My future plans


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.

Speaking

Come and visit "The Guelaguetza Festival"



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.
