Music and Art

My students never cease to amaze me! One of my favorite classes to teach is Multi Media Art, because the kids are so excited to learn the new technology of photoshop, excited about photography, and I'm constantly learning from them too! Yesterday, during our art critiques on their work inspired by the work of Warhol, one girl did a self portrait with the image of Taylor Swift on one part of the artwork, and images of hearts on the other. When we got to her work, she asked that we play a song on the ipod speakers of Taylor Swifts during her critique, and I was so amazed that the artwork was about the song and the song was about the artwork! WOW! Talk about getting more of the senses involved, I was so impressed!
