The color of blue is overused.
You have said numerous times that "the color of blue is dead", meaning that it is overused in art, advertising, websites, etc... My contention is that it is a beautful color, other colors get their fair share of exposure, and that there are important reasons why blue gets the attention that it does....
art is needed in todays society
our society fast-paced daily lives have made the arts obsolete - we have forgotten to observe such little things like the arts and devalued it. we take it for granted and forgotten to appreciate it....
Winds kick Brass
Totally bored and don't want to talk about Halo or Call of Duty, so let's debate on band. Just for fun =D Certainly not too serious Woodwinds have a much wider range in musical styles and a much larger pitch range! There are also much more woodwinds than brass instruments. Let's list them: piccalo flute alto flute bass flute Eb clarinet Bb clarinet bass clarinet oboe basoon soprano saxophone alto saxophone tenor saxophone baritone saxophone and I'm sure I forgot some! Oh...
The best musical instrument is the piano.
There are many musical instruments, each of them with their particular perks and letdowns, but all of them simply fall short when in comparison to the piano. I have several reasons as to why this is true. First, the piano requires not only the most talent (both musical AND physical) but the most effort as well to successfully play it well. Another reason is that you can do more with the piano than any other instrument. With instruments like the cello, viola, electric guitar, etc, you...
graffiti IS IT RIGHT OR IS IT WRONG????
grafiti art should be ok if it's artistic but if it's not artistic then i think it should be fined or painted over the grafiti that is art i think is usually speaking out of harritatge and all that jazz and i think that it should be praised instead of looked down upon becuase it has a meaning and it is art with a voice behind it...
Should we establish more government funding to support artistic projects?
Contrary to capitalist beliefs, the arts provides intellectual insight and personal reflection unlike any other particular center of study. But, for some reason, the arts are heavily underfunded. . .especially theatre. More and more senators are concerned with students knowing how to calculate numbers and know how to construct a nuclear bomb, but they don't seem to be concerned that our students will not be able to compete in the true forum, the academia forum. If Hollywood can find all this mon...
Show Choir Competition judges are/can be picked with a bias against some choirs.
First off, let me say that this shouldn't turn into a very personal debate. I'm just trying to see both sides of this story. Also, my main source for my statements is this fall's Central Crossing HS Show Choir Competition in Grove City, OH. In favor of the topic, I bring forth 3 contentions: 1. Time slot placement of choirs "blinds" the judges of equally judging groups. Let's say we have a good,large and loud group performing at 1:00 PM, and we have a smaller yet equally good group at...
Middle school Chorus is harder than middle schoolband.
Middle School Chorus is harder than Middle School Band because according to most middle school chorus teachers must teach their student musical theory, history, vocal technique, vocal production, choral technique, expressiveness, dynamics, tempo, musical terms, performance, musical literacy, rhythm, pitch, melody, harmony, score study, and analysis. That is lot to learn compared to what band has to learn. This is multi tasking, tempo, musical terms, rhythm, score study, and analysis. Chorus lear...
The Government Should Not Fund The Arts
The US Government, or any government for that matter, should not be in the business of funding the art industry. For the same reason the government shouldn't fund gas companies or stock brokers, artists should have to prove their worth in the marketplace. Professional artists choose their job like the rest of us (unless you live in a socialistic country). Artists know exactly what the salary and risk is before they choose their profession. The government should not take someone else's hard ea...
Con Air: Great Movie or Greatest Movie?
Con Air is the best all-around movie ever, not because it is the greatest in every category, but because it is great in every category. Con Air has comedy, it has a love story, it has a redemption story, it has action, it has an underdog, it has Cameos galore, it has a great sound track, it has lovable characters, it has villains that one can really hate. I believe that Con Air has everything one could want in a movie, therefor I nominate it for best all-around movie ever....
