A1: MUSIC For this assignment your challenge is to create a painting, in direct response to music that you listen to.

Example of an A1: Music painting

A1: MUSIC OVERVIEW: AIMS: • The aim of the project is to help students understand the connection between feelings/ emotion/ expression and art.

DEVELOPMENT: • A series of tasks will help you understand the concept of how feelings/ emotions can be illustrated as art, using a variety of methods including the listening to/of music.

• The development studies will help prepare you for your own response to music through feelings/ emotion and line, shape and colour.

OUTCOME: • The main/ final outcome (A1) will be painting based on your personal response to music that you choose to use as inspiration.

A1: MUSIC •

Prior to starting this assignment, you should have completed a series of development tasks inside sketchbooks.

•

The painting should reflect, and incorporate the style of Kandinsky (the artist used throughout this project for inspiration).

•

It is important that you produce a 'prep' piece of work using a full page in your sketchbook, before attempting the final work/ painting. This will help you practice and refine your final work/idea and can be used to work from during the process of developing your main painting/outcome.

•

The subject matter of your final painting will be based on a 'response' to a piece or pieces of music. While listening to music, you should take notes on how the music makes you feel, illustrate these feelings/emotions with a variety of shapes, patterns and lines that may come to mind, and use colours which reflect mood and atmosphere.

•

The final painting should look 'Abstract' and 'Expressive'.
