PROYECT

THEORETICAL EXERCISES FIRST EVALUATION

1. - What is strength as basic physical ability? How many types of strength are there? Explain them and give an example of each of them.

The strength is the physical ability to perform a physical job or a movement.

There are three types of strength:

• Maxium strength: Is the maximum force a muscle can exert in a single maximalvoluntary contraction. It is used during weightlifting.

• Explosive strength: Explosive strength is the ability to exert maximal force in minimal time. To develop explosive strength and reactive ability you need to do two things. First, you must build your speed strength and second, in the same time frame, you must raise your absolute strength.

• Endurance strength: The ability to maintain muscular contractions or a consisten level of muscle force for extended periods of time. Relies upon aerobic efficiency to supploxygen and nutrients to the working muscles while removing metalobic waste. Examples: An endurance event like a 10K, marathon or triarlon; doing yard work or orther vigorous household chores; high volume bodybuilding-type trainning.

2. - What is flexibility as basic physical capacity? What factors does flexibility depend on?

The flexibility is the ability that allows body movement in all its range. 

The factors on which the elasticity depends are:

• Joint mobility or movement possibilities of the joint: The characteristics of each articulation determine the amplitude of the movements that can be achieved in each one of them.

• Muscle elasticity: The muscle subjected to a sufficient force yields and increases its length, once the cause that caused this lengthening has given way, the muscle returns to its primitive extension. This ability of the muscle to elongate and then return to its initial state, is what is called "elasticity".
• Intermuscular cordination: In any movement, even when carried out with an objective of development of flexibility; This is the result of the joint participation of different muscle groups that must act in an orderly manner in terms of time and tension. If this were not so, the movement would not be synchronized, would be uncoordinated, and would reduce its amplitude by interferences, wihch would act as a brake, between the muscle groups.In any movement, even when carried out with an objective of development of flexibility; This is the result of the joint participation of different muscle groups that must act in an orderly manner in terms of time and tension. If this were not so, the movement would not be synchronized, would be uncoordinated, and would reduce its amplitude by interferences, which would act as a brake, between the muscle groups.
• The age: Children are more flexible than adults, and this is because overtime, with the maturation of the subject, there is a progressive loss of extensibility of the muscles and ligaments.

3.- What is endurance as basic physical ability? How many types of endurance are there? Explain them and give an example of each of them.

Endurance is the ability to maintain physical effort for a long time.

• Anaerobic endurence: Anaerobic endurence training focuses on physiological improvements in the ability of muscles to support the production of force through neuronal and metabolic mechanisms. It is done in a short time but at a lot of intensity. Example: 100m at your maxium speed.
• Aerobic endurance: It is a training with less intensity than the anaerobic but much longer. Example: Rotate a circuit running at a normal speed.

4.- How can I improve my endurance? Explain two exercises to improve aerobic endurance.

Exercises:

• Farleck: You run arround a rectangle for 20-30 minutes and run as fast as you can on the small side and jog on the long sides.
• Swim: You swimming arround 20-30 minutes.

E. PROJECT II

- How would you describe the "program music"? (2 or 3 lines are enough).
Program music is a type of art music that attempts to musically render an extra-musical narrative. The narrative itself might be offered to the audience in the form of program notes, inviting imaginative correlations with the music.

- Choose one of the next examples (worked already a bit in Music classes) and do some research about the composer (4 or 5 lines are enough).
Antonio Vivaldi born on March 4, 1678, in Venice, Italy and he died on july 28, 1741. He was a Italian violinist, teacher and priest of the 18th century. He has composed more than 750 musical works. Around 350 of his concerts are written for solo instrument and strings, of which 230 are for violin. Some of his more important works are: The four seasons, Gloria and La Stravaganza.

- This is the musical piece we are playing in the class. Do you believe the composer transmits the title meaning in a good manner? Why?
Yes, becoause is very happy and it´s like a sunrise. Is very impulsive and sometimes it is strong and other times weaker.

D. PROJECT I

Wich one do you prefer? Why? (2 or 3 lines are enough).
The one I like the most is the third video because I like the music from behind and the voice of the singer because it is deep and beautiful. I like the first video but I prefer the third. I don´t like the second because there are many voices.

3)

Who was Bob Dylan? (2 or 3 lines enough).

Robert Allen Zimmerman, better known as Bob Dylan, was born in Duluth, Minnesota (United States) on May 24, 1941. He is an American singer-songwriter, author, and artist.

He has written and sung songs like Blowing in the Wind and Like a rolling stone.

- In Music classes I have told you about the sixties and the music of that period, including some videos. If you paid attention, you will be capable of writing down a summarize. (4 or 5 lines are enough.

In the sixties in America they listened to blues, jazz, ragtime and other regional styles.

In that same decade there was a countercultural movement called hippie or hippy, was libertarian and pacifist.

The most listened to artists at that time were: The Beatles, The doors, Jefferson Airplane and The Beach Boys.

VOCABULARY OF ART

Colour is present in our daily lives everyday, from sunset. We all know what colour is, however it is some way difficult  to give a definition. We could say that colour doesn´t exist cause it totally depends on the light. If there´s no light there´s no colour.
Colour is actually a sensation or impression, it is thought our brain has when it receives information from the eyes. It travels throught the air electromagnetic waves. Those waves come from the light the object´s surfaces reflect.
So there are basically two types of colours: Colored Light, additive colour, is a little harder to understand and explain and it can be studied from the Physics area of knwoledge. Material colours, also called subtractive mixture, are easier to understand and are all of them based in colored pigments mixed with a binder, both of them are the main ingredients for any paint.
Colour Harmony studies all types and classification of colours as well as the ways to combine them in compositions.

ICE SKATING

Ice skating is the recreation and sport of gliding across an ice surface on blades fixed to the bottoms of skates. The activity of ice skating has given rise to two distinctive sports: figure skating, which involves the performance of various jumps, spins, and dance movements; and speed skating and short-track speed skating, both of which are forms of racing on ice skates.

Ice skating probably developed in Scandinavia as early as 1000 BCE, the first skates being made from shank or rib bones of elk, oxen, reindeer, and other animals.

There is a type of figure skating that is the most contemporary figure skating and consists in interpreting a piece of musical skating on an ice rink and doing pirouettes, turns, jumps and acrobatics. Later it is valued by some judges.

There are also more types of ice skating. Speed skating, short track- speed skating…

PIGMENTS

NAPLES YELLOW:
One of the oldest synthetic pigments with very good hiding power, tintig strength, drying properties and chemical estability. It´s a lead anonimate used a colour tint in yellow ceramic glazes already in Babylion and Assyria and was also found in Egyptian glass of the XIX Dynasty.Up until the water colour period it´s importance is undocumented.
It has been essencial to the landscape tradition becouse it has the quality of appearing to receed into the pictures distant plain sun like other yellows which sit in front of the plain.

EGG TEMPERA:
Egg tempera is composed of egg yolk, powdered pigment, and distelled water. the egg yolk serves as the binder that holds the pigment together. The addition of water turns the paint into a usable paste-like form. Manufactured egg tempera also includes gums that act as dispersants.
Egg tempera is know for its linear qualities and capacity to produce jewel-like paintings. While it was once popular medium that reached its peak during the Renaissance, egg tempera fell out of favor with the rise of the more versatile oil paints.

Egg tempera ralies on cross-hatching and overals of glazing to achieve dimensionality.

POINTILLISM

Pointillism was a pictoral style that eerged in France in 1884 from post-impressionism. His technique consists in apply on the convas small dots of colours primary colours that are agreed and looked at from a different distance, it form in the eye a special efect.

Like post-impressionists, pointillism used nature as a motif but with a more cientific rigor from ideas of the critic and scholar of light Charles Blanc.

The main promoter and representative of pictoral pointillism was the french painter Georges Seaurat (1859-1891), who in 1884 founded the Société des Artistes Independants. There he become friends with Paul Signac, who shared pointillism ideas and techniques with him. He made his masterprice, "Tarde de Domingo en la isla de la tarde Jette".
