§ Has any of the arts ever moved you in any way? How? Music and movies have definitely moved me. Movies and music can both be inspirational but in different ways. In order to be moved by music you have to listen closely to the words, and many times interpret what the artist is trying to say through the lyrics. Movies can move you if you listen to the actors and actresses, as well as watch what goes on and look for things between the lines.
§ What inspires you? Children inspire me everyday. Children seem to always put me in a positive mood and make me smile when I am having a bad day. They always find a way to laugh and that inspires me to be the same way.

For example, movies and television involve acting which is definitely a form of art. Music is a form of art because of the performance that is involved. Comics and video games are also art because they involve drawings.

§ When you debate music or movies with your friends, what critical elements or standards do you hold them to?The element of music that I believe is the most important is the lyrics. The words in a song can move a person completely. The element of a movie that I feel is most important is the plot of the movie. This determines whether or not I am going to watch the movie as well as if it is something that is going to keep my interest or not.
