Ocean Waves with Jill Giedt
Learning Target: I can see things around me, connect my observations to my thoughts and feelings, and then choose what to use as artistic inspiration.
Learning Summary: In this module, students will explore the connection between their emotions and the world around them through movement. They will learn to identify various emotions, such as happiness, sadness, anger, and calmness, and express these feelings by associating them with the waves of an ocean—gentle ripples, crashing waves, and calm seas.
