Class Of Sharing

What a great class this past Wednesday, I had a blast.  I thought sitting around listening to everyone share their work brought the class together.  I enjoyed hearing from people who don’t usually speak in class and thought it was a good way to see everyone.  Throughout the brief descriptions of peoples work I had this sense of getting to know the person better because of the stories they held with an artist or how they described what the artist meant to them.  Some of the class had artist I never knew about and others had more mainstream which I knew, but all in all each person had a good reason why they found the women powerful.           

            One of the artist that we got the chance to all listen to was Fiona Apple.  I had not heard of her before and it is always nice to be exposed to different music.  I don’t know exactly what style she is but I enjoyed the different beats and the changing of the vocals from having long winded words to short quick and high pitch.  As we only listened to three songs, each song had so much emotion and time spent putting it together.  I don’t know Professor Santos on a personal level but I can see how anyone could relate to songs that are filled with so much meaning. 

            Even though we could only hear Fiona Apples songs, everyone who shared in the class gave a meaning full description of the impact the artist had on them.  The sharing of all these different artist made me see that everyone might be raised on this and that but some artist really stand out of the bunch.  It was nice to hear the stories.  I enjoyed the assignment and the class that followed it.
