The teacher facilitates a discussion that includes locating the elements and principles of design that are found in the abstract collage. Lastly, the students work in small cooperative learning groups at the computer to alter the teacher's design with the program Adobe Photoshop. The teacher chooses the musical selection and plays it three times for the whole class to hear. This will give students a significant amount of time to sketch all of the patterns and vibrations they hear. Each student makes an abstract collage that relates to the musical selection.
Students work in cooperative learning groups.
Through the critiqueprocess, each group of students selects one collage from the table that best exemplifies the musical selection. Each group works together at the computer to scan and alter the selected image in 2 - 3 different ways. Each group plans a creative presentation to display their individual original collages as well as one computer altered image.
