Karl Wirsum, Screamin Jay Hawkins Shake, Rattle, and Roll Engage students in a discussion about the five senses. If you could touch the figures and forms in the painting (e.g. shapes on the left and right sides; Screamin Jays face, legs, hands, and armpits), how do you think they would feel? How did the artist create that sensation? Look at the painting and predict what Screamin Jay Hawkinss music sounds like. Ask students whether they would want to see him perform. Why or why not? Play samples of Screamin Jay Hawkinss music. Ask the students to move to the rhythm of the music. Does the musics rhythm match the boldness of the colors and shapes and the symmetrical design of the figure? Are the sounds in the music loud or soft? Does the rhythm repeat itself in equal time? Does the music make your body quiver like the image in the painting? Illinois Learning Standards: 25A, 25B |
