Is it art or is it an instrument?
It's both! After an introduction to the foundation of MaKey MaKey and Scratch in music class, the students continued their creative journey in visual art class. Each student was given the liberty to develop a 2D instrument portraying any theme/main idea that they desired. There were just two restrictions. One, the instrument could not look like an instrument. Two, they had to incorporate 5 paths of conductivity. The instrument was created using markers, colored pencils, crayons and Ebony graphite pencil as the conductive element. The final project was to look like a finished piece of art with the added benefit of being an instrument. Those students that finished early were given the opportunity to make a 3D sculptural instrument using everyone's favorite, Play-doh!
