Occupy Reality.

Occupy is a movement so strong in America during this finical crisis and Diego Rivera's Frozen Assets mural is a great depiction of art and reality behind our countries wealth. This piece draws many emotions with its somber feel and dim colors. Occupy is taking a stand for what they feel is right, them being the 99% of the population in a financial fall. Murals by Diego Rivera were done by him to evoke feelings and create deep thoughts; with the “Frozen Assets” mural he did a very good job of that. Rivera was a master at seeing a problem and being able to illustrate it. The now famous occupy movement has done a good job of showing the country that there is a serious finical equality problem and this movement has spurred thought in not only Americans but the world. Occupy camps are popping up all over the globe like, Occupy India, Occupy China and the infamous Occupy Oakland. Rivera’s work was something dear to his heart such as the people of Occupy and his work created a following as people began to understand the strong points and reasoning behind his hard work. Each passing day with these protest the occupy movement puts another staple in history just as Rivera had with his work and both with be everlasting and have changed our country.

Inspiration.

Inspiration touches the heart, engulfs the soul, and spews out of your pores of action. To be inspired is almost to be reborn in a sense of new direction. Once you’re inspired by something it’s almost as if your train of thought changes or you’re given a new outlook. Music is something that inspires me, it can change my mood it can get me down or give me a warm feeling inside. Pending my mood my music will change, I can listen to all types of music I love all genres. Music to me is almost a place of serenity and a place to open your mind. The inspiration I get from listening to Neo Soul is a feeling of ease and thoughtfulness. An urge to dance comes from music, or an attempt to dance when an upbeat song is on. R&B can simple make me think or really feel a melody, this inspires a mellow side of me. Just a simple ballad can change your outlook on a situation, for example a downer of a day can change with an optimistic song or even just make you smile. Music was made to entertain, but music is much more than just that to me. It is a gateway that helps stir up my creative juices, and at times I get fully invested into a beat, melody or even tone. Lyrically is where music hits home the most, I can really meditate on lyric’s, I will either relate to or just have a strong feeling for and they can bring out almost any type of emotion out of me. Inspiration can come in many forms what inspires me just happens to have smooth vibrations.
