(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Very Easy of Arts

You know that the arts are very special and each person can feel something different when looking at a painting, listening to music, or watching a dance. For example, a painting of a rainbow can make us think of joy and hope. Now, think about your own painting or drawing. What do you want people to feel or think when they look at your art? Explain what your art could mean to different people.

João and Maria are learning about rhythm and melody in their Art class. They have discovered that the games of 'Tug of War' and 'Hot Potato' can help understand these musical concepts. By pulling the rope in 'Tug of War', the children realize that the force exerted and the rhythm of the pulls can be compared to a music, where intensity and tempo are essential. In the game of 'Hot Potato', where a hot potato is passed from hand to hand until the music stops, they notice that the speed at which the potato is passed resembles the concept of melody, which is the succession of sounds organized at different pitches. Considering these games, explain how João and Maria can apply the principles of rhythm and melody during a round of 'Hot Potato' to create a 'music' with the game's rules. Think about how the variation in speed and the organization of passing the potato can represent musical elements and describe a 'music measure' based on this adaptation of the traditional game.

Imagine that you and your friends are playing in a music band at school. You have various instruments such as drums, flutes, and even objects that are not musical instruments but make different sounds. Describe how you would use these instruments and objects to create a song. What sounds would each one make? How would you organize the rhythms and melodies? Remember, there are no right or wrong answers, we just want to hear your creative ideas!

When we clap or sing, we are producing sounds with our body. Now, think about the different types of sounds we can make using our hands and mouth. Additionally, some people can also play musical instruments or create music by drumming on boxes and drums with their hands. Therefore, based on what you have learned about sound sources and experimenting with making different sounds with your body, describe a game that you could invent using the sounds your body is capable of producing. What would this game be like? What rules and objectives would you include for children to have fun and learn about sounds and rhythm at the same time? Explain in detail.
