The Sound of Art

Acrylic Painting

For this task, I had to use Acrylic paint to create an abstract composition while playing and listening to Arnold Schoenberg 'Six Short Pieces of Piano' in the background. It was quite hard because I couldn't focus on the mood of the song. The challenge of this task is that we had to paint over paint. I couldn't do that properly. It was quite hard. I kept painting on the paper and I also had to make sure that the brush mark is invisible.

For this composition I've used dark and gloomy colour so that it represent the mood of this song. I've used green, blue, yellow and black. I also put yellow because it kind of shows a little bit of the happiness of the song.

Paper Sculpture

For this task, I had to create a Paper Sculpture while Luicana Berio's Linea playing in the background. I find this the hardest task because I faced many challenges.

This music composition was kind of creepy and I also felt the spooky feeling. I barely used any colour for this abstract composition. All I did was cut the edges and fold it so it pops out when you look it from the side. It is unfinished because I only had 7 minutes to complete and I think 7 minutes isn't enough. The other challenge that I faced was following the beat. That was also really hard.

Watercolor Painting

This task is watercolor painting. I find this the easiest task because it is a water colour painting and following the beat for this abstract composition was also kind of easy. I interpreted the music composition called Dream by John Cage.

The feeling of the music was kind of sad and it is also slow. As you can see I've used bright colors but that doesn't represent anything. The structures of the lines represent the feeling of the music. I've used wavy lines to represent the sad and slow feeling.

During this task, I kind of felt that I was off beat for few minutes.

Printing

This task is called printing. I interpreted the music called The Rites of Spring by Stravinsky. This was the fun task out of all because all we did was printing and it was really fun. The challenge that I faced was that I couldn't follow the beat. All I did was printing on the paper.
