(Originais Teachy 2024) - Question Medium of Arts

Have you heard many different sounds, haven't you? Some sounds can be from musical instruments, like the drum, the guitar, or the flute, and others can be from things we use in our daily lives, like tapping on the table or on the floor. Thinking about that, tell the class: What is the sound you like the most to hear and why is it special to you? Also describe what kind of music or melody this sound can have, like cheerful, calm, or makes you want to dance.

During the Baroque period, art was not only a means of aesthetic expression, but also served as a powerful tool for education and religious propaganda in a context of intense faith and competition between Churches. The ability of Baroque artists to create works that provoked strong emotions, deepened spirituality, and exalted the power of the clergy and nobility, contributed to the consolidation of the Baroque movement not only in Europe but also in its colonies, as observed in Latin America. In his work, 'The Rape of Proserpina,' the sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini is notorious for capturing a fleeting moment in marble, creating a sense of movement and tension that defies the nature of the material and provides a visceral experience to the viewer. Considering the historical context and the characteristics of Baroque art, analyze how the representation of the human figure in Bernini's sculpture exemplifies Baroque ideals of spirituality and theatricality, and discuss how these principles were adapted and transmitted in the context of European colonization in America.

You know that the arts are very special and each person can feel something different when looking at a painting, listening to music, or watching a dance. For example, a painting of a rainbow can make us think of joy and hope. Now, think about your own painting or drawing. What do you want people to feel or think when they look at your art? Explain what your art could mean to different people.

When we clap or sing, we are producing sounds with our body. Now, think about the different types of sounds we can make using our hands and mouth. Additionally, some people can also play musical instruments or create music by drumming on boxes and drums with their hands. Therefore, based on what you have learned about sound sources and experimenting with making different sounds with your body, describe a game that you could invent using the sounds your body is capable of producing. What would this game be like? What rules and objectives would you include for children to have fun and learn about sounds and rhythm at the same time? Explain in detail.
