Learning Goals
Students will be able to investigate intended audience responses to music and artwork to understand how firsthand evidence reveals user needs and preferences.
Students will be able to analyze rhythm, pattern, tempo, line, shape, color, contrast, balance, repetition, and mood to understand how musical and visual elements communicate a connected experience.
Students will be able to ideate and prototype multiple GarageBand and foam-print concepts to understand how experimentation produces different solutions for an audience.
Students will be able to refine an original GarageBand song and complementary foam-print album cover to understand how critique, testing, and iteration improve artistic connections.
Students will be able to justify audio and visual design decisions to understand how artists communicate intent and respond empathetically to audience feedback.
Students will be able to collaborate on a curated Sound and Print Gallery to understand how shared decisions and defined roles create an accessible experience for lower elementary audiences.

Audience-Informed GarageBand Song and Foam-Print Album Cover Process Portfolio
Each student documents structured audience research, several audio-visual concepts, an original GarageBand song, a complementary foam-print album cover, and two rounds of revision. The portfolio includes feedback evidence, rubric assessments, and a designer statement tracing final decisions to audience needs.
Sound and Print Gallery Listening Experience and Stakeholder Presentation
Teams synthesize individual audience findings into a shared audience-need statement, then design, test, revise, and present an accessible hallway gallery featuring members’ songs and foam-print covers. Lower elementary visitors, musicians, and artists experience the exhibition and provide feedback on its audio-visual connections and visitor experience.
