A Musical Celebration of the Visual Arts by Mark Burrows introduces famous artists and their works with clever songs and classroom activities that combine drama, art, music, and movement.
From the Bo Diddley-esque title song to the boogie-woogie stylings of "What They Learned in School," these songs will become fast favorites.
In addition to reproducible biographies of all the featured artists, each song has at least two correlating activities: one offering students an opportunity to create original works of art based on the techniques of the great artists, and one music, drama, or movement activity designed to strengthen the connection between the performing and visual arts. All require very little setup and are designed for the non-art teacher.
Kit includes book, art reproductions, artists bios, styles timeline, reproducible songs, tips for a Gallery Night performance, and Enhanced CD with perf./accomp. tracks, PowerPoint, and PDFs. Gr. 4-7.
