Hearts, Hands & Voices ProjectGrade 5 2011

This unit has been designed to coordinate your participation and what you have learned

in music and art class, as well as in the homeroom. The purpose of this unit is to explore the

concept of expression through music, art and written language.

We will be studying FOUR movements in art, which consist ofPop, Cubism, Abstractart, and Impressionism. You will be exposed to all four movements and learn the principlesbehind each one. Then you will research a movement that you particularly enjoy and create an

original piece, in art class, based on the same style or perhaps on a particular artist.

The following are examples of artists from each type of movement:

Pop art ~ Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, James Rosenquist, Wayn Thiebaud, Claus

Oldenburg and Robert Indiana.

Abstract art ~ Jackson Pollock, Franz Kilne, Willem de Kooning, Adoph Gottlieb,

Mark Rothko, Helen Frankenthaler, Wassily Kandinsky, Barnett Newman and FrankStella.

Cubism art ~ Cezanne, Picasso, Braque, Gris, Delaunay, Leger, Duchamps and

Mondriaan

Impressionism art ~ Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir, Manet, Pissarro

Once you have selected the artistic movement and have begun your original piece, you

are to choose a piece of music that represents the style. In order to choose your piece of musicyou will need to justify your selection in a proposal, using the following language as part of

your reasoning: form, rhythm and melody.

Finally, you will need to create a short written piece that describes the kind of emotions

you are trying to evoke in your art and music selections. This can take on many forms, and can

include a descriptive paragraph or a poem.

Once you have completed all three components of this project, you will make a short

presentation to the class. In this presentation you will need to share the information about the

art movement and perhaps the artist you based your work on, you will play the piece of musicfor the class and explain why this piece represents this movement, and then you will read your

written composition inspired by the piece.

Proposals Due: Friday May 27th

Presentations: Friday June 10th
