MUSIC IN PICTURES

Over 4,000 students (Kindergarten – 12th grade) from 20 public and private schools participated in the 11th Annual Music in Pictures educational arts initiative and juried art contest. Students created their visual interpretation of music by American composer, Mark O’Connor. In March and April, 362 paintings were on public exhibition.

“We are so thankful to have been included in the Music in Pictures program!” Paula Bathon, Art Teacher, South Walton Academy, said. “From start to finish, the students were engaged and will always have the enriching experience of unlocking their creativity through Mark O’Connor’s symphonic splendor.”
