Drawing to music. Abstract or representational? Art classes in Oxfordshire

Our Art class produced some amazing and powerful pieces of work this week experiencing a different subject to draw, sound; using colour, mark making and two handed drawing to interpret music.

Our set list included Linus and Lucy-Vince Guaraldi, Rothko Chapel 4 -Morton Feldman, Four Walls Act 1-John Cage/ Margaret Leng Tan/ Joan La Barbara, Flight of the Valkyries- Richard Wagner, The Flight of the Bumblebee - Sergie Rachmaninoff, O Fortuna - Carmen & Burana, 2 Arabesques: Arabeque No 1- Claude Debussy and Rhapsody in Blue - George Gershwin.

Visualising sound is both an abstract and reprosentational process, it is a representational transposition from one form into another. Such as a dancer interpreting music or a musician interpreting a composition; or like water changes state from a solid to a liquid to a gas. Although its form may appear different, in its integrity it is the same.
