PM. Ecosonic Music & Sustainable Art
This is what building the EcoSonic World Music Mobile is all about! One way to reduce, reuse and recycle is to create art! Art is an important method of self-expression and re-using materials to create art, and music can be a statement in itself.
We will learn about the music and cultures of indigenous people around the world.
We will use found items (at home and in-camp) to create instruments that might be used in each land.
We will then construct our own EcoSonic Mobile, where we will build and design our own economic instruments.
