Music is made of a combination of notes, harmonies, tempos, and beats to express different moods. Art can be similar. Like notes and beats, art can use solely color, line, or texture to express different moods. Watch the Khan Academy video “Representation to Abstraction.” Take special note of when the historians talk about the influences of music in art.
Pick one of your favorite songs. Explain why you like the song and describe it. Visually translate your song into a non-objective artwork using line, color, shapes, etc. Include your artwork in your post or attach it. (Art abilities are not a grading factor.)
Why do you think art and music, in the past and still today, serve an important role to communicate ideas and expressions? What are some additional ways people can communicate expressive ideas?
