3rd Grade- Art inpsired by music

We discussed how the art and music of a particular culture relate to each other. We then listened to 5 songs found in our pop culture. While listening to the 30 second clip of each song, students drew lines of how they they thing the music sounded.

We then picked our 3 favorite  lines  to start the background of our project. Students continued to trace the lines with marker until the entire 9 x 12 inch paper was full of color. This part took about 2 class periods.

On the third class period, students create a piano key board and music notes and cut them out and glued them to their line paper.

The coolest thing about this project, is I was able to use Audioboo to record the songs and post a QR code of them on our bulletin board for viewers to listen to the songs we heard.
