Pianissimo (Debussy’s Claire De Lune) : This group used very careful and intentional brush strokes for their painting. The softness of the piano allowed the kiddos to concentrate and create very specific paintings.
Allegro (Rimsky- Korsikov’s Flight of the Bumblebee): In this painting, the kiddos listened to how fast the music was playing and then created using large and hard brush strokes. This painting looked more abstract.
Adagio (Adagio in G Minor): In this group, the kiddos listened to and relaxed to the music. They created with lazy and peaceful brush strokes on their paper.
Each of the murals the kiddos painted looked extremely different. It was interesting to see how the music influenced each of their painting styles and creativity.
