#K12ArtChat is an #ArtsEd chat that happens every Thurs 8:30 pm CST founded by #TeamGrundler @ArtGuy76 & @GrundlerArt & share Ss' art on Fridays via #FabArtsFri.
Buy all the fancy equipment you want for your Makerspace, but if teachers do not emphasize the Maker Mentality that students and staff need to make the space grow and thrive, you have some wonderfully expensive dust collectors.
Middle School art in Plano. I listen to all music on pandora or I plug my phone in and use spotify. Jazz, Funk, Rock, Pop, Classical, Instrumental Hip hop, etc. #k12artchat
A1 Over 3000 vinyl albums in my house. Librarian & doom metal fan husband. I like listening to music & @onlyplaywizards tastes widen my horizons. #k12artchat
A1, love listening to music. helps me get any stress or emotions out. also helps me focus. there's also always something new to listen to and experience #K12ArtChat
A1: I enjoy listening to music at times. As a music teacher, sometimes the aesthetic experience is minimized when your brain starts analyzing the music. #k12artchat
A1 I LOVE listening to music! For as long as I can remember music has always been a part of my life. I listen to music 24/7. It's a form of communication that everybody can relate to. #k12artchat
A1 I love listening to music. Different music makes me feel different ways. Sometimes when I can’t get emotion right in my artwork I turn on music that I know makes me feel a certain way. Helps me get there! #K12ArtChat
I've been to Blind Guardian, Uncle Acid shows. Got engaged at Arthur Brown show (not metal but a precursor). Shocked at how much I like King Dude. And, really over the metal community snobbery over Myrkur (who I love). #k12artchat
A1: growing up, my parents & brothers listened to a variety of music. (Beach boys, Marvin Gaye, Beatles, KISS, Smiths & David Bowie) @smgaillard what about you? #K12ArtChat
A2 Music can serve as inspiration through sound and lyrics. It also can be another dimension to show examples of rhythm, balance, & pattern. #k12artchat
A2 Music is a #classroommanagement tool – incentive and soother/exciter. The type & tempo of music can calm, excite, &/or invigorate students. #k12artchat
It's all arts integration this month - next week @akoonlaba chats with us about using art to address speaking & listening standards See you 1/11 on #K12ArtChat#educationcloset
A2: Listening to music can energize, motivate or calm down students in class. Depends on the purpose and the type of music that we all listen to. #k12artchat
A2 Music helps students open up to specific emotions. Some Lyrics can trigger thoughts or feelings that they can relate to and can then express. #K12ArtChat
Q2: music is on almost every day in middle school classes. Classical for the younger Ss, they love the Pandora channel “classical goes pop” and try to guess the song. #K12ArtChat
A2: Listening to music is so calming for my students. Music allows them to find their zone! Sometimes we do sing alongs to strengthen our bond! #K12ArtChat
A2: my 1st Grs, started learning about the Harlem Renaissance & the start of Jazz. While listening to Jazz & Reading book Ellison the Elephant! #K12ArtChat
A3: still in my undergrad career. have had a few English professors play music that goes with the appropriate work of literature we're exploring. really helps understanding middle and old english texts #K12ArtChat
#k12artchat A2 when I taught Elementary I found rock music was a calming rather than classical. I figured it was what their parents listened to at home.
I did this all the time when I was still in the classroom loved finding the type of popular music that the artist might have been listening too #K12ArtChat
A3 I play music recordings, but I also have a kalimbe and a dulcimer in my room. Sometimes I play those for something different. I use the kalumbe to get them to calm quite often. #K12ArtChat
For sure! @ThieveryCorpDC for usual days. Jazz for Harlem Renaissance, contemporary classical composers fo the artist we are learning about, and any type of cultural traditional music that ties to our studies. #k12artchat
A3 I still sing line up songs to my fifth graders. I’ve even let them turn my line up song into a hip hop version. I let He kids sing songs from their grade level plays as they work. That’s fun...to hear them all singing the same song. #K12ArtChat
A2: my 1st Grs, started learning about the Harlem Renaissance & the start of Jazz. While listening to Jazz & Reading book Ellison the Elephant! #K12ArtChat
A3 Fav music incentive is Old School R&B Fridays. 4 days of good behavior=cranked music on Fri. No nearby classrooms. Blast the classroom surround sound! Too loud to argue or fight. They can only listen & work! #k12artchat#k12artchat
A3 I have a lesson that focuses on how megaphones were created to amplify sound. The Ss study the RUUP group that made wooden amplifiers to capture natural sounds and the science behind the shapes. The Ss then make a pinch pot cellphone speaker. #k12artchat
A4 classroom management could be an issue with using music in the classroom...must set up proper expectations about what’s going to take place and how the students will handle it beforehand #K12ArtChat
I play instrumental hip hop in class (chillhop) on YouTube. The students think it’s cool and I don’t have to deal with questionable lyrics and it’s great for concentration #K12ArtChat
Especially when our singing is so natural that they not only see the talent in us but our limitations as well. This has been a powerful tool for me in both classroom and instrumental ensembles. Imagine reaching the pitch of an instrument! #vulnerability#k12artchat
A4 I think if the music gets too loud Ss try to talk louder than the music. It becomes a competition of what is more important. Some days we don't listen to music because it's just added noise or the Ss can't handle it. #K12ArtChat
A4: student requests. Ugggh. I don’t do it. And even with filters in place, sometimes an unfiltered song creeps through. I’ll know it when the middle school kids look sideways at each other and then I change the channel. Oops. #K12ArtChat
You haven't lived til you see middle schoolers jumping up to groove to Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On." I tried to change the station, but the damage was done They sung it acapella. #k12artchat
A5 Building music instruments, using music notes for colors/shapes, to show artist inspo, to reiterate themes of artwork, show music and visual art that are contemporary to one another, & show similar themes in different media #k12artchat
A5: music as transition between activities. incorporating it as a relevant part of literature, art, history, and science. activities that draw on music for outcome #K12ArtChat
I create playlists for different class projects, from jazz to electronic to folk, #music can help set the mood, energy level & pace when making art! #K12ArtChat
A5: In 8th grade, we do a “musical chairs” style art critique. Ss dance around the room and when the music stops, they critique the artwork in front of them. It’s weird and fun and some of them really let loose! The critiques are more spontaneous too! #k12artchat

#k12artchat a5 I give prizes to cleanest table on fridays and one kids ALWAYS picks the 'gets to pick the music to play in class' prize! ("Its the clean version Ms Wardley!") They LOVE that
I'm experimenting now with pairing simple #art & #music therapy techniques together in class to incorporate social emotional learning techniques in lessons #k12artchat
A6: as a future educator, got a lot of good tips on how to incorporate active listening into the classroom & how to classroom manage while doing so. thank you @eliza_peterson & #K12ArtChat
A5: ask your music teacher for any old/broken/unused instruments! Makes for a challenging still life! Did it with 4th grade and we tore up old sheet music to add to the art. #k12artchat
That is how it all came together! I was playing around with several different ways to approach. Realized I had different lessons that could all be woven together w/ @HamiltonMusical characters #K12ArtChat
In reply to
@eliza_peterson, @HamiltonMusical, @HamiltonMusical
Merging design & music is always fun too, @littleBits & apps like @Keezy are great way to start with students (or adults-I was having fun @iste!) #k12artchat
Almost forgot! The band A-ha played at my high school during their first tour in 1986. My students love hearing the story of me getting pulled up on stage! They love singing along to ...
