by Edna Johnson.
- discover contrasts in the painting "Improvisation
31 (Sea Battle)" by
Wassily Kandinsky
- discover contrasts in "The Waltz"
using correct terminology.
-list some contrasts of "The Lilac Fairy"
using correct terminology.
Preliminary Procedure
The teacher will ask students to brainstorm some
synonyms of the word different. "If
no student suggests contrast, ask if they have
ever been asked to compare and
contrast something and if so, what they did.
A brief discussion will follow about the meaning
of differences. Ask the students for some
examples of what things are different. Tell students
that they will be looking at some
different forms of Art and will find contrasts
in them.
Procedure
I. The teacher will read the poem "Trucks.
When finished, ask students what contrasts there were in the poem.
(Big/little trucks)
2. show the reproduction of the painting . Ask
students what contrast they found in the painting. (shapes/lines,
colors)
3. Play the recording of the Waltz. Ask students
what contrasts they found in the music. (dynamics piano/forte,
tempo)
4. Ask students to
write down contrasts they hear while listening
to the recording of The Lilac Fairy. (tempo, dynamics piano/fort*
timbre instrumentation)
5. Pass out materials (paper, marker, crayons).
Instruct students to create something on their paper that contrasts.
The students can write or draw something that contrasts. The only
requirement is for their creation to demonstrate a contrast.
6. Ask for some volunteers to share their work
and explain what the contrast is.
7. Ask for a volunteer to explain what contrast
means.
Evaluation
Understanding of the concept on the part of the
student can be determined from class
discussion and their creations and the end of
lesson.
FollowUp:
The students can find contrasts in other pieces
of art.
Teachable Element of Music
Classical music can be used for many lessons.
The Lilac fairy is especially good in talking
about the different sounds instruments make and
would be good compared to Jazz.
The Waltz, is of course, a good example to use
when talking about 5/4 time.
The
dynamics and tempo of both of these pieces could
be expanded on. Or the music
could be used as an example of Tchaikovsky s work.
