Painting to Music :3

 

Hey guyss ^.^

 

So our last class with Miss Lisa ended :(

But it was also a really fun experience.

 

Our canvasses were 50 cm x 60 cm and 60 cm by 90 cm.

 

Since we were painting to music, we started with the “modern” / “right now” music and then we went on to Classical music.

I was actually really looking forward to this as I really reallyyyy lovee painting haha :D

 

So when we started with the “modern” music, I used the small canvas to paint. I don’t exactly have a specific reason why, I just felt like painting on the smaller canvas first haha.

 

Anyways, at that point of time when the music was playing, I actually felt really frustrated and somewhat angry at how things were kind of disorganized :(

I used dark colours on the canvas as I felt gloomy.

I started with a large brush, dipped it in dark blue and painted in an upwards direction from right to left.

I then decided to add a little black that opposes the blues. So I painted a few black lines, some from left to right, some right to left.

Then I added red to add that little bit of anger.

 

Here is the final product! :)

There’s also a little bit of purple at some points to give it a little hint of highlight.

 

 

We then moved on to Classical Music!

At this point I felt a little better and was much more happier.

The music definitely helped a lot too.

The classical music started playing and it was a lovely, jumpy tune :)

So I started with bright colours on the right side of the canvas.

 

I dipped my finger in the paint and splashed whites, yellows, light sky blue, bright pink and some bright orange on the canvas.

The music was really bringing out the joyful, jumpy atmosphere.

 

After a while though, the speakers started playing dark classical music.

At first I wanted to ignore it because I was really liking the joyful atmosphere and I really liked the bright colours on my canvas.

Then I thought, “This activity is meant to be a paint to music activity, so obviously we should paint TO the music, right?”

SIGH.

So then I decided to follow the flow music.

 

I started using dark colours on my canvas and painted the left side of my canvas with blacks, dark purple and dark red.

 

This is how it turned out :)

It was meant to feel like the dark and happy forces were opposing each other, but I think the effect was not fully achieved due to the direction of the paint on each side.

If the direction I was painting on both sides of the canvas mirrored each other, it would’ve better achieved the opposing effect.

 

Owells.

 

It was a great experience anyhow :D

 

I really enjoyed painting to music and painting with my classmates.

It was also really fun to see everyone with their own art styles.

You could clearly see everyone had their own style of painting and I really loved see-ing how different everyone felt about the types of music played.

 

Oh, and I guess this would also be my last post on this blog :(

But if you want updates on what I’m doing, just go to my main blog! :)

Lastly I would love to thank Miss Lisa for everything she has taught me throughout my whole foundation year.

I am honestly more aware of design principles now than I was when I first started the course. :)

 

 

I am truly grateful :’)
