Imaginative Arts Apprentice Week 4: April 14, 2022
History of Music
Study/Learn
DO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:
- Watch this video about the History of Music. Take notes in your common place book and bring them to class.
- Classical music is good for your brain. Listen to Mozart or Beethoven while you do your homework this week.
- 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.Become/Serve

Imaginative Arts JOURNEYMAN Week 3 April 7
WHAT TO DO IN CLASS:
Your job this week is to run through the scene from “Comedy or Errors” in class.
Plan to run through the scene 2-3 times, or as time allows.
HOMEWORK:
1. Before Thursday PLEASE WATCH this overview of the play. . .it’s less than 10 minutes.
BONUS: You can EARN one VanBuck for each time you watch the video. You can earn up to $10.
Please don’t feel like you have to be glued to the screen, you can listen to it while you do other things. I just want you to get REALLY familiar with the story.
(I’ll be out of town this week so keep track of how many times you watch the overview and I will get you your $$$ when I return.)
2. Do a character study. THE ASSIGNMENT: Write a one page paper OR Draw a picture, OR something else. Be creative!
Have some fun and create a back story for your character. Think of what they would wear, their age, their job, etc.
Here is a video to give you some ideas, use some or all of the things you learn in the video,
Don’t feel pressure to do EVERYTHING from the video, but see if there are a few ideas that sound fun and work on those.
THAT’S ALL! Have fun!
