Video lesson
Get yourself ready with some paper and a pencil in front of your device, ready to watch the video. Play the video and undertake the listening and drawing activities as instructed. You can always pause and replay each activity if you want to hear it again.
Art activity
At the end of the video you will have created a ‘graphic notation’ of the music that Sharon played. A graphic notation is simply a written down version of the sounds, using lines and symbols. Your task is to turn this graphic notation into a beautiful artwork.
Take your pencil drawing and add different colours or different types of line thickness using coloured pencils, textas, crayons, paint or whatever art supplied you have. When you are finished you could create a frame out of a piece of cardboard to put around your artwork.
Visit this web page to see some examples of other graphic notations that are very colourful.
