Study Notes

Elements of Art and Brain Function

Essential signals are integrated into elements of art to create a cohesive image.
The prefrontal cortex processes information from the senses, combining it with memories and emotions.
Art elements influence human psychology and perception.

Vocal Anatomy

Vocal cords/folds are membranes controlling dynamics and pitch during vocalization.
"False" vocal folds protect the trachea but do not significantly contribute to speech or singing.

Presentation Assessment Rubrics

Presentation: Enthusiasm and clear voice are critical for motivating the audience, with varying point allocations for levels of engagement.
Content: Understanding and coverage of crucial facts affect grading, from firm grasp to missing essential points.
Organization: Clear and planned sequences enhance audience understanding, whereas disorganization leads to confusion.
Video Quality: Use of appropriate equipment and settings significantly influences the visual and audio clarity of content.
Creativity & Design: Effective design and smooth transitions contribute positively, while poor use of graphic elements can detract from the presentation.
Timeliness: Meeting deadlines is essential, with major impacts on grading for late submissions.

First Aid for Performing Arts – Dance and Theater

Sprains: Rest, ice, compress, and elevate the injured area to limit swelling.
Muscle Strains: Apply ice to reduce swelling, rest the muscle, and avoid usage until pain subsides.

Paintbrush Cleaning Techniques

Dip brushes in lacquer thinner outdoors due to its flammability; rinse afterward in soapy water.
Different cleaning solvents are required for shellac paints, with denatured alcohol and ammonia recommended.
For petrified brushes, using a solvent-based cleaner overnight can soften hardened paint, requiring gentle cleaning methods to preserve bristle integrity.
