MEANING OF ARTS

Arts are the use of internal skills to create beautiful things. The following skills form of skills are acting, singing, photography, dancing, drawing etc.

ORIGIN OF ARTS

Ancient arts are stone carving, rock painting, pottery. It started from the early days of the cave men. These cave men uses animal blood and various earth colors on the rock.

Ancient people used drawing to communicate with one another. Like the ancient Egypt make use of picture symbol. The word arts was derived from the Latin word ARTI which means’ to do well’

The tonic sol-fa notation

Music notation is a system of signs used to represent music sounds. There is staff notation and sol-fa notation. Staff notation has seven notes. They are often written on the staff. On the other hand, a sol-fa notation is a system in which the notes of the music scale are represented by seven short words, namely do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do. It uses a system of musical notation known as modulator. The modulator deals with the rising and falling of sound.

In tonic sol-fa notation, every music tone or note is given a name according to its relationship with other tones in the key. The usual staff notation is replaced with tonic sol-fa. It has the abbreviations d, r, m, f, s, l, t, d. See the diagram

on page 47 for their descriptions in music. The tonic sol-fa method makes use of a system of time-names to aid in the study of time in music. The pulse is the unit of measurement, and a tone one pulse long is named TAA, for example: d :d d :d. When a tone continues through more than one pulse, it is indicated by

dash, and the time-name is obtained by dropping the consonant, for example:

d :d |d : |d :- | : TAA TAA TAA – AA | TAA – AA – AA – AA

A pulse is divided into halves (half-pulse) -,,,-, , tones are named TAATAI, and is indicated in the notation by a dot in the middle.

A tone continued into the first half of the next pulse, a paulse-and-a-half tone is named and indicated thus:

Values of tonic sol-fa

The values of tonic sol-fa notation are always represented by dots. The number of dots placed before the sol-fa notation determines the duration or the length of the sound. Sol-fa does not generally indicate time signatures, and does not differentiate between the different beat values of 2/2, 2/4 and 2/8. They are all written in the same way. A bar line (|) precedes the first beat of the bar, and a colon precedes beat two.

A note longer than one beat is indicated by a dash (–). A full stop precedes the half beat, and a comma precedes a quarter beat. An inverted comma (‘ ‘) precedes a triplet division. Rests are simply rhythm marks without sol-fa names.

The following are examples of the values in tonic sol-fa notation:

This represents half beat.

This represents one beat.

d:-: This represents two beats.

d:-:-: This represents three beats.

d:-:-:-: This represents four beats.

Setting words to sol-fa notation

Setting words to sol-fa notation means writing a poem or lyric and writing sol-

fa notation to represent them. It is important to understand the way words

are set to sol-fa notation in your study of music. Study the steps below. Your

teacher would guide you.

Step 1

The poem should be written out like this:

O-righteousness!

Righteousness exalts a nation.

Sin is a reproach to a people.

Lord, give us righteousness.

Step 2

The poem should be set to syllables:

O – Righteousness!

Righteousness exalts a nation. Sin is a reproach to a peo-ple.

Lord, give us right-eo

Step 3

The rhythm should be written out:

d – : d: d: / d : – : – : – : /

d – : d: d: / d : – : – : – : // (etc.)

Step 4

The tune should be set into tonic sol-fa:

d – : / : s : / d: – : – : – :

: right-eous-ness! (etc.) r : – d : t : / d : – : – : – // O right-eous-ness!

Clapping to the rhythm of the phrase (group of notes) set to music

Music reading requires constant practice for one to achieve fluency; and music reading involves clapping or tapping to the rhythmic movement of the music. This helps to bring out the sentences and phrases in the music.

As you gain experience, you are expected to be able to have knowledge of common rhythmic phrases, i.e. a group of music notes, which can be instantly recognized. This is the ability to respond to common phrases and idioms in any spoken language. Your music teacher will guide you through standard music repertoire, with technical exercises. This is in addition to rhythm-only drills, which will help you to greatly improve your adding abilities and sense of timing and it will also add variety to your music practice.

The following extract from Alan Cunningham’s song may be used in the training.

Gone were but the winter cold,

And gone were but the snow,

I could sleep in the wild woods

Where primroses blow.

When writing a rhythm, you are first expected to read the verse carefully. You should think about what the words mean; and then read it aloud to find which the strong (stressed) syllables are and which the weak are.

The first two lines in the verse above, for example, have alternate syllables stressed. You can mark them with accent signs, like this:

Góne were bút the winter cóld,

And góne were bút the snów,

If you say it aloud, you can hear that it almost automatically produces a duple-time rhythm, e.g. 2/4. Now you can set each syllable to a crotchet, and put each stressed crotchet in a strong position by making it as the first beat of a bar.

If you look at the third line, you will find that it is not so easy. However, by stressing alternate syllables like the first two lines on the fourth line, you would have to stress the last syllable of ‘primroses’ as follows:

Where primroses blow

But that does not sound right, because ‘primroses’ has a stress on the first syllable only.

If you read the words aloud, you can hear that the stress should be like this:

I could sleep on the wild woods

Where primroses blow

However, you can see that these stresses are not as regular as the first two lines, but you can keep the stressed syllables on the strong beats by using a combination of longer and shorter notes like this:

What is a Drawing?

Drawing is the art of making art works or pictures with the use of pen, pencil or any other material that is available. It is also a method of expressing creative and artistic feelings of artists by means of marking lines to represent the objects or forms. Other materials used for drawing includes: marker, crayon, drawing board, eraser, and pastel..

Drawing is a work of art.

It is a means of communication through the medium of art. We can therefore say that drawing is one form of art ‘language’ but this is not spoken language; it is just a way of expressing ideas, impressions, mood, feelings, etc. through the use of lines.

In drawing, we make use of lines

The artist in the picture is making use of lines to draw.

He can still draw other objects like chairs, knives, umbrellas, cupboards, etc., using lines.

Forms of Drawing

There are different forms of drawing. These are still life drawing, nature drawing, landscape drawing, imaginative drawing, life (or human) drawing, etc.

Still Life Drawing

This is the drawing of objects made by man. It is the drawing of objects which have no life, i.e., life-less objects. For example, we can draw still life objects like bottles, baskets, cups, buckets, tables, chairs, knife, umbrella, pen, biro, books, beds, mattresses, pots, cupboard, plates, jugs, etc.

(ii) Nature Drawing

There are many natural objects around us. God created these natural objects.

The drawing of these objects created by God is what we call nature drawing. The objects can be grouped into classes: For instance, animals, birds, insects, reptiles, plants, flowers, etc

Specific examples of objects under nature drawing are: elephant, lion, tiger, giraffe, deer, antelope, hyena, boar, zebra, monkey, gorilla, chimpanzee, fish, hippopotamus, crocodile, lizard, crab, spider, Ostrich, hawk, eagle, vulture, baobab tree, silk-cotton tree, cam wood tree, etc

(iii) Landscape drawing

An artist should be observant. He or she should observe his or her environment. There are several environments to observe.

For instance, the school environment, the village environment, the city environment, e.g., the markets, the motor park, railway station, the football stadium, the airport, the seaport, forest, mountain, seashore, etc.

(iv) Imaginative Drawing

An artist can draw what is not physically available to him or her. This is an imaginative drawing. It is a drawing from the memory. The artist creates a picture mentally.

It may be the picture of an object, a person, or an environment. He figures out the shape, the figure or the landscape, and begins to draw from memory without seeing the object or the person or the environment.
