g here anymore but you can find our new blog at codyandwhitney com posted by whitney at 10 26 pm no comments tuesday april 12 2011 remember when remember when campus was really intimidating and you felt really young remember when you were afraid of getting lost remember when you had to share a communal bathroom in the dorms remember your first day of classes when all you could think was how am i gonna keep up with all of this when now you wish you could have it as easy as your freshman year remember when all of your guy friends left on missions and you were afraid of dating rms remember your first byu football game remember your first byu basketball game and they d do the kissing screen and you were terrified it would land on you remember how wierd it was to go to church on campus in my case a science lecture hall remember how weird it was to have a huge auditorium class just remembering after all tomorrow is my last day of classes of my college career and yes it is very odd for the past twenty years walking into and sitting down in a classroom to take notes has been a regular part of my day to day schedule you get used to it and come to expect it but now the next time i ll walk into a classroom will be either to sub i m playing around with the idea or to go to a parent teacher conference for my kids crazy some of the classes i ve taken over the years arts in western culture human development physical science women s chorus american heritage biology geography world affairs marriage prep university writing intro to greek and roman lit volleyball 2 semesters of latin audio basic principles humanities of asia spanish music theory dictation sight singing music history american humanities colonial 1876 and 1877 present philosophy of art interpretation of literature and arts cultural history of russia phonetics and pronunciation of russia intro to film humanities the spanish baroque humanities theology in lit and film art history piano clearly not all of my classes but a sampling i think that by the end i will have over 150 credit hours and i m just graduating with a bachelors what can i say i like to take classes for fun you see now why i m a major like humanities one subject just isn t enough for me posted by whitney at 11 15 am 2 comments saturday april 9 2011 you ve had a bday shout hurray hmmm start studying for my music history final or blog blog so i have some more pics for ya yesterday was cody s 25th birthday now for approximately 33 days i can call him old man and grandpa 25 wow quarter of a century now no matter how much people may want to they have to admit that we are adults whatever that word means never mind the fact that we ve been adults for well over five years now shrug ya know i m going to be excited for my kids when they are getting older i m not going to hold on and continue to see them as little kids i m going to celebrate their new found adulthood or whatever cause i think it will be a lot more fun to see them as they really are getting mature r becoming their own person etc and knowing that i ll be that much closer to having some more time for me when they move out plus let me tell you from experience kids respond positively to those who take them seriously anywho so i hope yesterday was fun enough for code despite that 8 9 hour stint of working all day long on projects ugh so in the morning i woke him up with some muffins with candles in them he said it was kind of alarming to wake up with open flame next to his face but he got over it quick his presents he got president monson s new biography from mom and dad thanks guys he got new racketball goggles that he can t wait to try out and the big gift amazon s kindle along with that he got a 25 gift card to amazon to buy books for it from me and his family in georgia thanks guys the other gift from the noldens hasn t gotten here yet but he s excited to extend his bday to today he also got the first season of lie to me which we re excited to get our family in texas addicted to once we get down there and a deck of uno cards shrug he really wanted this game and the german version of ticket to ride um i think that was everything after our days working me at the museum and him at home i picked him up and we went to shoga japanese grill and sushi bar up on state and university pkwy it was really good and a cool atmosphere and pretty cheap for sushi then we came back and opened presents and then we had some friends over for some coldstone mmmmmint choc chip icecream cake the guys of course played some smash and that was our evening it was a good bday but i wish we weren t both so busy so i could have planned more gone all out but that s ok a good time was had by all posted by whitney at 11 04 am no comments thursday april 7 2011 a little bit of upper manhattan right here in provo this was a quote from the opening of byu museum of art s new exhibition the matter of words cody and i went by and checked it out real quick it s contemporary but don t let that scare you away it s pretty cool the coolest part was the center piece of the exhibition an 80 000 lb tower of books if only it had been ready in time for me to prepare my final tour exam in but oh well 3 mormon towns will be good too and to see the scale of this bad boy and a close up of the books and magazines that made up the tower check it out it really does feel like some sort of urban contemporary exhibit pretty cool and a fun date night posted by whitney at 8 05 pm no comments the super 18 state summer road trip of 2011 i know catchy right now while this sounds like an awful lot of driving it s happening mainly in the east so all the states are really close in the end we ll drive a total of 1 5 2 days but it will be split up by stopping and staying at friends and family places just enough for us not to get burnt out or smelly on the road in the next 24 hours we should get a call from allied vanlines who will be moving us to houston we already have our tickets out of here so this is the last step figure out when they can come out to take a look at how much we have not much and schedule the day they will come and pack us up and move us out hopefully we ll only be homeless one night things i m looking forward to this summer visiting family in georgia also visiting brunswick to meet the nolden grandparents and biking around jekyll island sounds fun huh visiting my aunt cheryl and her family in virginia while we tour d c for a week i can t wait to see all of the monuments museums and d c cupcakes even if their reality show acting is a little forced going on the metro in d c and exploring on foot visiting my best friend heather and her husband and for the first time her little emily possibly picking up eric from his base and driving to kansas to see my other brother mike and his family eating at braum s chillaxing in houston with eric and mom and dad until our apartment is ready on june 1st when allied vans will come back and move us in again in the barker cypress area yeah we totally don t have an apt near the pool but still posted by whitney at 6 38 pm no comments thursday march 31 2011 the formal qualities of art so tonight in my docent class our teacher wanted us to practice having to talk about formal elements of art without much time to prepare to show us that it can save you if you re not as familiar with the subject matter of a particular exhibit you can still create interesting discussion based on basic elements such as line color shape space and texture well one girl chose to speak about space in a few pieces and to open she used this question in art there are five formal elements line color shape space and texture now which one of these is expressed in all art forms across the board music visual art dance theatre etc there was a pause and then after a few people offered their opinions she said space le sigh ok not that i m being critical of her opinion cause she only had ten mintues and i don t expect the average person to have an in depth knowledge of music but come on not that i m saying space is the wrong answer sure it s right of course she tied it to music by saying there is space between the notes on a page of music tho i m not sure if she was referring to the physical space left to right between notes in a melody line or if she was trying to reference what is called intervals distance between two pitches up and down but whatever it works it s just i don t know i was distracted the rest of her presentation cause i was just thinking about how incomplete her statement was to be honest all of the formal elements in art run across the board in all artistic mediums all of them not just one though again i understand that this only matters to music geeks like myself but here we go incase anyone poses this philosophical question to you so line i m thinking i don t have to explain any of these elements connections to art because it s frankly obvious in visual art music ever heard of a melodic line or harmonic line before whether it s stagnant or flowing due to rhythm rests pitches etc and the chords themselves having certain structures that lead to the next chord and the next until a cadance resolution etc totally applies to music dance theatre with choreography and physical placement of things this could also totally apply color again art duh music there is such a thing as color in music but in music we refer to it as timbre pronounced tamber which basically refers to the type of sound emitted by a voice instrument just think of how different a tuba sounds from an oboe they have different timbres a lot of times people will say how strings have a warm timbre and the winds have a colder more sharp timbre shrug i ve heard some warm winds and some cold strings before whatever personal taste but there ya go color in theatre dance etc duh shape music there is shape in music it s called dynamics and tempo as well as playing with personal feeling playing musically it s much more than notes on a page but the personal expression you give to it etc dance and theatre totally applies texture now this is a tricky one for those who don t study music cause as opposed to the art world music seems much more abstract or at least non physical hard to touch it etc but texture is there too texture in music refers to the simplicity or the complexity of the music if there is just a simple monophonic line one melody it s a light texture as opposed to a melody with a harmonized accompaniment homophonic or fifteen different instruments playing all at once and all different melodies at once polyphony either way texture is a real part of music though i m not an expert on theatre dance texture at least has reference to costumes and could i think be argued to be seen in how many people are on stage one vs a whole company or one person talking as opposed to a whole crowd shouting different things at once etc space ok space in music is relevent as far as intervals go again ammount of whole and half steps between two pitches as well as range or register like flutes are obviously a high register while tubas are at a low register space but referring to physical notes on a page as music technically isn t right cause that s not music is it that s notation a physical representation of music but not what we hear which is what music actually is finicky i know but that s the nature of the beast you got to be exact with it cause it s so abstract and then theatre dance duh so you see all apply across the board that s why i love the humanities because we not only specialize in one thing but enable ourselves to see connections across the board that lead us to broader truths and realizations about a society race movements of thought philosphies and humans in general etc this semester i m taking an art history class and music history class and they overlap in everything sure there s different vocab words to describe the techniques but the background philosophies mental movements government influences societal changes are all the same and their effects can be seen in music and art it s cool and basically i m so glad that i chose to specialize in music cause out of all the rest no offense i think it s the hardest to grasp i mean people hear it on the radio they like it but that s pretty much where it stops for them how often do people who like a song go buy a score to check out to really learn about it but art you just look at what s infront of you and that s all you can do look and think dont get me wrong the other fields in the arts are deep with rich histories etc but they re just more tangible and therefore seem to be more accessible if one wants to learn more in depth about it where music is well a little more abstract mathematical etc you need to be able to do more than just see you need to see hear feel touch if playing an instrument while doing critical thinking in your head etc i dunno ok geek session over now that i got that out of my system posted by whitney at 9 57 pm 2 comments tuesday march 29 2011 last weekend so some things we ve been up to lately i interviewed my grandpa adams for a genealogy class and am now in the process of transcribing said interview here s one of all three of us yes i realize this is a horrible angle of me but it s the only one that cody is in and he matters more to me than a bad angle now that s love and of course a trip to grandpa s wouldn t be complete without the dog in other news we went to the hogle zoo this past weekend it was pretty cold but we still managed to have fun of course being at the zoo i couldn t help but remember the last time i was there as a surprise bday activity i was bored so gavin played rock paper scissors with me while i waited to be able to take off the blind fold and this weekend it was fun but kind of depressing i don t recall cement being part of any animals natural habitat but they had a ton of monkies then it just started getting depressing as we watched these monkies try to escape and pretty much climed themselves into a corner once they hit the glass there was also a tiger that was kind of freaky he would pace back and forth and then all the sudden he hunched down and his eyes were lazored in on this kid that was running around oblivious just following his every move it was really freaky and really made you respect these animals they are not tame by any means that tiger wanted a kid sandwhich bad and it s amazing how little a fence can make you feel safe i learned that animals who are oblivious can be just as annoying as people who are oblivious to all around them i wouldn t leave you in suspense on whether or not the poor lil guy got out from under this oblivious tortoise posted
