music literacy

Why we still remember the song we used to sing when we were little child? Because they are easy to remember and their melody is simple. While we getting old, more song we listen, even the song was publish before we were born. Song had been record for centuries and translate in many language to pass thought between. There also have types of song, classic, Jazz, pop, etc. A song can make a long story from thousands words to hundreds. It make sroties easier to remember without losing its own defination and background. People sing songs to release their emotion or show how they feel at specific time. Moreover, a song can present a culture's begining and how it change along with time.
Music helps people to memorise a story, because song can fully explain one's feel. Others can know the storys. Music primary contain melody and word, or only melody. The wirter of melody, he may put his own story in it, or a specific time to address this emotional work. Listen music is a different way to read, read by ear. As long as music show out, at the end, people has the clue of story it consisted. The recent time also influence the song at the same time, to present the recent people feel, and their experiences. Music is even the very first product of using literacy before reading in words.

picture literacy

We see pictures around us, newspaper,magazine, ads, or even a short moment of view of one thing. Someone may press the shutter to catch the moment. A picture can mean one thing or more, a series of picture can tell a powerful story. The charm of the picture is a second of shoot, the next second may change the story completely. Picture tells stories to people, and people find stories and catch the moment by camera. Moreover, the story defination could change by different people's view. That is how picture be a literacy and creat in human civilazation.
One picture seen by some people may take just a picture. Others may find the story behind, or even add their own story into the picture. Literacy is a product of human creativity. A catch of moment may not be copy in any forms, cause the typical moment would never appear again, even how much people trying to rebuild the specific "second".
This is how picture story unique. Like the classic book publish on centuries ago. The author is not exist anymore, and people still reading his work. Even their are any person who may be better than him, but never find the author's think on that time of writing. Picture also record the history and tell stories to people around or even next generation.

psychological test literacy

If mind can be "read" by certain test, then it's possible to read people's mind. A Psychological test can help people know more about themselves or even other's self. On the other hand, we can say Psychological test is the process that people read their or each other's mind. Between answers of questions people tend to find more about themselves or other's. Different question or situation that people themselves in will cause different consequences.

Street Painting literacy






The street painting is prohibit in some countries, but in America or some Asian countries is famous and common in some corner of street or lane we usually walk without notice. These painting may done by some people did for fun. However, some professional artist. Take it as a way of showing their idea of world or even think that art should not limited. They trying to paint picture or slogan to people to understand what happen in corner by using their color spray on the wall. From these work, some people may think as mischievous, but some may find some special thinking behind these counterculture painting.

The idea of painting on the wall, some artist said they want to make world more beautiful in some places people may never go, different street painting in variable places can also present its local culture. In America, paint in words and many decoration, Asian used to paint pictures, Europe has 3D street painting like the one has helicopter saving people on the ground. The street paint would like a living picture, because it's keep changing and adding different thing or element to combine within one wall.

HW for MAR 2

The literacy for me, in general, is the ability to read and understand a language in any forms. The literacy can be in media, music, etc, literacy has no boundaries. Because the language is open, could be a sound or shouting between animals, we cannot identify it as not a language, because we cannot understand. Furthermore, literacy could define as read or understand a certain message and recognize in our mind. Specifically, literacy should be able to read typical word is written in any language and is been prove before.
