Art & Humor
Art
·
Art has been defined as a vehicle for the expression
or communication of emotions and ideas, a means for exploring and appreciating
formal elements for their own sake, and as mimesis or representation.
·
It means whatever it is intended to mean by the artist herself, and this
meaning is shaped by the materials, techniques, and forms of the art, as well
as the ideas and feelings it engenders in the viewer.

Art, at its simplest, is a form of communication. It means whatever it
is intended to mean by the artist herself, and this meaning is shaped by the
materials, techniques, and forms of the art, as well as the ideas and feelings
it creates. Art can also simply refer to the developed and efficient use of a
language to convey meaning with immediacy and or depth. Art is an act of
expressing feelings, thoughts, and observations. There is an understanding that
is reached with the material as a result of handling it, which facilitates
one's thought processes.
Humor

Humor is
comprised of three components: wit, mirth, and laughter.
Wit is the cognitive experience, Mirth the emotional experience, Laughter the physiological experience.

We often
equate laughter with humor, but there are many instances of laughter (tickling,
nervousness, etc.) that clearly have little to do with humor.
Similarly, there are many instances of humor that do not result in laughter (due to the mood of the appreciator, the social context, etc.).

Humor is a
quality of perception that enables us to experience joy even when faced with
adversity.
·
You cannot
feel stress, angry, depressed, anxious, guilty, or resentful and experience
humor at the same time.
Like beauty being in the eyes of the beholder, humor is in the funny bone of the receiver of the experience.

People who are under stress
People who are under stress pay more attention to the upside of a
possible outcome. Stress also increases the differences
in how men and women think about risk. When men are under stress, they become
even more willing to take risks; when women are stressed, they get more
conservative about risk.

Guelaguetza Festival
I’m going to
talk about a festival that takes place on Mexico specifically in the state of
Oaxaca, this is the Guelaguetza, it brings together people from different parts
of our country and even foreign people come to see. It showcases regional
folkloric dance and music, keeping alive a tradition that has been handed down
for centuries. Held in July, most of the events take place at a large
amphitheater perched atop a hill which has a very complex infrastructure. For a
more intimate experience, many surrounding communities host smaller versions of
the festival.
The
Guelaguetza is simply the most important festival in Oaxaca. It is the meeting
of the eight regions of the state on Fortin Hill.
Each region
has the most valuable traditions and cultural heritage through dance, music,
songs and costumes. At the end of each entry are given away to the public hats,
fruit, food, crafts, and more.
A
surprising fact is that each region makes its own band. Of course, live music
is played throughout the event.
The
Guelaguetza is a high expression of artistic and traditional Oaxaca, an impressive
gathering of people, music, dance, heritage from every corner of this cultural state.
An event that will leave a lasting impression on anyone who has the opportunity to live it.
