All three areas can be used to help children develop understandings of patterns and feelings. Music can make people feel different emotions, as can a drawing or painting.
Music can also inspire movement and drawings.
Teacher's Role During the activity, talk about the music, how it makes you feel, and how it makes you want to move. If some of the children begin to swing their arms back and forth, mimic that movement and talk about it. Some children may be too shy to begin the action, so the teacher may have to start the movement. Encourage others to think of different movements. Provide different types of music and encourage the children to draw with the music.
