Our 7th and 8th graders are currently working on their music projects for this year.
The 7th graders have been assigned a composer from either the Baroque, Classical, or Romantic era of music. They are to research the lives of their composers and write a short research paper on what they learn. The paper will include facts about the composers' personal lives, as well as their musical backgrounds, famous works, etc. Along with the paper, they will be creating colorful and creative posters to about their composers to present to the class. You will be able to see these posters on Fine Arts Night in the Spring.
The 8th grade are currently working on an interdisciplinary project that spans the subjects of English, Art, and Music. The students have selected a painting and are required to create a one-page short story on their painting. They have been encouraged to be as creative as they want! They will also be selecting 3 different pieces of instrumental music to accompany different parts of their stories, in order to convey a certain mood or emotion. Some of the stories will be selected to be presented at Fine Arts Night in the Spring.
