Expressive Culture

           Since historical times people are interested in art or play. 'Expressive culture is: behavior and beliefs related to art, leisure and play.' Each cultures have different features of art. It depends on from place to place or from time to time. Every time life conditions are changed by some acts or people. Work of art represent people's livelihoods and the revival of traditional art. These are always changing. Sometimes people show religious dancing such as ghost dance movement. In this dance people decorated everywhere and they wear magical clothing according to religious beliefs. And sometimes art represent people's daily life from of old. 'Art is: the application of imagination, skill and style to matter, and sound that goes beyond the purely practical.' People are affected by different movements or skills. According to me the most important painter is Frida Kahlo. She has very different life and with this experiments she developed imagination. So she drew successful Picture with her skill. On the other hand in Brazil people dance in the street religious rules. This is several form of dance or art. Especially children are affected by art. Because they have big, strong imagination and skill. Children can produce every time to work of art. I think so music important act in people life. We can always listen to music in every time. If we are at the party people dance with music. Thus they can enjoy. On the other hand If people at ceremony of death people listen to slow music. People's cheer shape by these music.
