Giacomo Puccini, Madama Butterfly.

This kind of opera is different from what was displayed played in the animated version of “Madama Butterfly”. It wasn’t as appealing to me, it was still enjoyable just not as much as I enjoyed the animated video. I feel like Opera is for older, more seasoned folks and I’m nowhere near that. If this was played or acted out in a theatre today, I think a lot of people would freak over it in a great way. They are awesome singers.

The acting was a little tricky and different but that is expected because people have gotten a lot better at acting over time. There is an expected audience for everything, but I doubt I’m a part of that audience for now, unfortunately. Maybe when I am older it will be more appealing to me. I do find it incredibly amazing that people can sing like that and extend their voices to such great heights. I’m a singer myself so I know how unbelievably tough it is to even be able to get to half of that range.

Final Video!

This video encapsulates some of the most important people in my life, obviously, a lot of people who I hold dear to my heart aren't included unfortunately because I don't have good pictures with them. This was a grueling yet heartwarming process for me because it brought joy to my heart and reminded how incredibly important it is to have people, even a few who really love you. I enjoyed this class, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be creative and to be me! https://youtu.be/dRWliQRjJvg

Can you create art with technology?

Yes, art can be created with technology. I think technology is changing the way art is made as the years go by and has been doing so for quite a bit of time now. Over the past few decades, art and technology have definitely become more intertwined, hence this class, art, and tech. Technology has allowed artists to involve more human interaction in their work, mix different type of media and come up with more complex pieces. An example of this in modern technology or artwork would be videos. The use of technology, like phones and cameras, have allowed us to create art in the form of videos and short films and movies. The camera has evolved so much that now videos, even ones that are just casually made can be judged as artwork, some artists specifically focus on the filming and creating of videos as their expertise. Alotofthese types of artists would be online, like Instagram. So yes, art can certainly be created with technology.

21st century technology

I think a technological advance in the 21 st century has to be the camera. We have always had cameras back in the day but as the decades and years go by many advances are made. We’ve gone from the pinhole Camera in the 1500s to t he Daguerreotype Camera in 1839 to the Reise Camera in 1900 to the Leica I in 1925to the Polaroid Model 95 in 1947 to the Kodak Digital Camera in 1975 to the Fuji Quick Snap-in 1986 to the Sharp J-SH04 in 2000 to the Apple iPhone in 2007 to the GoPro HD Hero 2008. We have evolved so much throughout the years and in the next few years, I see a major difference in the functions provided by a future camera. The pinhole was one of the first known cameras invented and people could only see the picture upside down, it took a lot of heads and years to create what we have today and I in this time and age wouldn’t be able to tell you what the future holds in the case of cameras. I know for a fact the quality ...
