| | I added a new element to Vivaldi's Fall Suite - at least for the older kids. I'm going to use that piece to discuss ways that music can affect what we see on TV and in the movies.
I made two slideshows to go with the the music - one is eerie, with graveyards and black cats and bats flying in dark skies. All the "scary" stuff I could get by with putting on a screen for a Christian school. Then I made a second slideshow that has beautiful Fall pictures - leaves drifting to the ground, roads covered with fall foliage, trees and hillsides abaze in color - that kind of thing.
When I played both of the slideshows back with the music included, they really did turn out well. I'm excited to do this with the kids and then have a Socratic seminar about what they saw and heard.
And I'm REALLY excited that the work is done already and ready to pull up for whatever week I end up doing the Fall stuff. |
