ART

Set up a still life of different objects. Choose a theme or use random objects. What story could they tell?

1. Draw your basic shapes.
2. Look for where shapes overlap.
3. Draw the object closest to you first, and overlap to add objects farther behind.
4. Choose to add color in a realistic or imaginary way.

MUSIC

1. Go to the following link to learn all about sound. You can click on each picture to learn more about each section: https://www.dkfindout.com/us/science/sound/
2. Then follow this link to view a video called “Cymatics.” It is a really awesome video that shows some ways sound can actually be seen!  https://nigelstanford.com/Cymatics/
   *If you scroll down the page, you can see some behind the scenes moments.
3. Go to Chrome Music Lab and click on the sound waves section. Explore what high/low notes do to the sound waves. https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/Sound-Waves/
   What do you notice about how the sound waves move when you play the lowest note? The highest note? One in the middle?
4. Rhythm exploration:
   • Use a blank sheet of paper to write down these rhythms:
     • 
   • Look around your home and find objects that fit those rhythms (ex: “apple” fits two eighth notes, “coffee table” fits four sixteenth notes)
   • Are there any objects that you would need to combine two or more rhythms to make them work? (Ex: what combination would fit “tissue box?”)
   • Try different combinations of the words you found to create rhythm patterns!
