Sound Visualization Mashup: Phase 1
So the song that I choose to make these thumbnails on the image is “Want You” by Rynx feat. Miranda Glory and the genre of this music piece is based on pop/ electronic. Most of the thumbnails have these wobbling scripts and they represent the vocals and/or the bass of the music played and they’re also known as legato figures because it has this very slow and flow rhythm (for some of the wobbly thumbnails).
The top left is a bit unusual and it is also known as staccato because all angles and lines are connected together and it has this very pointy edged that in music represents a rhythm that all different pieces are connected. These thumbnails are only instruments that are played on the music and hearing each part of the instrument I reimagined how they would look like and redesign it using my perspective image. I understand that the artist is showing signs of excitement and show it’s unique style of music and it the reason it’s one of my favorite songs is for the the amazing vocals and melodies that the artist is using as well as the amazing rhythm and potential on the bass/ percussion part.

Urban Artifacts: Phase 4
Revision:
In my opinions I though this project was kind of cool. I mean it did take a while to finish the project but honestly I though I could’ve been done in a shorter amount of time. Although some parts were unclear to me, I should’ve made more effort to understand some parts of the project. Honestly my planning should’ve ben more on point because I assumed this project was a bit less complex than it actually was but it turns out I was a little bit wrong. I also learned that materials are very important when it comes to some projects that involve thought and precision. I plan to apply what I learned in this project through other projects so I can be more open minded and organized.

Urban Artifacts: Phase 3
Short Description:
This part of the project is related to the previous project because, I’m using the same photos from the previous project. The only difference is that I updated my refined sketches to make it appear more of an inked composition.
Hours:
I spent about Two Days working on my Inked compositions. It took me two days because I had to think my way through the inked compositions and I also thought about ways to edit the drawing to make it look presentable to the audience and to also feel satisfied with my work.
Urban Artifacts: Phase 2
Hours:
For This part of the project I spent about 3 hours in class drawing all these thumbnails and refined sketches.
Peoject#2: Sound Visualization Mashup-Phase 3
This anime is representing a mash up of two songs, Summertime and Feels Summer, both songs created by the artist Childish Gambino. The swirls are the Legato, they represent the long flowing manner of Childish Gambino’s voice in Feels like Summer. The circles and lines are the staccato. They represent the separated notes played by the repeated beats played summertime.

Dilapidated
Adjective
Definition- decayed deteriorated or fallen into partial ruin especially through neglect or misuse
this is another word that I found in the text of “here, poverty and privilege are neighbors” in the text it says “To the west, Brighton beach is packed with modest row houses, apartment buildings, dilapidated bungalows, and frame houses,”
i see that this word means to be misused and worn out. I say it has a relationship to the word “patina” which means rusty green or orange look.
Census
noun
definition- a count of the population and a property evaluation in early Rome
in the reading of “here, poverty and privilege are neighbors” it says “in the 1990’s the disparity in many neighborhoods became more pronounced, census data show.”
it’s clear to me that the word “Census” is the number of people living in poverty in that neighborhood at that time.
Affluent
adjective
definition- having an abundance of goods or riches, wealthy
in the text of “here, poverty and privilege are neighbors”, it says ” the affluent pushed deeper into neighborhoods they had once shamed.”
I understand now that the word is used to show some type of power over the lower and maybe the middle-class people.

Encompasses
verb
Definition-
include, comprehend a plan that encompasses a number of aims
to form a circle about: enclose
bring about, accomplish encompass a task
I encountered this word on the “Here, poverty and privilege are neighbors: income gaps are a source of resentment and guilt” reading, paragraph 9.
in the reading it says”, where one tract encompasses everything from new luxury apartment houses and full floor condominium lofts to small, decaying apartment buildings.”
I now understand what the word means by reading the definition and the sentence it was found in. it means everything is now coming into one. like there could be different last names in one family.
