The 5th period Art students, grades 6th-7th, had a great experience today at Freeport Middle School. Mr. Greg Sauer from FSU played the cello for all of us to hear. This visit is a part of our "Music in Pictures" project sponsored by the Rosemary Beach Foundation. The students practiced visualizing sound with imagery, colors, and feelings. Fun was had by all!
