CREATIVE THINKING AND ARTISTIC PROCESS Spring, 2009

Assign: Music Evokes

Due 2/26

Music isn't just something nice to listen to. On the contrary its deeply embedded in human culture ... Music somehow seems to be natural, to exist as something apart - and yet it is suffused with human values, with our sense of what is good or bad, right or wrong. Music doesn't just happen, it is what we make it, and what we make of it. People think through music, decide whom they are through it, express themselves thought it.

You are to select a clip from a movie that you feel uses music to powerfully enhance or alter the scene. Bring your DVD and know which chapter to cue it up for presentation. We will divide up into 4 groups for presentations and discussion. Time permitting; each group will select one example to show to the entire class.
