HUM 112 Week 6 Discussion

HUM 112 Week 6 Discussion


Tchaikovsky and Women in Art
Please respond to one (1) of the following, using sources under the Explore heading as the basis of your response:
  • Select one (1) composition by Tchaikovsky that you enjoy. Describe the music and subject matter of that work, and explain why you enjoy it. Explain the key reasons why you believe that compositions by Tchaikovsky continue to be popular with contemporary orchestras and audiences. Passionate nationalism, like Tchaikovsky's for Russia, could be a feature of Romantic art and music and in the arts of the late 1800s. Give primary examples of music today (besides national anthems) that is characterized by nationalism.
  • Select two (2) paintings depicting females by both a male artist and female artist named within the Explore section. Compare and contrast these two (2) depictions of women, and comment on any general tendencies that you detect among artists of that era in this respect. Compare this situation in the late 1800s to the way females are depicted in our own modern times, using at least one (1) specific modern example.
  • Our second chapter deals with two horrific issues in American history:  1) the treatment of the now free 4 million new African American citizens and 2) the treatment of the Native American population as the US pushed towards the Pacific Ocean.  Choose two examples from each and compare how each group was treated by the US after the Civil War.
