wHAT DOES YOUR FAVOURITE SONG LOOK LIKE?
Find your favourite song, answer to why it's your favourite in an audio file, and create abstract art revealing your visual interpretation of this auditory experience.
Think about Synesthesia:
How can you show how a song makes you feel without words?
How can you interpret audio visually?
1. What is your favourite song?
Have you thought about why your favourite song is your favourite?
There's always a reason, whether it be the artist, the beat, the lyrics, the message, the feeling it gives you, the nostalgia, or the person it reminds you of.
2. How to show without telling
through abstract art
Put shapes in motion to convey an emotion using transformations such as rotating, position, scale, and opacity.
How can you use motion to convey emotion?
Use the Elements of Art and Principles of Design
Create a Word Board
Listen to the song and think about how to convert emotions and lyrics into words that can inspire a visual:
Consider verbs and adjectives
Maya
On a train moving
Flashing/dancing circles
Spinning
Fast paced like you're on a train, being transported
Gliding gently
Flashing, plucking
Passing city lights
Going fast but slow all at once
Time is a blur
happiness = yellow
back home with family
Ashley
Romantic
Cinematic
Alice in wonderland feeling
Two entities colliding
Two worlds = one is dream world, other is reality
Dreamy = clouds, pink, purples, cotton candy clouds
Opacity not at 100%
Butterflies fluttering
slow motion
drifting in and out
Aneet
Pastel greens and blues
Upbeat, fast, happy song
Flowers and sunshine
Getting a hug
Folk/alternative
Losing control
Letting guard down
There’s nothing else around
no anxiety
Comfort
driving through the night
feeling like a kid
Abstract Art
Create abstract art through converting auditory to visual.
Congratulations, you've just created art from art.
Remember, a song is a form of art, and through this,
you are asking others to be a part of your process.
