To make this poster by hand:

1. Cut a piano shape out of black poster board and lay it down on white poster board leaving enough room to add piano keys at the bottom with poster markers.
2. Fill in the black space with large cut outs of music notes.
3. Cut out a square of paper and write "Ludwig van Beethoven" and "12-16-1770 - 03-26-1827" with poster markers. Color over the entire square with a colored pencil and accent your writing with jumbo glitter glue. Set the square down in the top left corner of the poster.
4. Lay your information out on top of the music notes.
5. Going down the right side of the poster, use black quick letters to follow the shape of the piano. Cut around this.
6. Glue everything down.
