MUSIC Chance Music - also called aleatory A combination of external sound that cannot be duplicated as each happens by chance Improvised materials. It tends to make more use of dissonance and more uncommon scales such as the whole tone scale. Impressionism - It was meant to create an emotional mood rather than a specific picture. Artist and musician were drawn to convey moods with their music, instead of actual depicting reality. It is the mark of the beginning of the Contemporary Period. MUSIC Expressionism - It is a French movement in the late 19th and early 20th century characterized by sublime moods and impressions. It was meant to create an emotional mood rather than a specific picture. Artist and musician were drawn to convey moods with their music, instead of actual depicting reality. Impressionistic forms were translucent and hazy. Electronic Music - is any music involving electronic processing - composers used electronic machines to produce new sounds in music - the compositions of Edgard Varese are characterized by an emphasis on timbre and rhythms MUSIC Claude Debussy - He was known as the "Father of the Modern School of Composition" and made his impact on the styles of the later 20th-century composer like Igor Stravinsky. He was the primary exponent of the impressionist movement and the focal point for others. He is credited with the twelve-tone system. String Quartet La Mer (1905) Première Arabesque Claire de Lune (Moonlight) MUSIC Edgard Varese - He pioneered and created new sounds that bordered between music and noise and spent his life and career mostly in the United States. Varèse's is considered as the "Father of Electronic Music," and use of new instruments and electronic resources. He was also dubbed as the "Stratospheric Colossus of Sound." MUSIC ARNOLD SCHOENBERG was born on September 13, 1874 in a working-class suburb of Vienna, Austria. He taught himself music theory but took lessons in counterpoint. He is the Father of Modern Music. His works include the following: Verklarte Nacht Three Pieces for Piano, op. 11 Pierrot Lunaire Violin Concerto Skandalkonzert, a concert of the Wiener Konzertverein. MUSIC Joseph Maurice Ravel was born in Ciboure, France, to a Basque mother and a Swiss father. At age 14, he entered the Paris Conservatory, where he was musically nurtured by a prominent French composer, Gabriel Faure.

Subjects were everyday scenes. Artists of this movement found that they could best capture scenes with natural light. Expressionism - Artworks with more emotional forces rather than realistic or natural images. FAUVISM - It is a style that used bold, vibrant colors and visual distortions ARTS Surrealism - A style depicted an illogical, subconscious dream world that seemed to exist beyond the logical, conscious, physical one. Abstractionism - A style apart from the reality. Abstractionism is logical and rational. It involves analyzing, detaching, selecting and simplifying. Cubism - Characterized by overlapping planes. Subjects were reduced into geometric forms and broken in to series of planes tilting and interlocking in different ways ARTS - Unity refers to the appearance or condition of the oneness of an artwork. All the elements such as line, color, texture, and others belong together, which results in having a coherent and harmonious whole. - Balance is the condition in which acting influences are held in check by opposing forces or what is on the left side should appear on the right side also in order to achieve equilibrium. - To draw our attention to an area or areas, the artist uses emphasis. To create emphasis, position, contrast, color intensity, and size can all be used. Neutral areas of lesser interest are created by artists through subordination to keep us from being distracted from the areas of emphasis. ARTS - The comparison of strongly dissimilar elements is called contrast. Dark set against light, large against small, bright colors against dull are examples of contrasts. - The repetition of visual elements gives a composition of unity, continuity, flow, and emphasis. Rhythm in visual art is created through the regular recurrence of elements with related variations. - The scale is the relation of one thing to another. It is one of the first decisions an artist makes when planning a work of art. Proportion is the size relationship of parts to a whole. - The line is our basic means for recording and symbolizing ideas, observations, and feelings; it is a primary means of visual communication. ARTS - Space is the indefinable, general receptacle of all things. It is continuous, infinite, and ever-present. The visual arts are sometimes referred to as spatial arts because most of the art forms are organized in space. - Value refers to the lightness and darkness of surfaces. It ranges from white to various grays to black. It can be a property of color or an independent element color. - Color is a component of light, affects us directly by modifying our thoughts, moods, actions, and even our health. Color exists only in light, but light itself seems colorless to the human eye. - The textile qualities of surfaces or to the visual representation of those qualities is referred to as texture, in visual arts P.E. - Body composition -The proportion of fat and non-fat mass in your body. - Physical fitness is the capacity of the body to do activities without undue exhaustion. - Speed is the maximum rate at which a person can move or cover a distance in a certain amount of time - Agility is the capacity to shift or change the orientation of the body rapidly from one point to another. - Balance is the ability to keep your body in place, whether you're standing still (static balance) or moving (dynamic balance). - Coordination is the ability to move in a way that is smooth, accurate, and under control. P.E. - Power is the ability to perform one maximum effort in the shortest possible time. - The term "reaction time" refers to the rate at which an athlete reacts to an external stimuli. HEALTH HEALTH HEALTH HEALTH HEALTH HEALTH HEALTH
