Students
in 5th Grade Music Class study the Baroque Era. As part of the
study, they learn about the composer, Johann Sebastian Bach as well as
George Frederic Handel. They research artists, sculptors,
architecture, antiques, etc. from the Baroque Era. They develop
their own viewpoints and feelings toward the styles that existed in the
Baroque Era.
Using Mrs. Voigt's web site and laptops, they discover a variety of
photos they can use to create a collage--each collage made becomes a
reflection of the newly developing
tastes of our 5th grade students. They show their appreciation
for art and architecture by choosing paintings that please them when
creating their collage.
Many students became so engrossed in this project, they extended this
lesson into their recess-time!
