[MUSIC PLAYING] JULIA BRENNAN: In part eight, we're exploring the relationship between poetry and music. So this one is a little bit similar to the last one, in that the students will be creating a graphic notation score. But instead of working on their own and doing it in a [? grid, ?] they've got freedom to do it however they'd like. So they could do it in groups, or they could do it individually as well. Some schools might choose to do a big mural on the wall.

It's entirely up to you and your situation how you'd like to go about doing this one. There's also flexibility to make the decision of whether you use something, such as a poem, as stimulus, or whether you create your artwork to become a musical score first and use that as inspiration. So you can look at it either way.

In the resource, we've got a poem there which is based on the four seasons. Now, we learned about the four seasons when we were talking about Vivaldi earlier, and we examined the Spring. So this poem is based on that. Now, you can use that for inspiration as well to create an artwork that then becomes a musical score, or you don't have to use it at all, or you could choose a different poem, if you'd like.

There's lots of flexibility in there. The idea of this part of the resource is that you create an artwork or a musical composition and use those two simultaneously. And if you want to use the stimulus of a poem or something similar, that's also a great way to do it.
