When the students document these thoughts, we are often delighted with the results. In “Painting to the Beat,” 9th grader Sydney M. uses a series of photos to document the creative process she utilized during the development of her Art exam.

I decided Strawberry Swing by Pique Studios, Jazz Cityscape by Debra Hurd, Early Birds by Kirsten Bailey, and Vibrant Masai Mara Sunset best fit my idea of what the song would look like.
Then, I did a couple practice drawings of what I could potentially draw and even practiced my sunset creation skills.
Finally I started painting…
…and eventually finished my piece of art!
