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 17th-century art, children work with professional musicians to develop new narratives in words and music for selected works. The highlight is the final concert, where the musicians accompany the students' 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: Students are divided into 5 groups and each group is assigned a musical tour guide - a musician from Concerto Copenhagen. Together, students and musicians write a short story about a selected image set 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 is a good idea to have a short conversation with the students about the Baroque and the 17th-17th centuries. During the course, the students' own experiences of the works 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 students for the fact that the course ends with an oral presentation of their stories and that other museum visitors may be 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 difficulty with this type of process and help the musicians if the work conversations don't work.
OVERALL LEARNING OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE
Our goal 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 enter a public space as art mediators for a day.
COMMON GOALS / COMPETENCY GOALS & LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The course points to the competency goals for Danish after grades 2 and 4 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 competency goals and the innovation and entrepreneurship curriculum, the course aims to support several of the target group's learning objectives, among others:
- That students can play with images and narrative and put words to the universe of works of art
- The 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'm getting into the pictures. The pictures 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're playing just for us!"
