Work Of Art: The Crashing Wave By Carol Sheli Cantrell
 Why This Work of Art?..
The reason I picked this artwork is because I loved the
textures that it has. I envisioned the kids finger painting
their own waves and learning about the different
directions of the waves.
 Movement/Music Activity
- Learning Objective: The students will use different shades of blue ribbon and dance in
a circle to the sounds and video of waves and use the ribbon to recreate the rippling
motion of a wave.
- Materiels: Ribbon, Music, Wave sounds
- Prompt/Instruction: Have the children stand in a circle on the carpet as I play the
sounds of the waves I will tell the children to move the scarves in the way that they
hear it on the screen. After I will show videos of crashing waves and have them act out
with the videos with their scarves the motion of the waves.
