Painting Music Workshop

Painting Music

Have you ever used a paint brush like an instrument? Long strokes for drawn out notes, jumping dots for plucked notes and squiggles for everything in between? What colours would you paint for different feels of music? Quite unanimously blues, purples, greys and browns were used for sad, yellows and greens for happy and red and black for angry or dramatic music. The children painted whatever came to their minds in response to beautifully played live instrumental music, which allowed them to be not only creative but also messy; one little boy even invented nose painting. This workshop is educational, teaching little ones also about the instruments played, and is thoroughly enjoyable for everyone.
