Rhythm, pattern, color, and texture in art and poetry
In this lesson, students will discover the meaning of "rhythm," "patterns," "color," and "texture" through the performance and modeled analysis of a class "symphony." Students will also evaluate the impact of each element on the whole work and note personal reactions and connections to this art form.

At the end of the lesson, students will reflect on ways these two experiences are similar.
