His name is Gabriel Morris and he made this video of his trip to Gokarna, a small town in south India that is famous as a Hindu temple site. Look at the picture at the top. It's of the Mahabaleshwara Temple, which is the most famous in Gokarna. Here is where Gokarna is located in India:

How are you? In this post are two (2) things:
For one, the board notes for our class on 11/13,
and for another, some stylistic rules for writing titles of
works of art and pieces of music.
To begin with, at the top are
the main board notes. Below are the other notes:
Now let's look at how to write titles of artwork and pieces of music!
1. Names of artists, musicians, & musical groups
Names
of artists, singers,
and names of musicians (either their real or stage names) are written
naturally, with only the first
letters of their personal,and family, names in capital letters (大文字). For example:
claude
monetClaude Monet
Wolfgang
Amadeus mozartWolfgang Amadeus Mozart
KUSAMA
yayoiKusama Yayoi
taylor
SwiftTaylor Swift
Eric
claptonEric Clapton
SAKAMOTO
RyuichiSakamoto Ryuichi
Stage names or nicknames of musical artists,and names of musical groups, unless the artists state differently, also follow the same pattern. Lady Gaga Freddie Mercury Prince Aiko The Beatles (only at the beginning of sentences; when in sentences - theBeatles; same for any other bands with "the" as the beginning of their names) Queen Yellow Magic Orchestra Babymetal
2.
Titles of works of art & music
Titles
of paintings or sculptures are in italics, with
the most important words in a multi-word title with capitalized
first letters. For example:
Mona Lisa Girl with the Pearl Earrings The Thinker(only at the beginning of sentences; wheninsentences- theThinker;same for any other works of art with "the" as the beginning of their titles) Painting #1 Titles of pieces of music are a little more complicated. Complex works of classical music and jazz, such as symphonies, concertos, suites, tone poems, and operas, are in italics, in English or even from another language. For example: Symphony No. 9 Concerto for Flute and Violin Trois Gymnopédies Tristan und Isolde Rhapsody in Blue Porgy and Bess The Far Eastern Suite (see the note above about works of art with "the" in their titles - pieces of music follow the same pattern) However - titles of songs, especially popular songs, are in quotes (" "). For example: "Like a Rolling Stone" "Bohemian Rhapsody" "Gangnam Style" "Gimme Chocolate!!" But - titles of musical albums are in italics. For example: Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" was the biggest-selling single off their 1975 album A Night at the Opera. The Beatles' final album Abbey Road had some of their last great songs, such as "Come Together,""I Want You (She's So Heavy)," and "Here Comes the Sun," and the Beatles as a band ended their time together on a high point.
I hope these notes help you with the writing of names of artists, musicians, and bands, and titles of works of art and music. See you next week!
