Album Notes

"Rappin' Clappin' Singin' 'bout Art" Volume II

This is the second CD in a series that helps your students learn about famous artists by rapping and singing! This CD has songs about Henri Rousseau, Henri Matisse, Leonardo da Vinci, and more. This CD also includes a song about rules and procedures in the classroom. Students will love singing this song over and over again. I start off each class with "These are the Rules" song to help children behave. The Lyric Booklet of Songs and Raps comes with the CD and has all of the words to rap and sing along.

School & Church Art Theatre Productions, created by Sharon Luanne Rivera, aims at creating music, plays, and rhyming raps to help in the learning of things taught in the classroom.

Teaching art in Nashville, TN, since 1998, Sharon started setting her art appreciation lessons to music. She had already written and recorded a few gospel albums in Pennsylvania and Tennessee. She decided to use that music and put new words to it to help her students learn important things about art and artists. It really helped her children remember the facts, and they really enjoyed singing and doing the raps!

Sharon went back into the studio with her original tracks and recorded them as art educational songs. Sharon is also considering expanding the subjects and themes of her songs to include History, Science, Health, Music, values, and rules.

* In addition to the Educational Products, Sharon's original Christian CD's are also available. She continues writing songs about her joys and sorrows, triumphs and tragedies and everyday experiences of being a mother, a teacher and a wife.
