Scratch Instrument - New Works

In the past few weeks of New Works we've been doing multiple activities to learn about rhythm. After an introduction we were instructed to create instruments from scratch. The instrument had to create a sustainable pitch and be creative in appearance.
So...
Creative idea - Check
Instrument - Not Check
I honed in on my visual arts skills, grabbed the top of a box, a spiral notebook, paper, and colored pencils.
Bam original scrapper instrument like in the old hillbilly days.

It was a great experience to see everyones creations and show off my own!

Space Projects - New Works

Another lovely project in New Works about Space. Let me go ahead and state that mine was lame. Now that we've established that...The best project I thought was Meg's. She did this awesome stop motion video with all sorts of crazy stuff like a dinosaur, a barbie doll, smurfs, and a small play house. Somehow she managed to use all of the materials and more to describe the different types of space and make it work. All the elements were great and it was super creative. Loved it!
