    Imaginative Arts Apprentice Week 6: April 28, 2022

History of Painting

Study/Learn

DO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:

• Review all the notecards from the whole year - don't forget the music.
  
• Choose 5 of the notecards that really speak to you and learn about the painter/sculptor/architect/musician and anything you can about the art/building/music.  Take notes about what you learn in your commonplace book.  Let your interests guide you and jump into learning in the style that fits you best.  
• Figure out what your best learning style is by taking 2 of the following tests:
• Education Planner
• How to Study
• Learning Style Quiz (scroll down on the results page for the pie chart)
• This week is the end of year VanBuck STORE!!!  Yay!  So bring all of your Vanbucks and be ready for a spending spree during lunch.  Please text Sis. Cloward how many Vanbucks you have so that we can adjust the economy accordingly.  

Know/Understand

Choose your favorite piece of art from the notecards this year and really dive into learning about it. 
Why was it painted?  Where is it today?  What did people think of it at the time it was painted?  What do people think about it today?  Why is it considered a classic?  How did the artist feel when he/she was painting it? Why does it speak to you? Etc.  

Then come up with a creative way to represent the piece of art for the class.  Really dig deep into your talents and hobbies and skills.  The sky is the limit on this project, so get creative.  

Bring whatever you created to class to show.  If it's too big to bring, take a picture or video of it.  (But don't use this as a cop-out.  I want to see the real thing if at all possible.)

Become/Serve

Read this talk - Christ at Bethesda's Pool - about Pres. Monson's experience viewing a beautiful piece of art.  Does art affect you this way?  Have you ever learned from art?  Pres. Monson also teaches us through poetry and music.  How do those elements in his talk speak to us as the listeners?  How much richer is his talk because he included art, music and poetry?  How much richer is your life when you include those things?  Make a goal to include more of the arts in your life this summer and write down three ways that you will do it.

Imaginative Arts Apprentice Week 4: April 14, 2022 Music

History of Music

Study/Learn

DO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:

1. 
   Watch this video about the History of Music.  Take notes in your common place book and bring them to class.
2. Classical music is good for your brain.  Listen to Mozart or Beethoven while you do your homework this week.
3. Study the notecards labeled "4" and STUDY THE MUSIC NOTECARDS FROM ALL YEAR REALLY WELL.  

Know/Understand

CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING and as you're choosing the music to work with for your project, it can be from any time and place, just please keep it appropriate: 

1 - Become a composer.  

Write and be prepared to perform your song in Vanguard.  It must be at least 2 minutes long.  

If you use instruments other then a piano that won't travel, (like a drum set or organ) video yourself performing your new piece of music and post it on the Vanguard YouTube channel and we'll watch it in class (a violin, guitar, or ukulele will travel okay.)   You can write lyrics to your song, but the main part needs to be instrumental.  

If you don't play a typical instrument and still want to compose, figure something out.  Teach yourself how to play the spoons or hit pots and pans with spoons to create an instrument.    

2 - Interpret the music through dance.

Put together an interpretive dance (at least 2 minutes long)  And come prepared to dance it in class.  You can get together with a sibling or friend for this project.

3 - Interpret the music through art.

Listen to a piece of music with your eyes closed and feel and "see" the music.  Then listen to it again as you paint or draw a visual representation of what you hear.  Do a good job on this - spend at least 30 minutes on your artwork.  

4 - Interpret the music through food.

Listen to a piece of music with your eyes closed and feel and "see" the music.  Then design some kind of food that represents what you feel and see and bring it to class, enough for everyone to try some and be prepared to talk about how your food represents the music.

Become/Serve

Read/watch this General Conference talk called Inspired Music - Worthy Thoughts.  Print it out and mark it and find principles you can bring to class to discuss.  

Evaluate your choices of music.  How uplifting are they?  What can you do to choose better?  Set a goal to upgrade your music choices this week.
