As a musician I have been thinking about how to incorporate music into the art classroom besides just having it play in the background. The candy lesson plan was a great idea to use lyrics from a song to create a piece of artwork. Every student knows the lyrics to at least one song, and almost all have a favorite that they probably have on their ipod or have at least heard on youtube or the radio.
Allowing students to use their own favorite music is a great way to incorporate something relevant and important to them in a lesson plan. Not only could students create meaning from the lyrics of the songs, but they could also look into using sound waves from a song or even someone's voice within their artwork.
Music videos are something I consider an art form (when they're appropriate.) Here are a few of my favorites. Perhaps students could create lip sync versions of stop motion or just regular music videos
