America the Beautiful! A music & art integration lesson in fourth grade.

Fourth Grade began their first unit – America The Beautiful.
Fourth grade is learning and singing America the Beautiful in Music Class.  In art we reiterated their studies and saw many visual examples of the lyrics
.


We started with a sketch in yellow paint.  We used only the Primary Colors to begin
 painting.  Our final step is to add detail with watercolor pencils.  This lesson integrated
their music studies, taught tons of color theory, and parts of composition.  We also
honed our watercolor skills.
