Art and the Connection

     On Friday, we discussed the article "Black Men and Public Spaces", analyzing the techniques the author used to help create a message.  In fourth hour the same day, the whole Jazz Band listened to three pieces of music and made a similar analyzation.  The way we discussed the message and the ways it was conveyed was alike; transitions, effects in sound,  overall mood all were considered in both discussions. What does this mean? Varying forms of art are connected.
    At 11:45 Thursday night, I looked up the week two vocab words and found that many of the definitions-- surrealism for example-- applied much beyond literature; a couple seemed to have the literary use as the second definition. Merriam-Webster defines it as "a 20th-century art form in which an artist or writer combines unrelated images or events in a very strange and dreamlike way," (merriam-webster.com).  This, at least to mean, implies painting and sculpting.  Even the example used on the vocab quiz was an example of a painting instead of an example found in writing. What does this mean? Varying forms of art are connected.
     Right now, I am listening to Shofukan by Snarky Puppy.  This song has many different parts, causing split up sections with different ways of portraying the same feeling.  The way that these musicians chose to make this piece of music is similar to how I choose to write this; sections leading to a main point. What does this mean? Varying forms of art are connected.
    Similar to a musical chorus, literature can have a repeated lines, and paintings may have a specific color scheme and details. The entire concept of all relation in art seems simple but many don't seem to see this; in fact, this realization struck me when I had two discussions on art work in two completely different classes Friday. "Something can be perfectly simple without being perfectly obvious" Mr. Aldinger says, and this is true for not only economics. What does this mean? Varying forms of art are connected.
