PRELIMINARIES<\/strong>: Our discussion this week has two parts–the first related to chapter 31 and the second one related to chapters 33-34<\/strong>. TOPIC: <\/strong> Please <\/strong>respond to both of the following subjects<\/strong>, using the class text and sources under the Explore heading<\/strong> as the basis of your response: <\/p>\n Explore:<\/strong> <\/p>\n Debussy and Mahler<\/i> <\/p>\n Kandinsky on Color<\/i> <\/p>\n
\nDo both parts. There is also the usual EXPLORE list under the topic.
\nBe sure to use that instead of any random googling for answers–you are
\nrequired to use the class text each week and at least one of the
\nEXPLORE-listed websites. HINT:
\nThe Explore list normally suggests what page numbers to focus on.
\nANOTHER HINT: If using the eBook purchased via our bookstore, when you
\njust click on the on-screen page, the page number appears on the lower
\nleft of the screen. Jot it<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\nONE: Determine whether you prefer a work by Debussy or Mahler after
\nlistening to works by each at the Websites below or in this week’s Music
\nFolder and after reading about them in our class text<\/strong>. Be sure
\nto read how one of the composers was inspired by poetry and the other by
\nphilosophy. Explain the reasons for your preference of the work. Would your choice also inspire more productivity by workers in the workplace? Describe the types of things that inspire you to creativity. <\/strong>\n<\/li>\n
\nyou let your eye stray over a palette of colors, you experience two
\nthings. In the first place you receive a purely physical effect, namely
\nthe eye itself is enchanted by the beauty and other qualities of color.
\n[\u2026] These are physical sensations, limited in duration. They are
\nsuperficial, too, and leave no lasting impression behind if the soul
\nremains closed. And so we come to the second result of looking at
\ncolors: their psychological effect. They produce a correspondent
\nspiritual vibration, and it is only as a step towards this spiritual
\nvibration that the physical impression is of importance. … Generally
\nspeaking, color directly influences the soul<\/i>.” \u2013 Wassily Kandinsky. Discuss
\nthese ideas for the use of color and its impact in our own times, such
\nas color\u2019s effect for advertising and sales, or its impact in the
\nworkplace and home<\/strong>\u2014or place of business, like a hotel or office complex.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
