iTHINK Magazine - Issue 6

In this issue

This time around, we are all about the arts.

The arts is synonymous with creativity, what with its different artistic expressions of artwork, dance, music, theatre and language. The arts is also, as you will read, a powerful reflection of the cultures and lifestyles of the people from all over the world. Even the first understanding of the lifestyle of early man was derived from cave paintings.

Despite apparent differences between artistic expressions of different countries, if you were to look a little deeper, you will realise that the South Indian Bharatanatyam dance and the Spanish Flamenco may just have a thing or two in common. The question of whether Asia would be able to match up to the West one day in the vibrancy of the arts scene is also something that you would ponder with us.

From Mozart’s soothing classical music to Elvis’s get-up-and-dance rock ‘n’ roll to 50 cents’ rhythmic-beat rap, learn about the evolution of music over time. Read also about how the English language has evolved over time as an interesting story awaits you about power play and its impact on the culture and language of people. Speaking of language, you will read about the rags-to-riches writer behind the magic in the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling.

And in Wanderlust this issue, our travel writer takes you to La Isla De Pascua, or Easter Island, a deserted land that holds a mystical story to tell.

Enjoy the read.
