Students will explore connections among sound, rhythm, pattern, line, shape, color, and mood; gather initial feedback; and learn how their GarageBand songs and foam-print album covers will serve a lower elementary audience.

Students will practice evidence-based listening and viewing, gather firsthand responses from classmates, lower elementary representatives, musicians, and visual artists, and synthesize their findings into an empathy map and audience-needs summary.

Students will turn audience evidence into a focused design brief, generate distinct audio-visual concepts, and build low-fidelity GarageBand and foam-print prototypes. They will test their prototypes with peers and community artists, complete two feedback-based iterations, and select an evidence-supported direction for refinement.

Students will refine their GarageBand songs and foam-print album covers through peer and expert critique, validate their design decisions with a representative audience member, and prepare an accessible Sound and Print Gallery for the final showcase.

Students will host a hallway Sound and Print Gallery for lower elementary classes, musicians, and visual artists, present their connected artwork and music, gather audience evidence, and reflect on their design journey.
