When writing an email to someone, it can make it easier for you and the person receiving the email because it is instant and do not have to wait for it to be received either through the post or finding the person to give it to them. An email can be useful because an email can be sent to many different people instead of just one person receiving it. Phones can receive emails which is useful because if the person is out they can receive the email to their phones. Problems with emails is that the emails can be sent to a trash folder which means you will not know that you have been sent the email. Not every email is received and having a crowded inbox can mistake you for a different email or you may not see the email. Touch: Touch communication can show a person reassurance, empathy and also respect. Being touched can be people’s weak points, some may not want to be touched or like being touched. Touching can invade people’s person space, or it can be sexual harassment.

...Essay on Art/Expression Seminar I: Exploring the Liberal Arts Ottawa University 02/01/14 Introduction Art is the most creative way for communication possible. They are many forms of art. As I researched many different forms of art, I see art as the form of something visual. I know this is a cliché, but I believe beauty is in the eyes of the holder. Art is how people perceive it through others expressions. And also the relationships people have with arts. The Body of Art/Expression I learned that Robert Frost and Maya Angelou were great poets. But quite different in the way they wrote their poetry. Robert Frost liked to use everyday words you could use in a conversation. He believed poetry should not tell us something we don’t know, but to teach us. As for Maya Angelou, she had different way of writing. Angelou was an African American who had a difficult childhood. Angelou was raped by her mother’s boyfriend. This caused her to stop talking. Through expression of Art, she became a great poet. Artistic expression can take on many forms. Whether it is painting, writing poems or books, composing music or one of the many ways that people express themselves. Art expression is a way to promote creativity that can increase happiness. So whatever artistic pleasure a person likes, it is how a person likes it its how they express me in through art is through music. I enjoy singing and listening to country music. It has a calming effect on me. As for a career...

...Censorship and its affect on Art Regardless if you like art, music or just simply reading books, I am sure you have your favorites that have made a serious impact on your life, but what about all those works that you never got to see, read or feel? Maybe you never will, if they have fallen victim to the act of censoring. “Censorship is defined as the alteration or removal of works of art from public view” (Frank 92). Along with wars, conflicts, cultural influences, and evolution of societies, censorship has had an enormous effect on art of the past and will greatly alter the trajectory of art in the future for better or worse. The one who controls the ultimate decision whether to eliminate or support expression through art will be of the utmost importance in the growth and development of artistic expression. “The struggle for freedom of expression is as ancient as the history of censorship” (Newth). Everywhere free expression has been achieved, censorship follows, never too far behind. One of the more famous acts of censorship occurred when Socrates, a most influential philosopher of history was sentenced to drink poison for “corrupting” the youth with his ideals that varied from the current political and moral codes of his time. This happened in 399 BC. Gives you an idea of how long censorship has effected expression, and this is by no means the first time censorship took place in history. I personally never put too much thought into censorship and the severity of its faults...

It serves as the Archimedean point where media practitioners and citizens are empowered to air out their concerns without undue fear, simply because this provision of the Bill of Rights (Article III) safeguards these said rights. This clause in the constitution carries with it the history of the Filipinos' fight for freedom.Originally asserted in the Malolos Constitution (approved on January 20, 1899) as "right to freelyexpress his ideas or opinions, orally or in writing, through the use of the press and other similar means", this fight for freedom has transcended through various epochs of Philippine history; carried on from one charter change to another; and pulled through every rise and fall of one administration to the next. However, laws governing the practice of mass media in the Philippines does not solely rest on the present Constitution; they are also contained in the numerous issuances of the Courts and the Philippine legislature.

...Various forms of art, music, and literature influence our day to day reactions to the ongoing changes in our society. Art powers society, people make this happen for the reason that all they are, do, have, and dream about is inspired by art. Art is music, literature, media, sports, technology, and pretty much anything else you can think of. Look anywhere around you–art is there; and most of the time that art is the best of its kind. People who work in advertising spend 10+ hours a day thinking of ways to get you to notice their product and the ones that have the best art work are usually the most successful. Even the hypothetical “lack” of art IS art in its own way. I am in the universe, and the universe is in me. I do art, and art does me… Art is expression, a statement, if you don’t have a statement to make, there is no art. So where do statements come from? Our life, our situation, our society. In an artistic process, I get an impression from something, and process it and when I release it in any artistic form of expression; someone else gets an impression from my expression. And so they can process it and share it and possibly express it so other impressions are made. In this sense, society influences my expression, which again influences others, if effective. And this communication is only effective when my process is honest all through and through, which means, my impression, my process and expression must be in synch. Helen Keller has always been influential in my life...

...THE IMPACT OF NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION CUES USED BY LECTURERS DURING LECTURES A CASE STUDY OF DR MFON ITEK and MR MIKE IGIRI WRITTEN BY EKPO, YVONNE UWEM 10/AR/CA/661 AKPAN, EDIDIONG ANIEDI 10/AR/CA/640 SUBMITTED TO DR ITA EKANEM LECTURER-IN-CHARGE COM317: CASE STUDIES IN COMMUNICATION ARTS DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION ARTS FACULTY OF ARTS MARCH, 2013 INTRODUCTION Nonverbal communication is behavior, other than spoken or written communication, that creates or represents meaning. In other words, it includes facial expressions, body movements, and gestures. Nonverbal communication is talking without speaking a word. It is very effective, maybe even more so than speech. Remember the saying, “Actions speak louder than words” or “a deafening silence” You may be surprised to know that not only humans respond to this kind of communication. If you have a pet, especially a dog, it may follow directions and respond to hand and body movements more than your words. Dogs will even get confused if you say “sit” but give the hand motion that you usually use for “stay”. There are two main types of nonverbal communication, the body language and the gesture. Body language: Body language is body movements that depend on a person’s attitude or feelings. Body language includes the way people walk, how they stand, and their facial features. In other words, any kind of meaning that is shown by a person's body attitude or movements. For example, when a student sees...

...Demonstrative communication is the act of communicating verbally or non-verbally. It can be effective or ineffective, positive or negative for both the sender and the receiver. Demonstrative communication includes written communication, verbal communication, tone of speaking or writing voice, as well as body language and tone such as facial expressions, crossing of the arms, or a simple nod of the head (Cheesebro, 2009). Being an active listener is also a vital part of communication. Demonstrative communication is the process of transferring a message from one person to another. When talking about verbal communication, “speaking” is the first thing that comes to mind. Verbal communication is merely the art of speaking. In communicating verbally it is important to take into account your choice of words, tone of voice, as well as facial expressions, and other forms of body language. Although speaking may be the most essential part of the communication process the way you speak and how you relay the message determines the way the receiver will interpret the message that you are trying to get across. Choice of words is important when speaking to others because it determines the end result of the overall communication. We often say things that we may not mean to say and do not realize it until after we have already said it. We also often explain things in the wrong way and the message gets misunderstood. According to Communication Coach, we have three ways to rectify situations...

...In “Expression Through Dance,” the artist, Mira Holifield, portrays her love of dance. Painted in dull and realistic hues using oil paint, a dancer is the focal point. The background consists of a bright mix of warm and cool colors, primarily blue and orange. It is non-objective with a mixture of irregular, jagged and wavy lines that overlap each other. The overall composition attracts the viewer’s eye to the center of the page toward the figure, then draws them outward. The lines in this artwork express the mix of feelings and emotion involved in dance. They create contrast while unifying the composition. The irregular lines demonstrate how unique each person is and how their personality is shown on the outside when they are vulnerable and give themselves to dance. The loose brush strokes express lightheartedness, and capture the energy and motion of the dancer. This helped the artist to portray movement by extending everything outward from the figure. The colors of this work create a happy, optimistic mood mixed with blue, calming feelings creating contrast and variety....
