Sound Art: Creating a Lesson Plan & Refreshing Concepts





How The Sound Effects In 'A Quiet Place' Were Made | Movies Insider


 LESSON PLANS
-----------------------------------

Group Members: Alyssa, Michaela, Megan

Title: 
Making Sounds

Educational Goal: 
By the end of this lesson students should be able to understand sound and make meaning of sound outside of this music.

Objective: Students learn how to make a 30 second sound segment using at least 3 different found objects to make sound.

Content: 
In class, students will view a video on sound art then they will he instructed to use their found objects to make a 30 second sound segment.

Assessment: 
Students will be graded on their sound segments based on the amount of objects they use and the effort they put into making it.

Title: 
Nature and Music

Goal:  
Students will be encouraged to interact with nature through music.

Objective: 
Students will learn how to create music using 5 different objects found in nature.

Content: 
Students will do this by putting together a variety of found objects (1 per student), and create a rhythm with these that will last at least 20 seconds.

Feedback: 
This activity taught us how to teach a lesson because we had to establish an objective for the students. We had to decide what was going to be the end goal of the activity and how it would be measured. We provided guidelines such as students working in a group to find objects in nature that can create individual sounds. These sounds would then be played together for at least 20 seconds in order to establish a rhythm.

Title: 
Sounds

Goal:
Get students to use creativity with objects and work together to make sounds.

Objective:
The students will learn how to create sounds by combining three-four different items that are readily available to them.

Content - we made a rhythm out of four different objects that all sound different when separate but when our together make a new sound.

Assessment:
Have students use at least 4 items to create sounds, if they do not use at least 4 items, take 10 points off of their grade.

Materials: Ring, book, pen, and keys

Title: 
Rhythm Using Sounds

Objective: 
Students will learn how to create rhythm using sounds from 5 objects collected from home.

Lesson Content: 
The lesson would be to bring in an object from home that creates a unique sound. Using that object we can create a group song. We can experiment changing tempo, speeds, and even the different sounds you can make with that one object. The collected sounds would be combined to show the students what actually be done by using only objects from home. This will help to expand their creative minds, surprise them and hopefully inspire them.

Assessment: Students will at least use 5 objects to create five different sounds.

Title: 
Telent Music Show

Objective: 
The students will learn how to make use of five objects beyond their definite/ everyday use by creating a specific sound that fits to their perception.

Content: 
We used different objects from all aspects of life you wouldn’t originally use together but since we aren’t defining what “sound” and music is and the beat made sense it is a fun activity. We would have a “talent music show” with just sounds they can make from music they can find on the classroom. Teaches confidence and creativity, learn about sounds. Students will be able to make sounds with everyday objects and have a deeper thinking about sound and how its made.

Assessment: 
Students would need to come together with five different objects and create a rhythm/ sound that suits their rhythmic mind.

Materials: 
Straw, keys, and pens.

 Title: 
From Sound to Silence

 Objective: Students will learn how to collect six different sounds from the environment and record them to create a contrast between sound and silence.

 Content: 

 Student will identify the following sounds: 
  1. Go to water fountain
  2. Bushes
  3. Metal Tapping
  4. Sandals Sliding on the ground
  5. Machine engine
  6. Door opening and closing

Students will go outside and walk around to be able to find these different sounds. This activity may help students realize if they like to listen to sounds while learning about the environment and silence.

 Assessment:

 Students would need to come together with six different identifiable objects and create six sounds followed by silence.

 Materials:

 water, nature, metal, sandals, machine engine, door

Photography: Shape, Line, Texture, Pattern and Deasign

Image
Design: Shape  is everywhere. It is often the first thing you see when you look at a scene, whether you are consciously aware of it or not. In art (and  photography ),  shape  is one of the six classic design elements, which also includes line, form, texture, color and space. Lines  can significantly increase the impact of images.  Lines  serve to affect photographic composition in two ways. First, they serve to create a mood. Second, they lead the eye through the  photograph . Texture depends on magnification. So, zooming into a surface that appears insignificant at first can reveal unsuspected textures. Pattern  is a powerful way to bring attention to repeated shapes. If the frame is inundated with the same repeated shape one may be able to create a powerful statement.

Conceptual Art: Ana Mendieta's Merging with Nature

Image
CONCEPTUAL ART Conceptual art, sometimes simply called conceptualism, is art in which the concept or idea involved in the work take precedence over traditional aesthetic, technical, and material concerns. In other words, it is art in  which the idea presented by the artist is considered more important than the finished product, if there is one. ANA MENDIETA ------------------------ Students' Nature Art Sushi's Day Off A domesticated animal is exploring wilderness for the first time. He chose this tree and jumped up on it, not as dog, but in the way a person would. The piece represents the way modern societies attribute human qualities to animals, specifically pets, denying them the possibility to interact with nature. (Alyssa, Cydney, Amy, Chloe, Cervinho) ----------------------------- Strength The small aerial roots - which look small but are actually strong - all serve a purpose, which is to support the greater good the tree repre

Artificial Intelligence "To learn, according to the Merriam Webster's Dictionary, is  to gain knowledge or understanding of or skill in by study, instruction or experience. This is different; however, than psychology of learning theory. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, learning theory is a relatively permanent change in the behavioral potentiality that occurs as a result of reinforced practice."
