My New Instrument

My New Instrument

In New Works I was assigned the project of creating an instrument. The instrument that i created was based off of the Djembe which originated in Mali Africa. I used a piece of vinyl, a shoe lace, a clay pot, and Green, Yellow, and gold paint which are the colors of The Mali flag. I call the instrument an argillaforatatambro.

Last Class Period

Last class was very interesting, we had a detailed discussion about lines, and how lines are used in the different art forms. Three students acted as if they were professors and lectured us on the use of lines in dance, visual art, and music. To see the use of lines in theatre we watched a short improvisational skit performed my Micheal Orozco, Elizabeth Gietema, and Kennedy Porter. The skit was very funny and I enjoyed the class.

My Day in New Works

New Works is a very interesting class and has proved to be more of challenge then i expected, but i am really enjoying the class, and can't wait for Mr.Richards to get back.
