Dada Movement

 Dada or Dadaism is an art movement that happened in the 20th century and was a controversial movement. It is also a movement in literature based on deliberate irrationality and negation of traditional artistic values. It raises an argument because it is considered to go against what art actually is. The father of this movement was Duchamp by making "art" from gluing a wheel to a table. The movement arose after World War I. It included ideals based of Cubism, Expressionism, and Constructivism and its output was very diverse from anything to performance art, poetry, photography, sculpting, and painting. The main focus of the artists during this time period was not on crafting aesthetically pleasing objects but instead crafting objects that raised difficult questions about society, the role of the artist, and the purpose of art. 


Music works and comments assignment

 Rap

Rap is definitely my favorite genre of music. Every friday the first thing I do when I wake up is go on apple music and try to see what albums dropped that day. I have a lot of different artists that I listen to and I'd be sitting here forever telling you all their names. But if I had to pick one artist it would probably be Drake. He is a household name and really connects with my generation. I love how he supports the Toronto Raptors the way he does, and my favorite song by him is "Pain 1993" because of the beat and message behind it.

Country

I don't really listen to Country as much as I used to, but it still has a place in my heart because of family background. My dads side of the family is from a small rural town called Morristown in Tennessee. They are very country over there so when I go their I get a bigger taste of country music because it describes their way of life over there. Theirs a lot of good artists out their but my favorite is Billy Currington. My favorite song by him is called "We Are Tonight" because of the way it makes me feel.

Electronic/Dance

This type of genre is definitely something I listen to only when I'm at a party or rave. EDM is awesome to listen to from DJs that properly mix and who can relate and connect with their audience. My favorite artist and song is by the Chainsmokers called "Closer." I like the message and the beat and it really sets the mood.

21st century Inventions

 Their has been numerous inventions throughout the 21st century. The invention I chose to talk about was the electric car. More specifically, The Tesla is one of the most ingenious inventions in my opinion. Before this, our main source of transportation was gas cars, however these are detrimental to society and really affects the atmosphere and environment in a bad way. We have evolved a lot in a very short time from bicycles to airplanes and even spaceships which is crazy to think about. I think this is going to influence a lot in the upcoming future and give people a totally different mindset on getting from point A to point B. I see a lot of things going robotic and being systematic which is interesting but will take away a lot of paying jobs. This could stem to cars being driven without having a driver allowing the "driver" to sleep during the trip. This seems very futuristic and I'm not sure how it will all pan out in the future of transportation.

Editing Tools

 I'm very new to iMovie and editing videos and have only used the program maybe two or three times. But from what I have learned on the software so far is a few things. If you use a youtube to mp3 converter you can easily add soundtracks to your video that aren't offered on iMovie. Their is an advanced tools button that gives you more options than just the general transitions or text bars. To use this select preferences > show advanced tools, and then close the iMovie preferences window. I am still getting acquainted with movie making and myself am still trying to soak up as much knowledge I can in order to make the best video possible. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
