Lesson Plan #2: Visual Expression (6th-5th Grade)

This art lesson was inspired by Moe Brooker, a Philadelphia based artist, who creates abstract expressionist paintings influenced by music. 6th and 5th graders explored the relationship between art and music by picking a song of their choice, specifically a song that is important to them or their favorite song at the moment. Students then created digital drawings, using colors, shapes, and lines, to visually express how their song makes them feel.
