Art activity

	This is a really well-known painting by Van Gogh of his bedroom. He has used really thick paint but you can use whatever materials you can find at home.   This website has a high resolution image where you can look at it ‘up-close’ http://art-vangogh.com/image/Saint%20Remy%20(1889-90)/52%20Vincent%20s%20Bedroom%20in%20Arles.jpg
Can you make a drawing or painting of your room? Include as much detail as possible. Use a range of lines to ‘describe’ all the different materials.

Music activity

Today’s music is looking at a new music making program, Busy Beats. The best way to learn about it is to play with it... but there are also help videos.  If you click on the "Launch Help Videos" button shown below, there will appear a menu, watch INTRODUCTION and PLAYING WITH TEXTURES to get you started and then have an experiment.
Can you change the tempo? What happens if you move the ripplers? What are in all the menus along the top?
If you want to watch more help videos you find them in the top right corner of the screen, next to the red arrow.

Enjoy. This is a great tool for making music and we will be using it when we all return to school.
