For all of my students, I am posting the winning cartoon characters that you chose today at your group lesson. Congratulations to Sarah and Michael for winning the art contest. I am so excited about posting the rest of the fabulous artwork at a later date! Please read the character description to help you compose your music motive.
To my teaching friends…this is a new composing project I am doing with my students. I will write more details as the project progresses. Stay tuned!
Character description:“My character is a European knight riding into battle.” –Michael
Character Description:
“Talon is not necessarily a vicious dragon, but he ferociously guards his large mounds of treasure. He owns a very special hourglass shaped necklace, his most prized possession which allows him to time travel. He spends mos of his free time traveling to the ancient past and the distant future and stealing valuable treasures and jewels; these he adds to his collection. If you try to steal any of his treasure, brag that you have more than he does, or make any comments that downplays his treasure, however, then beware: he will get revenge!” –Sarah
Really nice artwork. And really nice bait for us teachers. I’m hooked. Can’t wait to hear what you did.
These look great!! You have some artistic students! Looking forward to see what music goes with them! I like that the music is selected to go with artwork – so it’s not that one is better than the other as much as it fits the artwork better! No one has to be discouraged.
What a terrific idea, Wendy! I too look forward to hearing the music that your students create.
Excellent idea…these kids are so talented and clever! Would love to hear the music examples that go with them!
