Visual Arts Activities The Color Wheel Gather items in bright, solid colors from around your home, assemble them into the circular color wheel order Challenge (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet). Snap a pic and share your creation on social media using the hashtag (4th-8th) #colorwheelchallenge. For an additional challenge, complete a FULL color wheel by adding the tertiary colors (yellow-orange, red-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, and red-violet). Automatic Drawing With 2 or more people, grab a sheet of paper and fold it into 3-4 equal sections. Have one person start drawing (3rd-8th) in the top section (Don’t let anyone else see!). Afterward, fold the paper (or cover it up) so that the next drawer can only see a couple of guiding lines for what the previous person has drawn. Repeat this process until everyone has drawn and each section is filled. Unfold to reveal the entire drawing! Paper Telephone This game involves drawing and writing. Start with a piece of paper and a pencil and write a sentence (any (3rd-8th) sentence will work!). Then, pass the paper to the next person. They draw what the sentence says. When they’re done, fold over the original sentence so it’s not visible and just the drawing remains. Give the paper to someone else, who writes a sentence about the drawing. Repeat this sequence until the paper is full, and then unfold to see the results! Blind Contour Drawing A blind contour drawing is a sketch that is completed while only looking at your subject (no peeking!) and keeping (6th-8th) your pencil/pen on the paper. For added amusement, find a partner and draw the same subject at the same time. Compare artworks afterward! Blindfold Drawing Following the instructions of a partner, the drawer must complete a drawing while blindfolded. For an added (3rd-8th) challenge, have the person describing the subject utilize only directional, shape, and line type directions (for example: up/down/left/right, circle/square/triangle, and straight/curved/wavy/zig-zag). Texture Guessing Game Place different objects in an opaque bag. Take turns placing your hand in the bag, grab an object and then drawing (PK-2nd) a picture of what you think the object is. For a twist on this game, place your hand in the bag and grab an object (but don’t look at it) and then try finding a different object from your house or outside that has a similar texture. Shadow Tracing Place an object (toy animals work great!) at the edge of a piece of paper so that it casts a shadow on the paper and (PK-3rd) then trace the shadow with your pencil (it’s that simple!). Add details to your tracing. For added challenge, trace the object at different times of day or with multiple light sources from different angles and compare the results. Sketchbook/Drawing Use one of the following prompts to guide the creation of a drawing: 1) Draw a portrait of yourself from 20 years Prompts in the future, 2) Draw an animal playing a musical instrument, 3) Draw a creature that is a combination of at least 3 (PK-8th) different animals, 4) Draw each step in the preparation of your favorite food, 5) Draw an egg (this is harder than it sounds!), 6) Draw your interpretation of an emotion, 7) Draw an illustration of your favorite song lyrics, 8) Draw an illustration of the last dream that you had, 9) Draw your favorite character from a book, 10) Draw a self- portrait while looking in the mirror, 11) Draw the same object 3 days in a row, 12) Draw a sink full of dirty dishes before and after they get washed.

  • Dan Wells, in Musical Form
    Partials Playlist Dan Wells, in Musical Form The characters in Partials live in the ruins of the world you and I leave behind, eleven years after a devastating plague wipes out 99.9% of the human race. They scavenge through the old, empty stores and houses to find things they need, like clothes and canned food, and one of the characters, a girl named Xochi, collects music players—iPods, Zunes, and so on. This is one of my favorite little quirks of the novel because a music player is so much more than a song or an album: It’s a record of who you are, reflected through your music. It’s a little piece of your personality that survives the plague and reaches out to future generations. So this got me thinking: If somebody found my music player in the wreckage of the old world, what would it say about me? I’d love to just plop my entire iPod up here for you to listen to, but it’s several gigs and way too big. What I can do, though, is create a little mini musical portrait of myself—a representative playlist to show you who I am and what I’m about. I’ve painfully narrowed it down to fifteen songs, and here they are: 1. “Everlong” by the Foo Fighters We might a well start at the top: “Everlong” is my very favorite song. I also have an acoustic version, which I listened to constantly while writing my first published novel (a supernatural thriller called I Am Not a Serial Killer), but the standard version is just as awesome and that’s the one I’ve included here.

Wendell Hannah, Ph.D. Professor of Music Education AMERICA IN SONG Spiro Nickolao Tsingaris San Francisco, CA 2018 The objective of this music history course is to educate my students as to how the people from around the world came here and expressed their unique experience through song. As America is made up of immigrants from around the world, it is understandable that our music reflects this diversity. Likewise as we are a nation just starting out, we can document our growing pains, struggles, changing attitudes and civic morality through the music and lyrics found in our songs. This course will focus on music around the turn of the 20th century, as this was the time of discovering our National Musical sound, as well as the time of greatest civic change and unrest. American nationalism and American music will be thoroughly discussed and analyzed, as well as the many differing types of vocal music, such as African American Spirituals, Folk Songs, Choral Works and Gospel Music.

Painstaking crafts- space, Countryman has recorded manship of both music and lyrics is what numerous albums over the past Dana is all about. To him, the song is every- decade-plus. thing. And it shows. The following interview was conducted long-distance, with me in Phoenix, Arizo- na, and Dana in his home studio in Everett, Washington, a suburb of Seattle. But it’s as intimate as if we were casually conversing in the same room. I do need to provide one disclaimer. I am the co-writer of one of the songs on Dana’s new album: “Then She Smiles.” But this in no way affects my journalistic objec- tivity regarding Dana. Even if you never listened to this one particular song, his new album would still be amazing. (Of course, I do hope you listen to all the tracks, because they are all worthy of your attention). (As an aside, I was quite honored when Dana asked me to work with him on the lyrics to his song. And I couldn’t be happi- er with the way the song turned out). So, Dana, tell me: what is “Vocal Retro Pop” all about, photo by Frank M.

    Vocal Music Virtual Learning 8th Grade Choir Vocal Technique Guided Practice May 20, 2020 8th Grade Choir Lesson: May 20, 2020 Objective/Learning Target: To learn and perform 3 simple songs that can be performed while practicing good vocal technique. Warm-Up Activity Find a recording of your favorite song on YouTube, and sing along to the song. As you sing, practice taking deep breaths before each phrase: 1. Your mouth and throat are open 2. Your shoulders and collarbones are set and not moving 3. Your ribs expand outward as you feel your diaphragm open up the bottom half of your lungs 2nd Warm-Up Activity Find a recording of your favorite song on YouTube, and sing along to the song. As you sing, practice maximizing your resonating chambers: 1. Your throat is open and relaxed 2. Your jaw is dropped low and you are making space in your mouth 3. You are focusing your sound through the “mask” in your face Practicing good vocal technique Yesterday we reviewed some of the fundamental concepts to singing with good technique. Today, we are going to attempt to put those ideas into practice. We are going to learn 3 simple songs (you may already know them!) that we can use as tools to practice our fundamentals of singing. Good Literature Have you ever tried to sing along to your favorite song on the radio, and found that by the end your voice was really tired? Or maybe you don’t feel like you can sing one section of the song because it goes too high or too low? Music on the radio is sung by professionals, who often have quite a bit of training and experience.
