Found Sound

A found sound is an instrument that is not usually used as an instrument. For example, this video shows  two girls using a piece of recycling for percussion. Think it's easy? We'll try it today.

September Goals

Hello and welcome back!

I am so excited to see you all again and get started in Fine Arts. We will be spending the first week catching up, thinking about our time together, and setting some goals for the year. To help you think about "reaching for the stars" in Fine Arts, I am going to ask each student to:

1. Trace your arm
2. Fill up your arm with your Fine Arts hopes and dreams for the year. What do you want to do this year in Drama, Dance, and Music? You might write words or sentences, draw pictures and cartoons, use music symbols - it's up to you.
3. Ink your arm with colours or Sharpies.
4. Cut out your arm.


I will post all of your arms on the wall in the Fine Arts room and, at the end of the year, we can see if we met our goals.
