Nostalgia

1. Nostalgia means something like longing for the past.
2. The images that come to mind are people dancing on a black and white tile floor. Also school house rock comes to mind for some reason. For the second song one of my birthdays from a couple of years ago come to mind and also my dad's birthday does.
3. Trees, my grandpa, being in the back of my grandpa's car, Community Montessori School, swim team, my neighbor's dog Winnie, and of course... The Mighty Morphing Power Rangers!

Poverty Painting

1. Unemployment, the way people are raised, in a way poverty is like a cycle that's very hard to break.
2. The artist portrays poverty in the light by making it a dark, gloomy, gray day.
3. The message is that poverty is a sad, glum life and that some people are just victims of the situation.
4. Color does because it makes the painting seem gloomy and sad. But there is also hope in the lightness of the baby's face

Wilco's song

1. They get an idea, they start with a stripped down version of the song, then go into the studio to add to it and make a beat and lyrics, then they mesh everything together and presto.

2. My process for writing is to write down my main ideas and other things on a piece of paper, then go to the computer to type for a little bit to get my brain going then i write the paper, print it out, read it, then give it to my mom so she can tell me where I messed up and then I type it again.

"Semeadores" By Diego Rivera

S- The subject are the workers
O- The artist siding with the workers
A- The working class
P- He is on the side of the working class
S- The speaker is Diego Rivera
T- The tone is positive because the colors are kind of bright and the shapes are organic

2. The big idea of the painting is the workers do not get recognized, to symbolize this the workers in the painting blend in with the background and they're faceless. The colors make them blend in with the background.

Inspiration Information

1. The feel of the song is upbeat, happy, groovy, and relaxed. It gives off the vibe that it was made in the 70's.
2. The upbeat rhythm/tempo and sound of the beat. Also the sound and loudness of the singer's voice give off the vibe.
3. The choices the musician had to make to get this feel is what instruments would play, what type of rhythm they would use and how he would sing. Those had to be the choices because if he had changed any of those decisions the song would have sounded completely different.

Poverty Painting

Trying it again.

Ariel Pink's Haunted Grafitti

The musical facts that I recorded affected my opinion by making me think that the song was sort of odd. The correlation between what i picked and my opinion is because the synthesized instruments make the song sound weird and they are so loud that you cannot hear the singer. I have a bias because I do not really like that kind of music that the song was.
