Week of 10/19-10/23
Welcome to a new class and a new quarter!
Students will be learning about the Greek definition of beauty (order, pattern, symmetry, form). We will discuss that our modern ideas of beauty lean more toward what we can see with our eyes, rather than these ideals. Even in what we see with our eyes, the face has a certain symmetry. It has been a subject of study that persons that are widely considered beautiful have a great deal of symmetry in their appearance. So, perhaps, we lean on these Greek ideals more than we realize. This quarter we will learn that music has order, symmetry, balance, and form. All of these are ideals that the ancient Greeks used to define beauty. Our goal is to discover beauty this quarter.
Our first day of class we will discuss order in the classroom, students will receive a list of classroom rules and procedures to sign, and have their parent or guardian sign. We will then discover the order of a keyboard and look for the beauty in it.
