Reviews of Events

If you have still to cover an event, you should check the listings under the category of “Events” on our class website.  There are still some Opera tickets offers and other great events.  If you need to do a review of Meet the Artist, then you could use one that took place during class time:  Dante Adela and Del-Barrio class and talk for example.

In persute of Truth

“Was Somebody asking to see the soul?

See , your own shape and countenance..”

Walt Whitman in Leaves of Grass

Please discuss one or two of the following statements:

1. When viewing a work of art, or listening to one, can we see

the truth?  Can we feel it?

2. Medieval artists resorted to Geometry to express a spiritual truth , and Baroque composers built their cannon on a mathematical symmetry.  Are these methods limit  our definitions of truth and therefore of beauty?

UMapper: a possible tool for your group project

As you’re thinking about your group projects, here’s a mapping tool that you might consider using.

Umapper is a web-based tool that allows you to create an interactive map that is embeddable on a website. In addition to marking your maps with points of interest and plot routes, it also allows you to insert images and annotations. You can even create a geodart game that allows your audience to interact with your map as a game.  You can also use a customized map instead of using online map providers like Google or Yahoo Maps.

Please feel free to contact me if you have an idea for a project, but are not quite sure how to carry it out. That’s why I’m here!

Annotating Youtube videos

Here’s a tool for you to consider using as you think of responding to this week’s assignment.

Annotating Youtube

Above is a screenshot of my youtube video, titled, “Body Language.” Notice the dialogue bubble? It pops up at 0:11 of the video. This is another way you kind provide commentary of your videos as you consider the question, “Is dance a language?”
