We are... Connected Through Music

The theme for my Found Art project was music of the the 1970's-1990's. We choose this as our theme to show how music was influenced during that time period by what was going on throughout the country. We chose items that we felt represented our theme and showed how meaningful music can be, like quotes from popular artists and lyrics from some of the most influential songs. We also included old record covers, CD albums, and newspaper articles to represent how well known these artists were and the pictures associated with their influences. Obtaining our articles was probably the hardest part of this project, but we managed to get them through the internet and searching through our houses and our parents old music collections. If I were to re-do this project I probably would try to find more items that represent our bands besides just albums and quotes, but things like posters and T-shirts that were popular during that time period. For next years class doing this project my advice would be to start looking for items early on so you'll be more likely to have some great/rare finds.

  2. wow! that sounds like a super fun topic. :))))

    Musicians and singers have really good quotes. Music definitely reflects all the social and even economical problems or events of the time. And it relates to technology and a great deal of other topics.
