Evolution’s meaning- my definition I think evolution means that something is changing throughout time, but it is changing naturally. I also think that some things we may need and some we may not need like bombs or T.V.
Wherever people are found, there is music, but how did music evolve? Darwin raised the question, but found no answer. The difficulty was in determining what advantage is offered to the music-maker by the making of music. Speech and music both involve sound. Which came first – music or language – remains unclear. Scientists can study changes in the vocal tract as early humans developed, but the sounds they made leave no trace. Studies of modern brains show that some regions are involved in both understanding language and interpreting music. Yet there are people who are both tone deaf and non-stop talkers. Some Darwinian theorists, such as the Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker, have suggested that music is an accident, not an adaptation. It satisfies our ears in the same way that a slice of cake appeals to our taste buds. Steven Mithen of the University of Reading, England, has recently advanced a different view. Drawing on archaeology, fossil evidence, and studies of brains, genes, language and music in many cultures, he suggests that music and language both emerged from a common precursor – a quasi-musical use of sound – which our ancestors used for communicating. These complex calls could have found uses as infant lullabies or as part of group celebration. He also suggests that the groups that developed this use of sound had more offspring and more descendants, which is why music survives today.
Evolution of Drama Can Oskay
What is drama? • Drama is possibly the most common way that stories can be told. In nearly every culture, there is some kind of dramatic expression. Since it began thousands of years ago, drama means many different things.
How did theatre first start? • It actually started with dance in the first societies. People believed that the dancers had powers to stop the supernatural powers that they thought controlled peoples lives. • The dances were done to get rid of disease and to perform if someone died • The dancers wore masks that they thought looked like the spirits and wore costumes of tree bark and animal skins
More history • The history of real Drama goes back to some of mankind’s earliest civilizations. Drama started back in ancient Greece in theatres that were built into the hills. Many plays were written during the period, from 525 BC to 385 BC, and are still performing today. • There were different kinds of drama at different times in history. • For example between 350 BC and 250BC there was lots of comedies performed • In the dark ages there was almost no theatre because the Christians didn’t like it • There was another time after that called the renaissance and this was when Shakespeare wrote plays and there was a big increase in the theatre
Amazing facts about drama… • Roman actors were actually slaves who were owned by managers • In 1576 the first real theatre was built in London and was called the Globe theatre. • Women were not in any plays in Spain or England until the 17th century • When more people moved into the city in the 19th century and theatre started to change so it was more fun for working people
And today • If we go to the theatre now we can see all kinds of plays from Shakespeare and old fashioned plays to modern ones with lots of special effects and lighting • Theatre is still very Popular today
The history of Writing • Talk’s not good enough… • Sharing ideas • The creative mind at work • Mobile mayhem • Blogs • Skype • Looking forward • Why it changed
Talk’s not good enough Along time back our only form of communication was through talking. As villages turned into towns and towns turned into kingdoms there was one major need. Some sort of communication that didn’t involve talking had to be created. Thus began the written language. Some used pictures instead of letters but this soon ended when people realized how much easier it was to write the letter a than some crazy drawing.
Sharing ideas writing was once only used for sharing information and life changing ideas. Can you imagine a world without books?! What would you do in your spare time?
Mobile Mayhem Welcome to a world of amazing technology! Now not only can you write books but now you can also send a message to your friend with the touch of a button. You can also call on the telephone and have an instant reply in less than a second. On your computer then check your email! (electronic mail)
Blogging Blogging is an excellent way to get your ideas on the internet! Simply copy it from your word and post an idea out to the world.
Skype Skype… now one of the most popular forms of technology. Skype is an online website that you can get for free. You can video call people on it. There are many of these sorts of websites.
Looking forward Your 10 years into the future. The world of books is beyond us. Instead of pages we have I pads to read on. The reality is that within a few years we will not have any classical books.
Why it changed Writing has changed many times over the century. This is because the mood of the people changed and when their moods change, their moods in there story’s change to. For example when it was the dark ages very few books were published and fewer still were positive. The answer is simple, evolution is a natural change but it also depends on the mood of the people.
The Evolution Of Art Evolution of art
Why is there art? Back in the stone age in 30,000 B.C. when they didn’t really have a way to communicate they started to carve their experiences on a cave wall they have gotten from their lives so they could remember and also communicate with other cavemen and this was called art.Ofcourse they didn’t know what art was but they were carving these really simple pictures on to a cave.In the past centuries when the life got more and more developed and complex they started expressing themselves with art to the world.This idea has came down to our days and is still going on.
The Evolution of Art The reason for this is because is that in each generation the life is different and the artists that make these arts usually try to express their feelings so they can actually tell something they have experience in their lives or had imagined of.Art is also needs some imagination because in the stone age they kept the arts really simple when today they build huge sculptures.The reason for this is the technology and evolution of other things that influences the artists thoughts and so they make these huge arts that is hard to understand for people because of its complex structure.Evolution of other things in life actually influences art a lot .
What’s going to happen in the next years? I personally don’t know but I’m guessing that art is going to change a lot.The arts of the future might be a picture in a hologram or something technological like that.Art might die and instead the artists might express their feelings in a mini invention because when centuries pass nobody probably will be adapted to art as today because of the growing technology.The more the technology grows the more people will be adapted to it.
What is art like today do they mostly do today? The usual kind of art that artists do today is mixing styles of art from past years and also modern art to express themselves in a way that is hard to understand sometimes.Artists today do stuff that is way of from known stuff.The artists are thinking outside the box to create something that was never done before.That’s most artists target.The people who see these artworks are really confused but intrested by how the artist is expressing themselves.
