Blog #3: What is your favourite type of art?

For me, I appreciate all art, but I guess music is what moves me the most. I enjoy visiting a gallery now and again, but after a while one painting or one sculpture just starts to look like the next and the next...  I love literature as well, but I'm not always in the mood for it. Film is fantastic, but there's too much of it. However, if you ever ask me to go out to a pub, theatre, or arena to see a good musician, hear a great drum solo, or watch a professional pick a guitar, I'll never refuse. Watching and listening to good musicians always brings pleasure to me, and it moves me to do other artistic things.

What about you? Please include your Section # and ID in your posting.  Aj. M

  1. #5580133 Section 11 My favorite type of art is photography. This is because every photographs can pass on ideas and intention of the artist to the audience very well just like other kinds of art. However, when we consider the amount of time and cost artists spend you can clearly see a difference. It takes you 5 simple steps to create something which we called a masterpiece. 1. take out your camera 2. zoom in and out to find the right angle 3.press shutter button 4.retouch the photos 5.print out. On the other hand, artists spend months time to produce a piece of painting. It already took them more than a day to sketch a picture without applying any colour or texture. I felt that it is too time consuming. Finally, photographs are easy to be collect.

    1. There is a real difference between photography as a hobby and photography as an art. I love art photography, but I get quite bored with the picture my friends put on facebook.

    For me, music and photography makes me happy all the time. I always listen to music via YouTube when I do my homework or use computer. I won't feel lonely if I still listen to music. Also, music will help me a lot when I'm so stressed. Next, photograph -- Yes, I like to take a photo so much, but I don't have good skills to use a high quality camera like as DSLR. however, I don't care about it. I can take a photo via my iPhone or Polaroid because it doesn't use much skill LOL. I think photos will always keep a memory at that time. It can be sad or happy, but photos can show that this situation used to happen. For literature, I'm not sure that means novels or not. If yes, I can read novels all day long sometimes all night. I love to read novels, fantasy, romance or thriller. In the novels, I think everything can be happened like a magic. These are my favorite.

    Actually, all type of arts is beautiful because they made from creativity of human being. However, music is the best in my notion as music is the best helper. All human being is a people with feeling but music is just a lyrics with nice tones. However, both things can make me cried, laugh, attractive and many emotions. I really cannot stay if there is no music. Firstly, sometimes, I listen to song because I felt bored, and it always make me feel better. On the other hand, music or nice tones also can build a drop of tear from my eye because of the nice lyrics. In addition, music make me love this world since I can see more weigh of the world and I can feel that world is beautiful thing and world never hurt anyone. Lastly, music brings feeling of creativity of lyrics writer for me, and I am learning to be the music writer. In my life, I listen to music every night, and I often see people post music or song on social network. So I feel that music might bring happiness for many people on this world that include me. This is the reason why I want to make music. Moreover, music does not create the happiness only for one nationality, but it creates the happiness for all listeners in different languages and country. I want others to feel happy when they listen to the music like when I listen to music every night. Finally, I really can say that music is my life because some music can represent my feeling at that time. To conclude, music is their i every part of my life even when I go to soft bed.

    For me, favourite type of art is music and there are two main reasons for it.
    Firstly, compared with other types of art, I believe that music is the most convenient type of art to enjoy, since I can listen to music almost anytime, if I want, no matter where I am. Therefore, I usually listen to music for most of a day, except in classes. I think that makes me to be familiar with music and makes music to be my favourite type of art.
    Next, music has many different genre, which I can choose according to mood and daily preference. For example, I can choose cheerful songs when I am sad and depressed, and I can choose specific songs when I want to remind special moments. Furthermore, in case of pop-music, their lyrics are normally based on everyday life, which is so common and easy to empathize.
    For these reasons, lastly, I strongly believe that music will stay as the most favourite type of art for me forever.

    There are many kinds of art, and music is something that I like the most. The first reason is that people can feel the emotion of the music easily by just listen to the music itself, and especially when the emotion of the music is the same as the emotion that the person who is listening to the music at the moment. For example, there are a lot of love songs, which most of the people listen to those music when they fall in love, or when they are thinking about love. The second reason, music makes me feel free and relax. Every time when I feel bad, or having too much pressure on my head, I like to listen to music, no matter what kind of the music it is, it always makes me feel better. So, music is the greatest art in the world, because it is very emotional that people can easily understand the idea of the song,and the most important reason is that it calms me down when I am having a bad mood.

    As a non-artistic person, I would have to say that I appreciate drawing out of all the arts. Why? Because it is the best tool that allows me to express my complex thoughts through paper. I usually find myself looking for a paper to draw when a person ask me for my address. Another reason to why I prefer drawing is because it develops my creativity skill. Like I said, I am not an artistic person; I considered myself to be narrow-minded. The art of drawing will definitely supports me to view things in a bigger picture and be more open. Last but not least, drawing allows me to strengthens my focus and attention abilities; I am calm and peaceful whenever I draw. In my point of view, there are literally endless amount of positive things that drawing can offer.

    All type of art is beautiful, but music is something I never get bored of. Neither a good day nor a bad day, listening to music would make my day better or even better than it already is. Not only the voice and the instruments that makes a song perfectly combined, but its' meaning makes music a very powerful tool. Music may safe lives and make change in a person's life or sometimes a change in community.

    First of all I think all types of art are beautiful, but music is the best choice of art for me. I am a drummer. I do like music a lot, I am a "ROCKER"!!! I can stay at home and listen music all day. I prefer listen Thai music to international music. Why I like music... music has many genres and much styles. When I am sad I like to listen music alone with a slow song. Imagine the picture follow me... what if that day is a terrible day, you break up with your boyfriend or girlfriend at somewhere such as Siam Paragon. You are so sad and you have to go home by bus. When you are waiting for the bus, you stand like a lifeless guy. Bus has come, You get on the bus. There are many available seats, you choose to sit at the back. Oh... it is raining, ROMANTIC huh lol. You pick the earphone from the bag and connect to the phone. You open slow track, you totally into the song. Your tear is out. Your body is uncontrollable. You cannot stop crying. When you conscious, almost reach home, stop the track. The feeling is changed. The music is miracle. It can change feeling by the beat of its. Hint: Try to open fast track to stimulate your body when you sad.

    I have a big appreciation for variety types of music depending on the certain mood. Music is what really motivates me to begin a new day or even heightens up my melancholy. Most of the times, I enjoy listening to fast songs such as hip hop, pop, R&B, electronic, and little bit of country songs because it makes me happy and hyper. On top of that, how the melody, beat, and the lyrics can relate to human’s emotions very well creates impression.
    Music plays a massive role in my life because personally it releases stress. Imagine how the beat and melody can really make people want to sing and dance. Those motions and shouting distract me from being pessimistic and even thinking too much which can often lead to negative results. As I have mentioned above, hip hop and pop music are the best-loved by me. Although I am a shy person, I love rapping, singing, and dancing along the music. It helps me with exercise which can also liberate human’s endorphins and maintain healthy body. Have you ever felt like no one could understand you or you are not able to share your secret with someone? It happens to me frequently. Whenever I need an urgent encouragement, I turn on the songs that are related to my emotions at that moment. Besides that, music connects people around the world. Recently, a song called “Gangnam Style” is a huge hit in numerous places and it gains popularity from different nations of people. This displays that no matter what the specific language of the song is, people have a common interest in the music and this brings individuals closer.
    To sum up, music is my preferable choice of art. It doesn’t require any special talents or imagination to enjoy its rhythm or beats. People just need to take pleasure and find which genres of music attract them and communicate with their emotions well. Even though the languages of the particular song may be a boundary, it is not a big factor because what is absolutely necessary is if the music gives you the same feeling for instance, a sense of humor.

    I appreciate all forms of art but my favorite type is music. Music has evolved throughout history; therefore many different genres of music have been formed in the past thousands of years. Many people can often relate to music because artists like to put their life stories and emotions into their lyrics. Since so many genres of music exist, people can chose to listen to a specific type depending on their mood. Music is also a good source of knowledge and inspiration because artists try to convey positive messages and motivate their listeners. It can be listened to on many different occasions, and can be enjoyed in groups or individually. This makes it easier for people to connect and bond. I personally enjoy listening to Hip-hop music the most because I like the way the rhythm and beats sound. Hip-hop has also had a long and interesting history that has shaped part of our society today. All other forms of art are admirable but music is my most preferred choice of art.

    There is quite a lot diversity in Art, Displayed through different cultures and beliefs. What fascinates me the most are the different sculptures/paintings on different cultures and religions. It creates a unique picture for that type of art.. Even archaeologists and art historians can actually identify the culture in which the people live in, it brings out a meaning for that particular type of culture. It is also quite amazing how all of them were created decades ago.. How can they make such incredible art on cultures and religion without the use of technology. It plays an important role in the study of ancient past today. Without it we wouldn't have any clue of how things were like in the past. In conclusion, history would not have existed if art of different cultures were not created by the people living in the past.

    There are several kinds of arts, such as music, painting, and sculpture. Personally, music is the most favorite type. Undoubtedly, most people will choose the same thing as me. It's simply because music can be found very easily. It has no need to go to the museum or studio gallery. All it takes is to turn on the radio. Furthermore, music can provide us with a relaxation and also enjoyment. For instance, after I finished my homework, I always listen to music. It can help me recover my brain. Generally, every kind of art plays a vital role in the world. However, one can decide what type of art they prefer.

    There are numerous of arts which are my favourite such as music, photograph but literature is the most thing that I always enjoy. I can reread some of them of them more than 5 times(if it makes me impress). I always feel enthusiastic when I find a new book with an interesting plot which I'm not used to read. I wish I could learn many languages then I would be able to read it. To create a literature is not really hard but creating a wonderful literature that people can get a fantastic experience while they read it;is very tough. Sometime the author need to find information to make their production even better and more realistic.

      My favorite type of Art is Music. Music is something that can be with you anywhere and anytime. Life without music would be very boring. I listen to music every single day. I listen to it when I am taking a shower, eating, sitting, etc. Music can make you have many emotions. You can be happy, cheerful, fun, sad, lonely, bored, etc. I am a musician who love to play music and because of that, I do think that music is a wonderful art.

    There are many kinds of arts, but my favorite type of arts are film and music. I love listening to music, it makes me feel relax and happy. I can also sit and watch movies all days, it is excited and interesting, unlike sculpture or painting, they are fun to do but not to look at it for hours and hours. After a while painting and sculpture are boring to look at. However, everyone have many different kind of opinion, some people might rather go to the galley instead of listening to music.

    Out of the all the different types of arts thats out there, I would have to say music is my favorite. When listening to music it relaxes me and makes me happy. In every song out there is a meaning of life inside that can be related to in many different ways. An example of this is a song by Tim Mcgraw called "live like you were dying" . In the song he talks about how he lost his dad and later on talking about how he did all these exciting things because he wanted to state that you never know when you are going to past away. Overall I believe a lot of people that music is a good art, but there is no hate to the other arts out there.

  17. 5580472 (sec 11) My favorite type of art is photography because when I look at the photos, it can tell story and feeling at that time, and remind me to think the good old days. For me, photography is fascinating. I like to learn photo tips form the internet to improve my photography skills. Although photography has to use a lot of money for equipment, it always makes me happy. Moreover, ceramics is the type of artwork that I like to buy because it has several colors, and designs are fashionable. Thus, I often buy ceramics to be a gift for my friends.

    My favorite type of art would be performing arts. I like all kinds of performing arts including theatre, musical theatre, dance, circus arts, and so on. In performing arts, performers must be concerned with acting out stories to the audience which is really HARD. And they have to adapt their appearance too! They make us believe that the show we're watching is happening for real. I believe that not everyone can be an actor/actress if they're not talented enough. Watching performing arts makes me feel like it's worth paying the money because it's something BIG and I get to watch many talented people who put their hard work on the show, and those people include all the staff who are the part of the show as well. it's just brilliant!

    My favorite type of art is music: it is truly god gift to mankind! When I am tired from a whole day of working or playing I always depend on listening to music at the end of the day to brighten my mood. Music is something that is with you all the time: such as when you are bored you could take out your ipod or hum the tone to yourself. It is a little something that is in your everyday life that brightens your day. Music is a source of entertainment that you could listen and dance to it for hours without getting bored: it gives you endless energy. The fun we find in music is endless! However, even when you are sad music is also there to comforts you: sometimes when you are sad you don’t wants to talk, by listening to music it helps you relive the stress or sadness that you feel. It is something that heals your soul, give you a sense of loyalty (national anthem), or just plain fun etc. Music is a lot of thing that are wrapped in one package made of different types of sound.

    Arts make the world beautiful, cheerful and more interesting. It is undenialble that arts concern with everything in the world even though the glass that you use. Moreover, arts have various benefits to people. For instance, when people get a tension, listening music can help them to be relax. Some people are inspired by arts, so they have several new creativity. Although I am not good for doing fine art, arts inspire me in many ways. In particular, my favorite type of arts are fine arts like painting and sculpture, music, and theatre. I usually do painting when I am happy. I love to paint the natural picture. This is because it makes me feel good and peaceful. In addition, I like to listen music when I get stress and tired. It helps me to be relax and happy. I also play flute since I studied at high school. I choose to play flute as I love its sound. However, I like to visit museums and gallery very much. It is very fantastic in my opinion because both of this places collect the things that can inspire people and motivate them to have new notions. For example, when I was an exchange student in England, I usually went to the museums to gain more knowledge about the history of western art. There are a lot of museums in England. I am very impressive and happy every time. Watching the musical performances is a remarkable memory for me. I used to watch "The Cinderella Musical" in England and I think that they must practice really hard for perfect performance. More simply, the musical show is another type of arts that makes me feel very happy. All in all, arts are always interesting things for me.... forever.

    In today's world, there are several kinds of arts, but the type of it that can make me enjoyable is "music". We can say that music is a one significant part in every human life. The reason why music is the most adorable type of arts in my heart is it can bring me up in every situation. For instance, when I am in a trouble or feel quite lonely, it can definitely be a really good friends. Musics (tones and melodies) are very fantastic objective which indicates a large amount of miraculous perceptions. Additionally, instrument is another amazing part from music. The most lovely instrument in my mind is "guitar". It is a thing which I can stay for a large period while I am not bored because it makes me very chilling and happy.

    The one music's quote from Jack Kerouac that I really like is "The only truth is music."
