. While all articles of clothing from any time period are studied by academics as costume design, only clothing created after 1858 could be considered as fashion design.

Moda é a tendência de consumo da atualidade. A moda é composta de diversos estilos que podem ter sido influenciados sob diversos aspectos. Acompanha o vestuário e o tempo, que se integra ao simples uso das roupas no dia-a-dia. É uma forma passageira e facilmente mutável de se comportar e sobretudo de se vestir ou pentear.
Para criar estilo, os figurinistas utilizaram-se de cinco elementos básicos: a cor, a silhueta, o caimento, a textura e a harmonia.

Já o estilismo e o design são elementos integrantes do conceito moda, cada qual com os seus papéis bem definidos.

Graffiti - Grafite

www.laurie.com.br

Graffiti (singular: graffito; the plural is used as a mass noun) is the name for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property. Graffiti is often regarded by others as unsightly damage or unwanted vandalism.

Grafite ou Graffiti (do italiano graffiti, plural de graffito) significa "marca ou inscrição feita em um muro", e é o nome dado às inscrições feitas em paredes desde o Império Romano. Trata-se de um movimento organizado nas artes plásticas, em que o artista aproveita os espaços públicos, criando uma linguagem intencional para interferir na cidade. Com a revolução contracultural de maio de 1968, surgiram nos muros de Paris as primeiras manifestações. Os grafiteiros querem divulgar uma idéia. Grafite é a designação para a pinturas feitas em muros e paredes na rua. O grafite salta aos olhos nos grandes centros urbanos. É considerado por muitos como um ato de vandalismo, uma vez que suja as paredes de inúmeros edifícios, muitas vezes edíficações históricas.

O grafite tambem e uma forma de arte desde que nao se torne em um ato de vandalismo.

Circus (without the animals) - Circo ( sem animais)

2008-03-11T07:09:00.000-07:00

My Arte

Cirque Du Soleil

O circo é umas das mais antigas artes de espectáculos do mundo. Teve origem em povos nômades da Eurásia.
Existem muitos tipos de circo: circo de rua, circo tradicional, circo chinês, circo russo etc. O universo circense é na verdade um conjunto de diversas artes: malabarismo, palhaço, acrobacia, monociclo, equilibrismo, ilusionismo etc.
Há cerca de cinco mil anos anos, pinturas onde aparecem acrobatas, contorcionistas e equilibristas, foram descobertas na China, partindo daí uma hipótese do surgimento da arte circense. Naquela época, a acrobacia era utilizada como forma de treinamento para os guerreiros, pois gerava agilidade, flexibilidade e força.

Eu amo circo mas desde de que nao tenha animais. O Cirque Du Soleil faz um trabalho fantastico usando o corpo para representar os animais, arte pura.

A circus is most commonly a traveling company of performers that may include acrobats, clowns, trained animals, trapeze acts, hoopers, tightrope walkers, jugglers, unicyclists and other stunt-oriented artists. The word also describes the performance that they give, which is usually a series of acts that are choreographed to music. A circus is held in an oval or circular arena with tiered seating around its edge; in the case of traveling circuses this location is most often a large tent called the big top.

I love circuses but without the animals. Cirque Du Soleil does a fantastic job using the body to represent the animals...pure art.

Marionete

2008-03-07T19:50:00.001-08:00

Boneco de fio ou marionete (no Brasil) é uma espécie de boneco manipulado, por fios, cabos ou varetas, usado como forma de teatro de fantoches. Constitui-se numa forma de entretenimento para adultos e crianças.

"Se, por um instante, Deus se esquecesse de que sou uma marionete de trapo e me presenteasse com um pedaço de vida, possivelmente não diria tudo o que penso, mas, certamente, pensaria tudo o que digo. Daria valor às coisas, não pelo que valem, mas pelo que significam. Dormiria pouco, sonharia mais, pois sei que a cada minuto que fechamos os olhos, perdemos sessenta segundos de luz. Andaria quando os demais parassem, acordaria quando os outros dormissem. Escutaria quando os outros falassem e saborearia um bom sorvete de chocolate. Se Deus me presenteasse com um pedaço de vida, me vestiria simplesmente, jogaría-me de bruços no solo, deixando a descoberto não apenas meu corpo, como minha alma. Deus meu, se eu tivesse um coração, escreveria meu ódio sobre o gelo e esperaria que o sol o derretesse. Pintaria com um sonho de Van Gogh sobre estrelas um poema de Mário Benedetti e uma canção de Serrat seria a serenata que ofereceria à Lua. Regaria as rosas com minhas lágrimas para sentir a dor dos espinhos e o beijo encarnado de suas pétalas. Deus meu, se eu tivesse um pedaço de vida. Não deixaria passar um só dia sem dizer às pessoas - te amo, te amo. Convenceria cada mulher e cada homem que são os meus favoritos e viveria enamorada do amor. Aos homens, lhes provaria como estão enganados ao pensar que deixam de se apaixonar quando envelhecem, sem saber que envelhecem quando deixam de se apaixonar. A uma criança, lhe daria asas, mas deixaria que aprendesse a voar sozinha. Aos velhos ensinaria que a morte não chega com a velhice, mas com o esquecimento. Tantas coisas aprendi com vocês, os homens...Aprendi que todo mundo quer viver no cimo da montanha, sem saber que a verdadeira felicidade está na forma de subir a escarpa. Aprendi que quando um recém nascido aperta com sua pequena mão pela primeira vez, o dedo de seu pai, o tem prisioneiro para sempre. Aprendi que um homem só tem o direito de olhar um outro de cima para baixo para ajudá-lo a levantar-se. São tantas as coisas que pude aprender com vocês, mas finalmente, não poderão servir muito porque quando me olhare dentro dessa maleta, infelizmente estarei morrendo." Gabriel Garcia Marquez

A puppet is a representational figure manipulated by a puppeteer. It is usually but not always a depiction of a human character and is used in (a) play or a presentation. The puppet undergoes a process of transformation through being animated, and is normally manipulated by one, or sometimes more than one, puppeteer. Some puppets can be moved electronically.
Puppets are made of a wide range of materials, depending on the effect required and the amount of usage intended, and can be extremely complex or very simple in their construction. There are many different varieties of puppets.

Flamenco Dance - Danca Flamenca

2008-03-06T20:29:00.000-08:00

Anonymous

O flamenco é um estilo musical e um tipo de dança fortemente influenciado pela cultura cigana, mas que tem raízes mais profundas na cultura musical mourisca, influência de árabes e judeus. A cultura do flamenco é associada principalmente a Andaluzia na Espanha, e tornou-se um dos ícones da música espanhola e até mesmo da cultura espanhola em geral.
O "novo flamenco" é uma variação recente do flamenco que sofreu influências da música moderna, como a rumba, a Salsa, o pop, o rock e o jazz.
pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamenco

Flamenco is a Spanish musical genre with strong, rhythmic undertones and is often accompanied with a similarly impassioned style of dance characterized by its powerful yet graceful execution, as well as its intricate hand and footwork. Flamenco embodies a complex musical and cultural tradition. Although considered part of the culture of Spain in general, flamenco actually originates from one region: Andalusia.

Dance

2008-03-03T15:58:00.000-08:00

Anonymous Artist

Dance (from French danser, perhaps from Frankish) generally refers to movement of the body, usually rhythmic and to music, used as a form of expression, social interaction or presented in a spiritual or performance setting.
Dance is also used to describe methods of non-verbal communication (see body language) between humans or animals (bee dance, patterns of behaviour such as a mating dance), motion in inanimate objects (the leaves danced in the wind), and certain musical forms or genres.

Dance has certainly been an important part of ceremony, rituals, celebrations and entertainment since before the birth of the earliest human civilizations.

Human Statues - Vitrine Viva

2008-03-02T13:57:00.001-08:00

The human statues which adorn the streets of many towns and cities lend a somewhat stylish atmosphere. These human works of art, with their flawless make-up, costumes and even pedestals create a complete illusion. At first the audience is intrigued by the silent, immobile statue, but then becomes eager to catch its attention and interact with it as it winks, flirts and dances.

A vitrine viva surgiu na década de 80. São performances robóticas e perfeitas que podem ser desenvolvidas a partir de qualquer ideia. Controle sobre os movimentos do corpo; técnicas e mímicas, que prende a atenção dos convidados.

Body Percussion - Barbatuques

2008-03-01T11:48:00.000-08:00

Sounds produced by use of the body, eg clap, snap, slap, tap, stamp, etc.

Barbatuques is an artistic and pedagogic nucleus that researches body percussion. The musical expression through the exploration of various sounds that may be produced by the human body is the central theme of this work that is being realized since 1995, initiated by the musician Fernando Barba. Both as a musical group in stages and recordings and also as a nucleus of teachers providing workshops in different areas, Barbatuques has been performing for many years in Brazil and abroad.

The body percussion work of the group Barbatuques began with the musician Fernando Barba through his own interest in making sounds with his body, a habit that was internally baptized with the word barbatuques.

In 1996 Fernando founded the group Barbatuques, gathering students and partners of this on-going research.

Um dos melhores trabalhos de percussao corporal que eu ja vi e a do grupo brasileiro Barbatuques. E incrivel a harmonia de sons que eles produzem.

I Love Colors - Eu Amo Cores

2008-02-29T15:38:00.000-08:00

By Babel Franco

By Paulo Martins

By Oscar Montoya

Eu amo todas as cores, eu simplesmente amo cores elas me fascinam....

Color or colour is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories called red, yellow, blue, black, etc. Color derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light energy versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the ligh receptors. Color categories and physical specifications of color are also associated with objects, materials, light sources, etc., based on their physical properties such as light absorption, reflection, or emission spectra.

The science of color is sometimes called chromatics. It includes the perception of color by the human eye and brain, the origin of color in materials, color theory in art, and the physics of electromagnetic radiation in the visible range (that is, what we commonly refer to simply as Light).

Color can influence our emotions, our actions and how we respond to various people, things and ideas. Much has been studied and written about color and its impact on our daily lives.
Many people believe that colors are powers, and that colored stones are especially powerful. Here are some of the meanings of colors and the energies contained in their corresponding stones.

Brazilian Folklore

2008-02-28T18:50:00.000-08:00

Traditional celebrations and Brazilian Folklore are among the richest and most expressive of the world, appearing in songs, legends, dances, beliefs, and literature. The mixture of Indigenous, Negro, and Caucasian races forms the Brazilian Nation, creating an intense diversity in folkloric events all over the country.

The numerous traditions in Brazilian Folklore are so numerous that they sometimes interfere with the day to day life of the population. The phases of the moon, for example, determine when to plant and when to sow. Some folkloric traditions of Brazil spill out over the borders, drawing a large number of tourists from all over the world to visit.

Sand Art - Arte Na Areia

Sand Sculpture - Brazil

Lommel

China Style

Known as a modern art for only 20 years, sand sculpting is a popular and recreational art capable of drawing widespread attention from the public. Sand sculptures can create new tourist programmes wherever they go, bringing in considerable commercial profits. From this point of view, the art is the result of the perfect combination of modern art and modern commerce and is closely linked with tourism. For the last 20 years, this symbiosis has greatly promoted the development of sand sculptures around the world.

The two basic building ingredients, sand and water, are available in abundance on a sandy beach, so most sand play takes place there, or in a sandpit. The sand must be reasonably fine, otherwise the grains will not stick together. Dry sand is loose, wet sand adherent, except when it is too wet. Sand sculpting as an art form has become very popular in recent years. Hundreds of annual competitions are held all over the world. Techniques can be quite sophisticated, with record-breaking achievements recorded in the Guinness World Records. Sometimes contests are staged as advertising or promotional events.

I Am A Narrator

2008-02-24T16:53:00.000-08:00

A narrator is an entity within a story that tells the story to the reader. It is one of three entities responsible for story-telling of any kind. The others are the author and the reader (or audience). The author and the reader both inhabit the real world. It is the author's function to create the alternate world, people, and events within the story. It is the reader's function to understand and interpret the story. The narrator exists within the world of the story (and only there—although in non-fiction the narrator and the author can share the same persona, since the real world and the world of the story are the same) and presents it in a way the reader can comprehend.A narrator tells the story from their point of view.Story telling is an old art that has followed humanity since the construction of verbal languages. However, the act of story telling has lost its’ meaning and importance in today’s society. It is almost completely lost in daily life. The loss of the narrator figure brings the loss of much history and many memories. In the fields of art and education, the practice of story telling must be revived. This lost art helps us to remember the past and project the future.

A contacao de historias perdeu o seu significado e a sua importancia. Posso dizer que e uma perda muito grande na historia da humanidade, a perda da memoria. Quem ja nao vivenciou momentos de "contacao de historias? Em uma roda de amigos ou com a familia? Eu me lembro ate hoje as historias que a minha tia Concheta nos contava quando eramos criancas, chegava a dar medo uhh eram historias de lobisomem, saci, mula sem cabeca e por ai vai... o que eu quero dizer e que temos que reavivar esse habito que muito nos acrescenta e como se fosse uma identidade do que somos.

The Importance Of Art

2008-02-20T20:34:00.000-08:00

Victor Meireles de Lima1832-1903

To some people art is very important, to others it is nothing. To most, it is nice, but fades besides the everyday problems of physical survival, housing, food, money, children, etc.
The fact is it is an observable fact that art makes people happier.
Always among the highest expression of every culture, the arts teach us much about every historical period through its literature, visual arts, music, dance, and drama. Art tells the stories of the past and present, and inspires minds, both young and old, to do beautiful things. Today it is recognized that to be truly well educated one must not only learn to appreciate the arts, but must have rich opportunities to actively participate in creative work. The arts are languages that most people speak, cutting through individual differences in culture, educational background, and ability. They can bring every subject to life and turn abstractions into concrete reality. Learning through the arts often results in greater academic achievement and higher test scores.
I belive that we can change many things through the art and I will not give up.

Artesanato de Olinda - Alto da Sé, Cidade Alta, Olinda, Pernambuco, Brasil. Picture: Nellyann Carneiro de Assis

Arts and crafts comprise a whole host of activities and hobbies that are related to making things with one's own hands and skill. These can be sub-divided into handicrafts or "traditional crafts" (doing things the old way) and "the rest". Some crafts have been practised for centuries, while others are modern inventions, or popularisations of crafts which were originally practised in a very small geographic area.

Most crafts require a combination of skill, speed, and patience, but they can also be learnt on a more basic level by virtually anyone.

O Artesanato é essencialmente o próprio trabalho manual ou produção de um artesão. Mas com a mecanização da indústria o artesão é identificado como aquele que produz objetos pertencentes à chamada cultura popular.

Os primeiros objetos feitos pelo homem eram artesanais. Isso pode ser identificado no período neolítico (6.000 a.C.) quando o homem aprendeu a polir a pedra, a fabricar a cerâmica como utensílio para armazenar e cozer alimentos, e descobriu a técnica de tecelagem das fibras animais e vegetais.
