Answer:

Explanation:

I recommend listening to Dave Brubeck's Time Out. That whole record is an exploration of odd time signatures and unusual ways of subdividing rhythms, but in a way that still swings. Three of the more famous tracks, for example, are:

"Blue Rondo a la Turk": This is in 9/8, which is an old time signature dating back to the Baroque period, used when a composer wanted a triplet feel in 3/4 time. What makes this song different is that instead of the usual 3-3-3 break-down, Brubeck subdivides the beat into 2-2-2-3, which gives it a totally different feel.

"Take Five": This is in 5/4, subdivided into 3-2. You've heard this song a million times, even if you didn't know it. It's in every commercial that's trying for a "sophisticated luxury" feel. It isn't easy to make 5/4 sound mainstream, but this song does it.

"Three To Get Ready": This has a pattern of changing time signatures throughout the song. It's two bars of 3/4 followed by two bars of 4/4, then back to two bars of 3/4, then 4/4, etc. The drumming is interesting here: Joe Morello basically just brushes a 3/4 pattern on the snare during the whole song, but in the 4/4 bars it starts to syncopate, which then causes it to be "out of phase" in the 3/4 bars, gradually coming back into phase later.

Anyway. It's a great record and a wonderful collection of odd time experiments.

Please give me 3 clear and easy examples of elements in art
rewona [7]
1. Colour is the visual property of the pigment of an object that is detected by the eye and produced as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light. The human eye is capable of seeing millions of colours, making it one of the most diverse and powerful elements of art.

Each color has three properties—hue, value, and intensity. Hue is the name of a colour. Value is a colour’s lightness or darkness, which is altered when black or white is added. Intensity refers to the intensity of a colour, often measured by boldness or dullness.

Example of complementary colours in art, Hiroshige uses red and green to create contrast.

2. LINE

Line is an element of art defined as the path of a point moving through space. There are many types of line in art. Lines may be continuous or broken, and can be any width or texture. The great variety of line types make them an especially useful tool in artworks.

Example of gesture lines in art, Marino Marini uses big swooshing gesture lines that capture the action and energy of the subject.

3. SHAPE

A shape is an enclosed area of space created through lines or other elements of the composition.

Example of geometric shapes in art, Picasso uses circles, triangles, crescents, and rectangles.

How do you consider music as an Art​
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Music, the art of manipulating the combination of vocal or instrumental sounds to achieve formal beauty or emotional expression, generally follows the cultural standards of rhythm, melody, and harmony in most Western music. Simple folk songs and complex electronic compositions all belong to the same activity, music.
