So last night I went to a concert at the Pyramid Scheme and saw The Protomen. After an evening of amazing times I woke up and thought about how their particular brand of music (rock opera) tells a story and can paint a very vivid picture in the imagination of the listeners. Now that thought got me thinking on how music could be a key component in an art making lesson.
It starts with showing off a selection of work for the students and then having them choose one and pick an appropriate song that fits with the work. The student will explain why, because that's important, and then we'll move on to the main part.
The student will choose a song that they enjoy, aiming for a song that holds a narrative, and generate a piece of art that illustrates that song. Now I think the visual component of the piece can be opened up into photo collage, painting, and illustration. I think a 3 dimensional work would be awesome to see but I want to focus on having some limitations with something as open as depictions of songs.
So I'm going to think about how to make that into a full fledged lesson plan and how to incorporate FEAR into that. I'm going to leave you with a song The Protomen performed last night and I rocked out to.
