A Visualization based on ‘Winter Song’ by by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson

Today we listened to a beautiful song:

 

‘Winter Song’ by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson

This is what Matthew drew.

 

‘Winter Song’ was familiar to many of the students

because it is currently being used in an often repeated

advertisement on the television.

 

We studied the lyrics.

We used our imagination

and we sketched some pictures

that the lyrics put into our heads.

 

Then we took a look at a

wonderful animation on Vimeo

to inspire us even further.

Initially we used white chalk

on black sugar paper.

Then we added colour.

This is what we did:

 

These are the results:

A Word to the Wise:

Please don’t leave your child to explore Vimeo or Photopeach unattended  :)

The internet is a portal to the world outside. Children should be supervised.

‘The spatula is the commander!’

Teacher played us ‘March Past of the Kitchen Utensils’

by the English composer Vaughan Williams (1872-1958).

We drew the march as we imagined it.

Chloe drew the kitchen utensils looking strong, marching along with determination!

Ryan explained ‘The spatula is the commander!’

Patrick’s blender was a tank 🙂

You can see the work of the children who completed their pictures here on

PHOTOPEACH AS ALWAYS 🙂 Vaughan William’s piece is used as the sound

track on this slideshow.

 

Then we played along to the music using some kitchen utensils as percussion.
