Week of May 4-8, 2020
Music Class
Last week, we began talking about Peter and the Wolf, by Sergei Prokofiev. I hope that you all had a chance to listen to the story of Peter and the Wolf. As we move forward, please listen to the short history of Peter and the Wolf by clicking HERE.
At the bottom of this page, you will find a movie for Peter and the Wolf. Please watch the movie (it is 25 minutes). After you watch the movie, please write a paragraph of 5 sentences that tells how the story was different using music. For example, you might discuss the use of each character's unique theme song, or the way the music affected the tone of the specific scene. Also, please answer the following question: After listening to the history of Peter and the Wolf, how does Prokofiev use instruments to give personality to his characters? (For example, are there any specific sounds that give you ideas into the characters mood/personality/ideas?) If possible, please cite the video or history in order to support your answer.

Art Class
Since we are well into the season of Spring, let's take some time to draw a flower! For this project you will need paper and a pencil. This will be a pencil sketch. In a sketch, you will use lines of varying lengths and shades in order to reach your goal. Before you draw anything, please watch the entire video. After you watch the video, please begin your sketch. As you sketch, please pause the video as you need. Please do not try to draw and watch at the same time. The shading for this sketch is minimal and is completed by using a pencil to add lines of varying lengths. One helpful hint, while shading and adding your shadow, tilt your pencil to the side to increase the width of the lines that you create. Please take your time with the sketch.
