(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Easy of Arts

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.

We all like different things, and often this also happens when we talk about drawings, paintings, or sculptures. Visual arts can make us think about various things, such as joy, sadness, love, or even about the place where we live. Have you ever drawn or painted something that made you remember something special or made you feel very happy? Tell me what you created and why it is important or special to you. I also want to know what you think other people might feel or think when they see what you created.

When we make an audiovisual recording, we are saving a moment or a story to be able to see and hear again in the future. This could be a video of a birthday party, a musical performance at school, or even an animated drawing that we created. With that in mind, and considering the things we have learned about music and visual arts, describe a situation where you think it is important to make an audiovisual recording and explain why this recording is significant.

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!
