I suppose it is pretty much like the existance of Rosie and Jim...(the cats DA or the puppets)- the communian of art and music has begun and it is exciting.
DRAWING TO MUSIC: responding to Music, Sound, Expression and Emotion
Day 1: Tasks and Challenges to free up your mind and pre-supposed ideas about what drawing is and could be
Day 2: Responding independently and collaborately to music through different media: paint, chalk, charcoal and collage- noting on sounds, emotions, the visually abstract and the literal (graphic scores)
** Choose your own piece of music, respond in your own way, think about the reason, purpose and intention of the visual art piece/pieces
Day 3: Share your own ideas and opinions about the art work created and the music listened to- think about how these two ideas and 'forms' work together and have the potential to be pushed and challenged.
Day 4: LARGE SCALE~: working in small groups (mixed), discussing sounds, planning large compositions and developing creative ideas and realising intentions on large paintings, constantly reflecting on your own ideas and the groups ideas.....

*** Extension: Start looking at the work of Kandinsky, think about his compositions as reponses to music, decipher his use of colour, shapes and composition in their entirety.
