Japanese Arts And Trends

 Japanese Art covers a wide range of styles, that is implemented in its society, from poetry, sculpture, ink painting, among others. Japanese art covers a wide range of animations throughout the world, especially when it comes to cartoon animations. Pokemon and Dargon Ball Z are prime examples of that. Japanese distributors have used this style to market their products thought video, computer animation,  films,  video games, internet and commercials. Anime which was discovered in the early 20 century, uses hand drawings and computer animated programmin,, as  its grabbing the attention of artist in the  western world. Using different variations and styles to capture the characters, artists employ a variety of predetermined facial expressions to denote moods and thoughts. In the western world, its influence is becoming more transparent, through popular TV shows such as South Park.As Japanese animation draws in more audiences around the world, look for it to become a major contributor to the media, for years to come.

More Social Awareness In Music

 In a world, where the majority is suffering, because of  hardship, and economic downfall, there are some strong enough to bare through it all, and make it through the despair. Music is a tool that is used, to spread social awareness, especially about everyday problems facing our communities. As music becomes a market, money becomes the driving force behind its expression. Those who make it, as musical artist are becoming  less sympathetic, and disconnecting from society, focusing only on economical gains.But what happened to spreading social awareness, as the gap between the rich and the poor begins to widen. In these current times, many are  looking for questions and answers, but who´s there to provide and show the real graphics of life and talk about real problems. I remember a time growing up, when this was the driving force behind Hip Hop, Pop, R/B and dance hall music, but what happened to the realness and foundation of the music. As the majority is looking for more poor people governors, who can empathize with them, and let the government know what´s going on, and how they can step up their efforts to make the world a better place. Imagines, of your family crying everyday, because they don't know where the next meal is coming from. In my eyes, I see it as a crime. If you see something, and you don t do anything to resolve the issue,your guilty as charge. As they say, a hungry man, is an angry man, so when government talks about issues about irradiating crime, what do you expect the majority to do, when they don't provide them with proper avenues so they can excel in life. How about an education? what about health care? what about jobs? these are many things that need to be answered. I believe there needs to be more social consciousness, as musical artist have an obligation to let people know what´s  going on, by giving them hope and inspiration. We need a movement people! Artist need to talk more about real issues that change and affect our community.Otherwise music become a fade that doesn´t empathize or show any real compassion towards those who support it for the reason why it was created.

Here is a songs that  I found, that talks about real issues. It doesn´t really take much,  as simple as requesting  more social conscious songs over the radio, so the leaders can be aware about real problems affecting our society.

Jamaican Comedian Oliver Samuels

Proclaimed the undisputed King of Jamaican Comedy, Oliver Samuels has been making people laugh for over 30 years. Using his creative wit, and humor, to capture the Jamaican culture. His big break came when he had his television series Oliver At Large. In the Caribbean, he´s known as the Jamaican Bill Cosby. What makes Oliver Samuels unique is his ability to connect  to his audience through standard English and Jamaican patois. I remember Friday nights, growing up in Jamaica, sitting out on the veranda, busting out laughing, rolling around on the floor,with my family and friends. Here is a link that  I found I  wanted to share with you....Enjoy!!!

Universal Peace

I dream of a world , where there´s universal peace,

From all directions, North, South,West, and  East,

Along shores, valleys, hills, and peaks,

Let peace be the goal, we aspire to reach,

The earth spins throughout the night,

So we have one chance, to get it right,

The rain pours, the sun shines,

Providing the essentials for time.


The stars glimmer with hope of inspiration,

The moon pulls the ocean to higher elevation,

The galaxy uncovers new dimensions,

Beyond our imagery  and comprehension,

The seasons come and go,

For another year, to learn and grow,

I dream of a world, where imagination will flow.

Modern Chinese Art

Every country has a certain style or technique,which defines their culture. It feeds the artist the inspiration it needs, so they can create or capture the imagery through their eyes, based on the sensitivity .It conveys an idea, explains a story, and connects the imaginary, so it can lure the audience in. Chinese art has been long affiliated with social reforms, politics, that is seen and captured through the eye of the artist. There has had stories in the past of  famous works, in its glories, and  the labor models of the Cultural Revolution. Here are other countries, that have there own ideals when it comes creating and following their own trend, when it comes to social and political affairs in the arts.

Art Stems From The Seed

 The world of art is constantly growing and changing  before our eyes. As new trends begin to embargo on the way we feel and interpret things around us.  More and more people are discovering creative outlets to express their thoughts and ideas . From Graffiti, Chalk, Sculpture,  I found a site, that talks about a  new and growing tend,  which is very popular in Mexico. They make and interpretive portraits and images of nature from seeds. Seed Art, uses materials such as art pieces sparkle with color, and imagination; in a sense, they pay homage to the beauty and simplicity that abounds in nature. Food is more than for eating, in this story, it becomes the source material for artistic expression.
