9th Grade Fine Arts (1.0 cr)

NWAC: Advanced Artists: While we explore the artists and techniques of the Impressionist period, students will be encouraged to find their unique, creative voice. We will work with a wide range of mediums including pastel, printmaking, scratchboard, watercolor and acrylic paint. As often as possible, we will work en plein air (in the open air)—just as the Impressionists did. (Ages 11-15) 

SVEC: Beginning Fiddle: Each week students will learn a new fiddle tune. They will be introduced to note reading, music theory along with the history & culture of American fiddle music throughout the year.

SVEC: Beginning Irish Dance: Vocabulary and elements of dance, principles of choreography.

Music: Sound of Music, Making Music, Famous Musicians

Doodle music: A visual and musical expression of mathematical symmetry groups. The transformations done to the video are equivalent to the transformations done to the notes. These type of repeating patterns are called frieze patterns. A couple wallpaper groups are also represented.


What is up with noises? (The science and mathematics of sound, frequency, and pitch): Accuracy not guaranteed. Get Audacity and play! http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Correction: it is the "Basilar" membrane, which is what I say, but somehow between recording the script and actually drawing the stuff I got confused and thought I just pronounced my Vs poorly. Always sad to have such a simple and glaring error in something I put hundreds of hours of work into, but a "Vasilar" membrane can be the kind that a Vi draws to explain Viola Vibrations, I guess! Making up new words is just so prolightfully awstastic. Props to my Bro for excellent and creative swing pushing, and to my Mamma for filming it. Extra special thanks to my generous donators, without whom I would not have been able to create this video. Because of your support, I have the equipment, time, and take-out Thai food necessary for doing stuff like this.
