(Hopefully you get that) I’ve been waiting for the 80s!! -Both M’s Madonna and Micheal Jackson, Billie Jean is one of those songs that gets stuck in my head and never gets out, but most of all, MJ has all the talents, the dances moves, the looks and his voice is seriously out of the world, a game changer forever, we lost him too soon -Speaking of Madonna though, she is still alive and well at 64 y/o, Material Girl is definitely one of those songs that never gets old -Changed the game absolutely for the rest of the world -Hit songs take on me, everybody wants to rule the world and we are one, beautiful songs that now wrap up all of the 80s memories -If you weren’t walking around with a Walkman..

Hopewell Valley Student Podcasting Network Music: *Grateful Dead, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones etc. Debut in the 60s becoming dime of the most worldwide famous names/bands to ever exist Explaining Grateful Dead song “Ripple”: The more relaxing song Ripple has many verses to it that can be interpreted to your listening, what I interpret from it personally, is how everyone has their path in life and having the joy of others around you can help but don’t always rely on those when the true person you are is yourself, not anyone else. The band itself seems to promote peace and love through their music and shows that as a message to the audience or to listeners Song “Breath in the air” by Pink Floyd: is one another interesting song, maybe more easy to decipher with the lyrics saying “Long you live and high you fly, Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry, And all you touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be” In the end, it’s symbolizing pure life and how we should appreciate it. woodstock 60’s festival A peace filled weekend and music turns out to be a remarkable event of the 60s, even if it was more or less a disaster, but through huge crowds, bad weather and poor conditions, there was no violence or outbursts, just peace and enjoyment Fashion: https://www.centralcasting.com/how-create-authentic-60s-look/Appreciating clothing is just as important. Bell Bottoms, Tie Dye, corduroy pants, flower patches and fun designs. It kind of sounds like today's fashion trends, from “flared jeans” to patches on pants, this didn’t just appear out of the blue, practically everything is just an old trend being rekindled. More or less, this is around where the “hippies” era started, but it’s really in its golden days in the 70s, if you’re curious about that just hold on and that’ll be coming your way soon. Art: https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/p/pop-artToo cool not to talk about.. Pop art! I'm sure you’ve heard of Andy Warhol, famous for his stand out colorful works of art, especially the Marilyn Monroe piece. Pop art was very untraditional.. to traditional art. Yes, abstract was a thing., but pop art is on a different level, very unique but too much to process for some. Pop art is eye candy. Very mesmerizing and fun to look at. It was taking other works of art and combining it into your own, sort of like collaging, the start to what continues today.

Processing the Past 1920's

Hopewell Valley Student Podcasting Network Show Name: Processing the PastEpisode Title: 1920sHey everyone! You are listening to processing the past! the podcast with your host Izzy. The Great Gatsby '', Segment 1: Music.https://www.familysearch.org/en/blog/1920s-radio-music-americaFirstly music in the 20s, around this time, along with music obviously, radios actually started becoming popular, and Radios did much more than just produce sound, along with entertainment it actually helped to gather the nation and became a passing time for many families in the U.S., the roaring twenties was a time of jazz and the era mainly of the blues, as well as dance bands. The artist of this era, a very popular name that's been passed down through generations is.. "Louis Armstrong!" His classic song and personally my favorite, What a wonderful world is a wonderful tune which has been shown in various movies and shows as well. He is definitely an unforgettable musician and will always be "The king of Jazz". Although maybe not as popular as Mr. Armstrong, the Charleston Chasers were a pretty popular band that had amazing rhythm and were very catchy as Jazz music was in its prime. https://www.1920s-fashion-and-music.com/1920s-musicians.html Segment 2: Fashion.Flapper dresses, elegant clothing to style but also to work and live with. 20s fashion, a very classic style, with women wearing the famous cloche hats that covered the entirety of the forehead were very popular at this time. They were innovating fashion mainly for women and as I said, comfort and functionality was a big deal. The Victorian era was over, it was time for something new. Nightclubs and going out called for fun and flashy clothing like simple dresses with fun patterns it Segment 3: ArtMusic is a form of art, but now we're talking about the visual kind. Surrealism, Cubism and Dadism were big in the 20s, His name is still mentioned for all the art he has put out into the world. One of his abstract pieces. One other famous artist may not be a worldwide name like Picasso but Renee Margritte was outstanding for his Surrealist art paintings and pieces. There's so much to look at and feel very satisfying and even unsettling. he painted "The son of a Man '' or maybe you recognize it by the standing man with a Green Apple covering his face. Far more unsettling than Margritte, So, Jazz and abstract art honestly goes pretty far back. I hope you had a fun time Processing the past with me. and Sit tight for the next episode coming soon where we're jumping on up to the 1930s. Bye!

Hopewell Valley Student Podcasting Network Show Name: Processing the pastEpisode Title: 1930sSegment 1: Music https://www.retrowaste.com/1930s/music-in-the-1930s/Jazz was already popular but now swing was introduced became nationally popular mid 30s even a very popular movie, a classic I must say was released in the 30s. "Over the rainbow" By Judy Garland who plays Dorothy and in the Wizard of Oz is the signature song of the movie and still heard today, this was definitely the song of the century as others claim the same thing. Segment 2: FashionWe spoke about fancy yet simple dresses that were easy to dance and walk in during the 20s. The 30s may not be so different but there is always improvement and new styles. Celebrities did influence the clothing of this time including Shirley Temple, Jean Harlow and Clark Gable who were famous for being on screen. Last decade dresses and women clothing were more boyish and cut short but now revolving back to the more feminine look with longer dresses and silky evening dresses had come to steal the show Segment 3: ArtMr. Picasso was still quite popular in the 30s as well but actually released one of my favorite paintings of his called "Cruxifixion" which is a bright colored abstract painting which would be really cool to hang up in your room. Georgia O'Keefe was starting to get the spotlight for her famous skull pieces that were inspired by actual skulls she had seen and observed in the desert and in nature. Her flower paintings were phenomenal as well. They have such an interesting color palette and I have also recreated some of her work in the past so I have looked up to her since I was younger. Thank you so much for those of you listening and if you've found my talk about the decades interesting, stay tuned for the next episode! You're listening to Isabella on Processing the past.

Processing the Past 1940’s

Hopewell Valley Student Podcasting NetworkProcessing the Past 1940’s*introduction/recap* Hey guys, it's your host Isabella BACK with another episode for you. Again a quick recap we talked about the 1930s last episode where we talked about artist Georgia O'keefe More about Jazz and Swing along with fashion trends during that time. Segment 1: Music(still in spooky season) Getting right into it. During this time a tune still popular today, a Christmas song that goes way back, by Bing Crosby, featured in a classic christmas movie Home Alone, you might have guessed it but, White Christmas was released in 1942Bing was in his 50s when he sang this song but he has a very smooth calming voice I could fall asleep to, his song already gets me stoked for the Holiday season coming up soon, This one song sparked many other musicians and singers to do covers of it and even Micheal Buble' sang a cover of this song which gained a lot of popularity as wellBing did sing other songs but seemed to mainly gain popularity from his Holiday tunes. Even famous artist David Bowie sang Little Drum Together but this was later in his career.Jazz and Swing are still huge but youll see that in the upcoming decades that it will slowly become less popular as other genres arise Segment 2: Fashion https://www.marieclaire.co.uk/fashion/1940s-fashion-the-decade-captured-in-40-incredible-pictures-108160The 1940s was pretty darn stylish, just like the past decades but as time passes trends come and go and evolve into new fashion stylesUnfortunately, WW2 started in 1939 moving right on into the 40s But because of the war some clothing did have a more sophisticated look feeling more serious or even military like it could have been consideredKind of like the 20s clothing were more casual and comfortable, but maybe a little more casual than the 20s.Shirtwaist Dresses were extremely popular and were buttoned up like a shirt but with a waist length skirt.I did say Processing the past would be different than history class but maybe you learned about the Triangle Shirtwaist factory and the fire that occured, where yes, they made shirtwaist dresses. Segment 3: Art https://www.theartstory.org/definition/american-art/If youve been listening to my podcast the words Cubism and Surrealism have showed up more than once.. It's only going to get mentioned even more from here considering that those genres of art are still popular and used just as much as the 20s and 30s.But Abstract Expressionism was an art movement that was established in the beginnings of 1940s by Jackson Pollock, another artist whose work Ive also attempted to replicate or have been inspired off of in the past.Even though it looks like a toddler couldve made those art pieces just by splattering a bunch of different color paints on a Canvas it's more about showing off and expressing emotions and channeling them or displaying them for others to see and interpret, some can even feel the emotions through anothers painting.I did not mention it last episode during the 1930s talk but "American Gothic" The painting of the farmers one holding the pitchfork, the artist being Grant Wood who also continued to make art during this era of Abstract Expressionism Music Credits: List the artist and song namea href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yucVoi1Z2tQ" rel="noopener noreferrer"...

Welcome to processing the past, where we will be talking about history but not the typical classroom kind, you'll be expecting me to talk about, pop culture, music, art and fashion but I'll be going all the way back in time 100 years ago to talk about the 1920s then the 30s and so on. We'll be following the next decades leading us up until now the 21st century. It will be made more visible how all the fads and now obsolete materials and items have come back into play as the years go on and it will be intriguing to notice how music, fashion and art have all been impacted now and how we are influenced by it because of the past and how recurring styles and fads come back again. Trends they come and they go, but are always going to be part of our history.
