Creative Project - Art/Music/Dance

Firstly, look through the Slideshow of information and make notes about Gustav Holst and his composition called 'The Planets'.

Then please spend some time listening to The Planets by Gustav Holst via this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Isic2Z2e2xs&t=8s

The full video is about 49 minutes long. Focus on two planets at a time/per day.

After you have listened to the music, please complete these tasks:

- Choose one of ‘The Planets’ to listen to. Draw a picture of whatever comes into your mind as you listen to the music. Think about what colours you should use to best reflect the mood the music creates.

- After you have completed the artwork, listen to the music again or your favourite planet. When you have the feel of the music, compose a dance to reflect the mood that is created by the music (e.g. for Mars, re-enacting a battle situation; for Saturn, slow, shuffling movements to represent old age). Make sure you record this and share it on Classroom, or Twitter, if you feel comfortable enough to! Remember to use your dance skills from PE last term!

Good luck!
