In 5 topics that I have read, maybe I'm interested in "The Arts in a Cultural Context" on page 166 - 169. First of all, maybe because it is easier to read and understand what is the writter talking about and the topic is similar to our life, we can easily see art in normal life. Sencond, the reading doesn't have many new vocabulary for me to look up on dictionary haha. Lastly, I found it's true that there are different types of art in different cultures. For example, many countries in Western are interested in painting while Asian countries usally get inspired by scuplture.
I'm very interested in the symbolic communication because it is worldwide value, every countries have it. an example of this is dancing or singing, maybe we can not understand clearly the stories or know the right way to enjoy, we still can enjoy the movement and melody. In addition, to me, art is one of the ways that I can use to start a conversation with someone in another country. By asking about their music or their traditional art.
I love how you use art to start a conversation. Maybe we can talk about our home country's music sometime.
ReplyDeleteI have favorite songs that I don't understand the lyrics but like it because of its rhythm and melody. I have a sympathetic in this part haha
