The Power of Art

Good afternoon all,

I am at home so you are in the capable hands of Mr. Fazzolari. Today I would like you to put on your head phones, find a small sample of your current favorite song and answer these questions: How does this song make you feel? (Happy, sad, calm, energized, hyped, etc.) What would be other examples of music that makes you feel these ways? Finally, is there music that makes you feel smarter?  Why?

Have some samples ready to share!

Have a good day and I hope to see you Friday.

Mr. V.
