EXPLORING ART

Within this episode of the Exploring Art Podcast, I– your host– Elio, will be joined with Ty and Gabriela to discuss our perspectives regarding preserving Socrates’ memory through art.

“Dive into the world of philosophy and art on the Exploring Art Podcast. Hosted by Sierra and co-hosted by Arlene. In this episode, we talk about the life of Socrates through the strokes of Rembrandt and the lens of Stieglitz.”

This podcast episode explores how
English gardens have evolved from
formal, structured designs influenced by
the Renaissance and Baroque periods to
more naturalistic, picturesque landscapes
inspired by the Romantic era. Hosted by
Jonathan, alongside Vanessa and
Demilade, this episode compares and
contrasts ‘reading’ a garden in
comparison to a novel or painting. The
hosts discuss how gardens immerse the
spectator in an intimate experience that
demands the individual to traverse
through its body, exploring the many
layers and sources of living vegetation
and wildlife it stores. The diverse range of gardens allows viewers to form unique
interpretations influenced by the
observer's cultural context and personal
perspective, allowing a personable
connection to form between the viewer and the art.

FIU students, Nikolas, Liana, and Nikolas, explore the themes behind William Kent's Garden at Stowe and how gardens of the 18thcentury differ from those of today.

In this episode Jake, Katherine and Hossep
dive into the unpredictable nature of Merce
Cunningham’s choreography -Winterbranch-
and think about what the true intent of the
piece connotes.

Host Mia engages in a thoughtful discussion with guest Nick about the various roles that gardens have played in art, spanning from the 18th century to contemporary gardens.

This episode Lina, Melissa, and Dylan discuss the medium of art that is gardens and everything you need to know about them.

A history lesson and discussion on portraits in different mediums. How they can change their meaning and feelings based on those mediums.

In this episode, Kyle and Corina will discuss Merce Cunningham, a unique dancer who revolutionized contemporary dance, and his piece, Winter branch. They will see whether its theme is based on human catastrophes as the audience views it, the idea of bodies falling as portrayed in the piece, or nothing at all, as well as whether Cunningham's intentions are relevant to a person's understanding of his piece.

The play by Merce Cunningham called “Winter
Branch” is very abstract and the fact that there
were no real statements made by the author adds
to that ambiguity. The host, Arseniy, along with
my valuable researchers fellow students Diego
and Fabiana uncover this piece to see what we,
regular students, think about it.
