What I think about the rural blues singers, and the classic blues singers

In these times they had men blues singers, and women blues singers. The male blues singers were called The Rural Blues Singers, and the women were called The Classic Blues singers. Women didn’t travel alone, or hang out in blues bars, or juke joints for that matter. Rural blues singers did. Men were able to travel from different locations, like farm and lumber camps. They could also play in juke joints’ this definitely gave the outstanding blues singers a lot more opportunity to perform in public. It was much harder and more dangerous for women to travel like the men in these days did. If women did travel, they did in large groups. The classic blues singers had managers, they were supervised. Men lived a rural blues lifestyle, it was dangerous, it was solitary traveling. Most of the places the men traveled to were male dominated. The men’s group would travel with a singer, a guitarist, and harmonica players. These are the roles were most often filled by men. Rural Blues men were self-taught or taught by a fellow blues singer. Classic blues were known from Vaudeville and from the theater Circuits. Women sang the classic blues. People say classic blues had lyrics full of independence, desire, humor, hard truths, and emotional power. Women brought style, a story telling style that people loved. Women delivered the classic blues they say, ‘With a theatrical flair that fit the stage’. Rural blues men played a wide variety of music. They played folk songs, blues and dance music at social gatherings, picnics, and street corners.

Country Music

Question: Why does country music seem to lend itself to describing life’s most elemental feelings and experiences? Is it the instrumentation? Regional Accent? Rhythm? Delivery Style? Something else?

Answer: I believe Country Music seems to lend itself to describing life’s most elemental feelings and experiences because what I hear country music to be most of the time. Usually, when I turn on the radio or hearing a commercial ad with a country song, it seems to be telling a story. It doesn’t matter what kind of story is being told it’s usually a good one. A lot of the songs that I have heard was always been love songs or sad songs about something dramatically negative. The lyrics and the melody of these songs typically went hand and hand with one another, always holding a steady, smooth beat. These melodies often gave the feeling of the moment, which usually supposed to happen. With these moments, you can hear and visualize what and how the artist is feeling through the song as a time goes by. You see, Country music seemed to always tell a story, whether it is heartbreak, love or anything else. Personally, Country music is kind of like a mini movie or documentary of a person’s life story, replaying everything that may have happened or foreshadowing for what can come in the future. I actually seem to like country music and usually when I hear it playing on the radio, I continue to play it, enjoying the melodies.

From my perspective, studying pre-Columbian art from a global and cultural perspective is necessary to sufficiently understand pre-Columbian cultures in the Americas, and to help undo some of the immense harm caused by Columbian colonialism. The destruction of Mesoamerican and South American architectural monuments, religious sculptures, and texts by European settlers effectively erased much of the history and culture belonging to those civilizations. Additionally, the forced conversion of Catholicism in the region by European settlers discouraged Indigenous populations from practicing and keeping concise records of their native religious traditions alive, so we are left with very little about these religions. Analyzing artwork from these Indigenous cultures entirely separately from Columbian colonialism is the most accurate way we can learn about them, and it allows us to preserve Indigenous tradition. If we were to analyze these artworks in any other manner, we would be getting the Columbian perspective on these civilizations, which is one that does not accurately reflect the lifestyle, values, traditions, and overall culture of these Indigenous groups.

The viewpoint of global and cultural perspective has to be applied to Pre-Columbian art, as this will enable us to recognize the Americas as a part of world history rather than simply places that went through European contact. Among others, the Maya, Aztecs, Incas, and Olmecs were pre-Columbian cultures, which made the most intricate artworks that revealed profound understanding, social structure, and religious convictions long before colonization, in fact, even thousands of years earlier.

The perspective may allow one to place pre-Columbian artworks among human achievements. The architectural forms, sculptural styles, and symbolic imagery, which are comparable to those in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, or China, and which are being emphasized by recent scholarship as essential in reevaluating the geographic dimensions of art history (McEwan et al., 2021), reflect the innovative levels in the ancient Americas. The global exhibition of such masterpieces is a challenge to the stories that are often told from a Eurocentric perspective. These stories have consistently put Eastern cultures in the background and termed their art as primitive. But now the whole world has reached an agreement that pre-Columbian art is of the very high intellectual and aesthetic standards, and thus, the art history of the world is made more equitable.

In terms of the cultural aspect, pre-Columbian arts were different and connected to life, religion, and political power through one of the primary channels. Ornaments were not merely for ornamentation; they were involved in the rituals, ceremonies, and various aspects of social life. The recent discussions in the art-historical community indicate the need to change, and even dismantle, existing disciplinary boundaries where colonial interpretations are often the first to be heard. No other voices are represented if one intends to get to these cultural meanings. When viewed through the prism of the cultures in which the art was created, we would easily notice that art served the purposes of interpersonal communication, of the need to establish oneself, and the need to prove that the cultures in question did not vanish, but instead, were continuing their course.

Ultimately, the global and cultural approach to the pre-Columbian art both recognizes the Native American history and proves that this tradition continues to shape modern society. The outcome is a less confrontational interpretation of the historical and current art, particularly in the Americas, as the residence of the manifold diversity of the global cultural discourse and a segment of the multiplicity of human creativity.

Did Scott Joplin improve ragtime music?

by Jose Leal

I think that Scott Joplin improved ragtime by turning it from an improvised style to written piano music because before it was transformed this type of music was seen as low quality or low class. Once it was turned into something more it was seen and treated with respect. Scott Joplin had done a different style with more cohesive sound rather than a repetitive sound. If he hadnt created sheet music this music of the ragtime era could have been lost. He was very particular about how to play ragtime music and explained why it wasnt right to play it in certain ways. It was argued that whether or not Scott Joplin damaged ragtime music or if he transformed it and turned into something more, because of him it was able to be preserved. Its now treated with respect rather than being turned down or looked down upon. He was able to make ragtime music and turn it into something classical. Scott doing what he did was able to keep this music documented and alive, because of this its able to be used many years later and can be played the same because of his sheet notes. If he hadn’t created this sheet notes it could have been lost to history and may have never been heard or played again. While its argued whether or not if he improved ragtime. I think that what he did changed it in a good way and if he hadn’t nobody would have known what ragtime was today. Overall he did change ragtime music for the better and not only improved it but saved it. The people may argue about the history but they cant aruge about the importance that Scott Joplin did to save it unknowingly.

• Do you think that Scott Joplin improved or damaged ragtime by turning it from an improvised style to a written piano music?

I wouldn’t necessarily say that Scott Joplin improved ragtime by writing his tunes down, but I would say that he improved American music as a whole by writing his tunes down. There have always been and will always be elitists and gatekeepers within musical traditions and genres that don’t want their traditions to change. However, it can be these breaks in tradition that push the medium forward.

Traditionally, ragtime was a style of playing that was almost entirely improvised. Musicians would learn ragtime playing from other musicians performing together on boats going up and down the Mississippi River. Players would improvised different strains of popular melodies and put their own flourishes and styling into it. It had a spontaneous quality that mystified listeners.

Once it was written down, it lost it’s improvised and unpredictable spark, but it gave everyone who bought the sheet music the ability to crack the code of what ragtime was. People at home could play basic ragtime tunes from the comfort of their homes. It allowed for many more performances of the ragtime music, even if it was a little more rigid, structured, amd watered down. This allowed for more people to hear and be influenced by the music and America got to produce one of it’s first truly American art forms. This pushed further into jazz, rock and roll, hip hop, and more.

What do you know about the ancient arts of the Americas?

Have you heard the term Pre-Columbian before this class? What does it refer to in the cultures of the world?

We are leaving Italy and Europe to explore the arts of the Americas. What has been called Pre-Columbian Art that is art created before the Western World of Europe knew that this world existed. These works of art are the product of the peoples living on the continentThe Inca, Aztec, Mayan and more. These cultures date back to millennia. Including the Olmec.

When Columbus arrived, there were already monumental architecture, sculpture, textile weaving, ceramics as well as metal works in production and in use. Most often, these works were in use in rituals, ceremonies and relating to cosmological and religious uses. These works reflect cultural traditions, world views and beliefs.

Cultural Groups

Mesoamerica: Cultures: Olmec, Maya, Aztec Artworks: Stone carvings. Pyramids. Goldwork. Hieroglyphs. Ceramics and Murals. Books.

Andean: Cultures: Moche, Nazca, Inca. Artworks: Naca lines (massive desert glyphs) Textiles. Ceramic vessels. Monumental architecture.

North America. Cultures: Hopewell, Mississippian. Art works: Earthwork mounds. Stone and bone tools, Textiles. Basketry.

• Achievements: Major advancements in astronomy, mathematics, engineering, art (pyramids, temples), and agriculture (maize, beans).
• Trade: Extensive trade networks existed, exchanging goods like obsidian, textiles, and cacao across vast distances.
• Significance: Marks the era before dramatic shifts caused by European disease, conquest, and cultural exchange.

• What does pre-Columbian mean?
• The original inhabitants of the Americas traveled across what is now known as the , a passage that connected the westernmost point of North America with the easternmost point of Asia. The Western hemisphere was disconnected from Asia at the end of the last Ice Age, around 10,000 B.C.E.
• In 1492, the Genoese explorer Christopher Columbus arrived at the islands of Cuba and Hispaniola (today Haiti and the Dominican Republic), mistakenly thinking he had reached Asia.
• Columbus miscalculation marked the first step in the colonization of the Americas, or what was then seen as a New World. Incorrectly referring to the native inhabitants of Hispaniola as Indians (under the assumption that he had landed in India), Columbus established the first Spanish colony of the Americas. Pre-Columbian thus refers to the period in the Americas before the arrival of Columbus.
• The term pre-Columbian is complicated however. For one thing, although it refers to the Indigenous peoples of the Americas, the phrase does not directly reference any of the many sophisticated cultures that flourished in the Americas (think of the Aztec, Inka, or Maya, to name only a few) and instead invokes a European explorer.
• For this reason and because Indigenous peoples flourished before and after the arrival of the Europeans, the term is often seen as flawed. Other terms such as pre-Hispanic, pre-Cortesian, or more simply, ancient Americas, are sometimes used.
