THE BAROQUE EXPEDITION - A SCHOOL PROJECT
Concerto Copenhagen and SMK offer a completely different educational program that combines music, visual arts and storytelling. Based on the museum's collection of art from the 17th century, the children work with professional musicians to develop new stories in words and music for selected works. The highlight is the final concert, where the musicians accompany the pupils' stories in the halls in front of the works. In addition to the students' contributions, Concerto Copenhagen plays small pieces from the 17th century on original instruments.
COURSE STRUCTURE
Part 1: The students are divided into 5 groups and each group is assigned a musical tour guide - a musician from Concerto Copenhagen. Together, students and musicians compose a short story about a selected image to music.
Lunch break
Part 2: After lunch there is a concert. The students perform their musical story together with all the musicians from Concerto Copenhagen. The musicians also play small pieces from the period for the students. The Baroque Expedition will thus tour SMK's collection with the students' own musical stories.
PREPARATION
Before the course, it's a good idea to have a short conversation with the students about the Baroque and the 17th-17th centuries. During the course itself, it is the students' own experiences of the works that form the framework for the discussions, but themes such as voyages of discovery, fancy parties, new imported goods etc. may be included. It is also an advantage to prepare the students for the fact that the course ends with an oral presentation of their stories and that there may be other museum visitors present in the room.
YOUR ROLE AS A TEACHER
You have divided the students into 5 groups beforehand. Each group works with one painting and one musician. Your role during the process is to go with the groups that may have difficulties with this kind of process and help the musicians if the work conversations do not work.
THE COURSE'S OVERALL LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Our goal with the program is to strengthen students' ability to express their imagination, emotions and experiences through music and visual art as an interpretive framework, and to allow students to occupy a public space as art communicators for a day.
COMMON GOALS / COMPETENCE GOALS & LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The course points to the competence goals for Danish after 2nd and 4th grade and supports that:
- The student can relate to familiar themes through conversation about literature and other aesthetic texts
- The student can relate to familiar themes in their own and others' lives through the study of literature and other aesthetic texts
Within the competence goals and curriculum for innovation and entrepreneurship, the course aims to support several of the target group's learning objectives, among others:
- That the students can play with images and narrative and put words to the universe of the artworks
- Students can express elements of a piece of music through play and dramatization and work in a joint creative process where art is related to the musical experience
STUDENTS HAVE PREVIOUSLY COMMENTED ON THE PROGRAM:
"The music makes the mood of the paintings clearer..."
"I feel like I get into the paintings. The paintings become more real."
"You see other things in the paintings when the music is playing."
"It's actually not boring when you spend time exploring the paintings."
"There are not only people in the paintings but also nature and animals..."
"The music changes - from quiet to faster and more dramatic."
"It's great that you want to play just for us!"
