Building an Appreciation of Art and Music

We all know that the arts has received short shrift in all too many schools over the years.  There are so many ways to learn to appreciate art and music that you could literally do different things every single year, I think. 

Our art and music appreciation time over the years seldom involved any sort of formalized study and did look at least somewhat different every year.  I thought I'd give you a snapshot of one year, and have just randomly picked third grade, since I have that notebook out right now.

I happen to live in a somewhat smaller city and we have had a lot of access to theatre here over the years.  Many of our theatres offer school day performance rates that are about half the rate for regular theatre goers.  They have generally welcomed homeschoolers to join other school groups for these performances, so we have been lucky in that regard.

Here's what we did, generally by month:

August/September:

My son was into coloring during this particular year.  It was one of the only years that he ever wanted to color.  He would color the pages that went along with our Story of the World reading while I read to him.  I also had some Dover and Bellepheron books and he colored some pictures from those to add to his history notebook, as well.  He did this all year.

We read parts of A History of Britain Through Art, Jillian Powell.

Made large tissue flowers for geography class (studying Mexico, I believe....)

My son worked on a Kentucky scrapbook through most of the fall semester, for a co-op class that I taught.  We also had some field trips to various Kentucky locales to go along with the class.

He also was in a 4-H Horseless Horse Club for fall and worked on a scrapbook for that.

We read Echoes of the Elders and enjoyed the beautiful artwork of Chief Lelooska.

 

We attended a production of "Aesop's Fables" at our local children's theatre.

We also attended a production of "Huck Finn" in the same month.

We saw a production called "Kentucky Adventure," which was an interactive play at Fort Harrod (part of our Kentucky history class).

My son took piano and guitar lessons throughout fall.  He was preparing for a winter get together and his winter piano recital.  Piano was thirty minutes, once weekly.  Guitar was 45 minutes, once weekly.

Began year long theatre class at co-op.

October:

Attended a flower arranging class for Junior Master Gardener's at the arboretum.

Saw interpreter at Raven Run speaking about early settlers and the role of surveyors (also for KY history class)....

Made a flower arrangement for our home.

Looked at beautiful paintings in the book Children of China.  (These books generally went along with the history period we were studying at the time....)




Made a paper butterfly - pattern from the book Made in China.

  (I *think* this was the book....)


Saw a musical version of "Paul Revere."

Made a leaf collection scrapbook at arboretum, then walked the scarecrow trail (local people compete for most interesting scarecrow designs).

Read about some of the world's great composers of the 1700's (Germany/Austria).

Focus on Tchiakofsky for piano studio students this fall.

Symphony demonstration and "petting zoo" during theatre class at co-op one day.

November:

Saw Offrenda display in connection with "Dia de Los Muertos" ballet performance.

Saw and had an opportunity to speak with re-enactors at Old Salem and Bathabara Communities in Winston/Salem, NC.

Saw beautiful German made toys at the Toy Museum in Old Salem; also, beautiful examples of riflery, pottery and embroidery.

Listened to "Mr. Bach Comes to Call."




Listened to "Hallelujah Handel."




December:

Saw "A Christmas Carol" at the Opera House.

Saw a musical version of "The Shoemaker and the Elves."

Played piano at winter fest for co-op.

Played in piano recital.

January:

Continuing piano and guitar lessons.

Began art class at co-op.

Saw musical "Freedom Train" performance.

Saw "Rikki, Tikki, Tavi" at children's theatre.

February:

Saw "Anansi the Spider" at children's theatre.

Attended two Valentine's parties.

Continued art class and music lessons.

Visited Jack Jouett House (part of KY history).

Saw IMAX movie "Hurricane on the Bayou."

Celebrated Mardi Gras at home.

Went to Louisville to read for Young Authors and toured newspaper operations while there.

March:

Attended Harry Potter Camp at the Cincinnati Zoo.

Had a pirate birthday party!

Continued art class and music lessons.

Saw musical version of "Bridge to Terebithia" at children's theatre.  Wow - this was really a year for musicals, wasn't it?

Played a game about artists and their work.  (Have no idea now what this was....)

April:

Art class ends.

Music lessons continue.

Year-long "theatre class" at co-op finally really kicks into gear and the kids get serious about practicing their parts, etc. as the play date looms....  Play rehearsals intensify and become all-consuming....

There is a rehearsal dinner prior to the first performance and a cast party after it is all over.  It really does take up a LOT of time during this month.  Our production was a musical version of "The Secret Garden."

May:

Saw "A Year With Frog and Toad" (and it was a fantastic production - so glad we went, just for old times sake, since we love their books....)  AND, YOU GUESSED IT - IT WAS A MUSICAL!

Attended first wedding reception and danced the night away!

Visited wonderful artisan galleries in Amana, Iowa.  My son loved the copper sculpture studio.

Attended "Alebrijes!" ballet and viewed alebrijes artwork display from Oaxaca, Mexico.

Finished up coloring for history and geography sections of notebook.

Guitar lessons end.  Piano continues over summer.

Every year is so different!  If I pulled the fourth grade elements of art and music you would get a very different picture.  This was obviously the year of the musical....

Our Work for Week 11 - 2011....

~  My son completed Pilgrim's Progress this week and is finishing up the analysis work that his teacher assigned to go along with the reading of Part II of the book.  I believe they are beginning Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde next week - appropriate for Halloween, I think, and as a go along with the mysteries we've been reading at home....

~  He read more Poe at home and we attended our local children's theatre today for a terrific production that encompassed a number of Poe's stories/poems, and also gave insight into the tregedies in his life that influenced his writing....

~  He finished reading The Man Without a Country.  He'll read more Poe through Halloween, then we'll switch to O. Henry's stories....

~  In history, I finally finished up reading Andrew Johnson: Rebuilding a Nation, Cathy Dubowski:




It was a good juxtaposition against "The Birth of a Nation" film that we viewed earlier. 

We also read more on certain battles that he had an interest in from Scholastic's The Encyclopedia of the United States at War:

On Wednesday, we spent half the day at Camp Nelson, visiting with one of the best Frederick Douglass re-enactors in the country.  We got to see a nice film about the encampment and tour their new interpretive center, as well as the officers' quarters building, an old farmhouse (which has always been there).  Camp Nelson was the primary location where slaves came to join the Union army.  Many of their families followed and there were numerous problems that arose from this.  It was as a result of one of the purges in cold weather, when over 100 women and children died, that the U.S. agreed to free all that came into the camps and provide them with adequate housing.  We're going back out tomorrow night for a ghost walk....

http://www.spiritoffrederickdouglass.com/bio_crutcher.htm

I finally got to move into the next time period (although there is always some overlap), breaching the time period of the 20th century by reading from the Usborne Illustrated Atlas of the 20th Century and Time-Life's 20th Century America:

            

I also began reading The Yanks are Coming, by Albert Marrin:

He caught up with his reading in Volume 8 of History of US.  We'll be adding in additional readings next week.  Now that chemistry lab is finally ended, we'll have an additional 3 hours a week to cover history and lit, so I hope we'll be back on track shortly!

~  Everything else is running smoothly.  He completed his last lesson in Latin Primer III today, so he'll be wrapping up tests and moving into the grammar book next week. 

~  He completed another calaca for Dia de los Muertos.  This started because we have a local ballet company whose director hails from an area in Mexico where this celebration is very large.  She wrote a ballet that centers around this celebration and we attended it a couple of different years.  They arranged to have locals set up various altars that are used during this celebration so that visitors could get a better idea of the culture. 

I bought a couple of little wooden skeletons at Michael's a few years ago and we had never painted them.  I had glow in the dark paint to use, but we had just never gotten around to using them.  My son got interested in using Sharpie's in myriad colors to do artwork.  When I finally pulled out one of the skeletons last year, we brainstormed and he decided to decorate it as a calaca.  He did a "girl."  It was so cute, but we never had time to do another, so he just completed the "boy" to go with it.  They are so happy and upbeat.  I much prefer them to all the scary, gory things that our culture promotes during this season of the year. 

(I didn't have the heart to mention to him that "mortes" is feminine....)

I'm not glorifying death (except as it leads to eternal life), mind you, just looking for a less gruesome way to get through this season with a boy....  (The Halloween concert last weekend was actually very cute, too!)

Wow, that skeleton became disarticulated quickly, LOL!

Now we turn around three times and it's Christmas....

Art Class!

More on Art Resources....

I failed to mention the details on a couple of the resources I listed for our art study.  The Art Paks I mention, especially toward the end of the study, are Art Activity Packs by Mila Boutan, Chronicle Books.  I believe I obtained mine from Rainbow Resource Center, although they are available elsewhere, as well:



These include art activity suggestions and many of them include a poster.  They suggest coloring it, but we have used these to experiment with painting in the style of the artists.


I am also using a Barron's publication from their Famous Artists series to end the year.  Miro, by Nicholas Ross is the book I'm using, but many of the books in this series are done by Antony Mason.  Jen Green and Andrew Hughes are other authors in the series....  These books include not only history and a lot of pictures, but also a lot of project suggestions in the style of the artist.

The Month-by-Month Masterpieces book is by Bobbi Chertok, Goody Hirshfeld, and Marilyn Rosh, Scholastic Publishing.  It comes with large, full color posters of 10 works of art (on 5 pages, double-sided).

A brief bio is given of each artist, study questions regarding their work of art are provided for discussion purposes, and then there is a suggested project in the style of the artist.

Art History Curriculum Resources....

Here are some resources for an Art History study that I've been working on for either next year or ninth grade.  I have also created a notebook of questions, terms, etc. for each week and will happily provide that to anyone who might be interested, as I'm not sure that I can post it here.  Just comment here if you'd like that info and provide me with your email.  I won't post it for others to see. 

This study could also easily be used with other middle school aged children, either with or without the writing component....

Updated as of December 28, 2011.  Updates in bold red.
