WLHS Concert Band is learning a piece of music based on a Georgia O'Keeffe painting. High School Art Teacher Morgan Forbes visited the class today to teach them about the Elements of Art and the Principles of Design. Students made flip books with examples of each Element and Principle to help them as they analyze the ways that the composer incorporated elements of the painting into the concert band music. Very cool cross curricular activities!!
