Room For Improvement
Writing is a fundamental subject, and I want to incorporate it across our curriculum as a go-to skill. Until recently, though, I have overlooked writing as an integral part of art and music.
In an effort to remedy this deficit, I have come up with a couple ideas to utilize journals, and over at the MRC Fan Page you will find additional links.
Art Journal Activities
1. Writing in Reverse: Reinforce the ideas of painting pictures with words and conjuring images while reading.
Without using words...
- Draw a story or comic strip
- Draw thoughts, emotions
- Draw images of meaningful experiences
2. The Art of Lettering: Make handwriting fun by getting creative.
- Explore the timeline of writing utensils and create new tools.
- Design your own lettering.
- Learn calligraphy.
Music Journal Activities
1. Write to the Music: Listen to a variety of music and write the thoughts each evokes.
2. Take Notes: Record favorite songs, lyrics, musicians, styles of music, etc.
Class Discussion
Do you have any suggestions for integrating writing into our art and music curriculum?
Happy Homeschooling!
