  Find Lesson Plans on! GettyGames    Date: Wed Jun 04 2003 -
14:45:26 PDT  I took a drawing course as a refresher for my
recertification, and the high school college art teacher played
soothing instrumentals kind of jazzy. In my elementary school, I
bought the classics on CD Mozart, Chopin, Bach from a local
music store at dirt cheap prices, and they hear little bits of
the greats while they draw or paint. I play my music every day
with every grade after I hand out their supplies and go through
the lesson.     After a while its expected and breaks up the
monotony. The kids love it and its part of the art experience. I
played Batman music instumentals from the cartoons on TV and it
was good for the fourth and fifth grade students, but not for
the little ones. They all wanted to dance instead of focusing on
their art work.
