Areas of real beauty - this case of inspirational content can most frequently be observed in the work of naturalist-artists, and the impressionists. Large aspects of water such as seas and rivers are especially preferred.
2) Notable others - the notable others of experts have highlighted prominently in art, both in traditional art and more recent works. To see how these people who profoundly affected the lives of others are recreated as a muse is incredibly interesting.
3) Current events - Artists often aim to follow political events or circumstances that are occurring right now in the world, so as to add their own voice and scene into the conversation.
4) Self-portraits - It's always interesting to see how any individual views themselves, especially when their musical talent enables us to see not only their view of themselves but to reconsider how we view ourselves.
Of these four examples of subject matter, I am personally most drawn to art that features events that were/are current.
The concept of using dynamic markings (which indicate the relative loudness of different sections in the music) in sheet music came about around the same time as the piano — for good reason. Before the invention of the piano by Bartolomeo Cristofori in 1709, most composers were confined to writing most of their pieces for either the harpsichord or the clavichord; neither instrument had the capability to play both soft and loud sounds easily.
The reason for this is that the basic internal design of both the harpsichord and the clavichord follows the design of a stringed instrument. However, instead of having one’s fingers in direct contact with the string, as with a guitar or a fiddle, harpsichords and clavichords are fitted with a plucking mechanism inside the instrument itself. When a certain key is pressed, the corresponding internal string is plucked by the mechanism. No matter how hard or soft you press the keys of either instrument, the resulting volume is pretty much the same. Therefore, clavichords were used for quiet pieces of music that required lots of vibrato (quavering quality to notes that usually comes from a stringed instrument), whereas harpsichords were used for louder, brighter-sounding pieces.
Although the piano looks a lot like these two other instruments, it’s really very different. The piano incorporates a hammer-and-lever mechanism that strikes each string with the same force as the human finger on the piano key did; this is why the piano is considered a percussive instrument. The piano made both quiet and loud sounds possible on the same instrument, and, therefore, in the same musical piece. This is why the piano was originally named the gravicèmbalo col pian e forte, or “harpsichord with soft and loud.” The name was later shortened to pianoforte and, finally, to piano.
Since its inception, the piano has been the universal tool of choice for composing music, because almost every note you would ever want to work with is present on the keyboard, right there in front of you. Most pianos have at least 7 octaves to work with, and concert pianos can have more than 12 octaves.
<span>It is very interesting and controversial story, same as
personality and carrier of Sun Ra, themselves. Sun Ra was probably forced to
leave college because of financial problems and his growing sense of isolation,
but he claimed that he had a vision in which the aliens talked to him and told
him to leave college and to play music, because that is his mission. He
explained that, in this vision, he found him self on the planet that he
recognized as Saturn, and that aliens told him that the world is going into
complete chaos, and that he should speak through music and that the world will
hear. Sun Ra was an American jazz composer, bandleader, pianist and synthesizer
player, known for his experimental approach to the music and controversial personality.</span>
<u>Answer:</u> B. the main shapes or subjects in a painting
<em>The main shapes or subjects in a paintings are called positive shapes.</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
<em>Positive shapes are the shapes of the actual objects and negative shapes are the distance between the objects. </em>
The positive space is the area covered by the actual painting or drawing or the actual actual representation of the object and the negative space is the space filled in by the object <em>for example, The positive space is the actual drawing of the window frame and the negative space is the window space.</em>
