Musical Construction

Hard

(Originais Teachy 2024) - Question Hard of Arts

While studying the interconnection between art and mathematics, a group of 8th-grade students decided to create a musical instrument that could illustrate geometry concepts and numerical sequences. Inspired by the sound generated by a string instrument, the students built a 'Geometric Monochord', a structure with a single string stretched by a system of pulleys and adjustable weights. By varying the tension and the mass of the weights placed on the string, they noticed sound variations that were linked to mathematical proportions. However, the group wants to deepen the experience and relate the frequencies produced by the lengths of the string to mathematical sequences and series concepts, specifically the Fibonacci Sequence. Considering a monochord with a length of 1 meter, whose fundamental frequency is 220Hz when the string is free of additional weights, and knowing that the vibration frequency is inversely proportional to the length of the vibrating part of the string, what would be the resulting frequency of the string when a weight of 50g is placed exactly 1/3 of the length of the string from one of the fixed ends?
a.
330Hz

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.

The intersection between art and technology has revolutionized artistic practices, allowing the creation of works that go far beyond paper, screen, or traditional physical space. Contemporary artists often use programming languages, sensors, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality to explore new forms of expression, engagement, and social criticism. A notable example is the installation 'Rain Room', developed by the Random International collective, which uses motion sensors to create an immersive experience where the rain 'stops' around visitors, evoking reflections on interactivity and control. In an interdisciplinary class, 9th-grade students were challenged to create an artistic installation that employed concepts of physics and technology to communicate a message about contemporary society. Considering the objectives of the activity and the resources available at the school, what is the best methodological approach for carrying out the project, taking into account the integration between art, technology, and the physical principles that govern the behavior of materials and the environment?

João and Maria are learning about rhythm and melody in their Art class. They have discovered that the games of 'Tug of War' and 'Hot Potato' can help understand these musical concepts. By pulling the rope in 'Tug of War', the children realize that the force exerted and the rhythm of the pulls can be compared to a music, where intensity and tempo are essential. In the game of 'Hot Potato', where a hot potato is passed from hand to hand until the music stops, they notice that the speed at which the potato is passed resembles the concept of melody, which is the succession of sounds organized at different pitches. Considering these games, explain how João and Maria can apply the principles of rhythm and melody during a round of 'Hot Potato' to create a 'music' with the game's rules. Think about how the variation in speed and the organization of passing the potato can represent musical elements and describe a 'music measure' based on this adaptation of the traditional game.

We all like different things, and often this also happens when we talk about drawings, paintings, or sculptures. Visual arts can make us think about various things, such as joy, sadness, love, or even about the place where we live. Have you ever drawn or painted something that made you remember something special or made you feel very happy? Tell me what you created and why it is important or special to you. I also want to know what you think other people might feel or think when they see what you created.
