PAGE_My Driving Question

Artists in this day are more advanced in their knowledge abd exploration of art. Poeple's emotions and opinions have expanded over the years, and their view on recent art has or has not changed.

With peace art, the artist is trying to put you at ease. They are trying to communicate "their" feelings and view of peace. They want you to understand how they feel.

What is the connection between the artist and the viewer?


OUR DRIVING QUESTION:

Could a song about peace inspire one to be a better person, therefore be more "pro-peace" ? how?


SOME STUDIES have shown that listening to violent music lyrics or heavy metal increase agressive and hostile thoughts and feelings*. But what if the music that was listened to was about peace? How would the listeners feeling or thoughts change or stay the same??

One site claims that listening to peaceful music while medatating can improve the medatation drastically and make it easi er to achieve the peak of medatation.


"It's a proven scientific fact that every cell in your body is affected by the sounds that you hear — be it music, spoken words, or noise from traffic. The good news is that you have great influence over what sounds you expose yourself to."
