Materials and Prep

Materials needed: paper, pencils, erasers, markers or colored pencils.

No prior knowledge is required, just an open mind and love for music!

Activities

• Create a Music-Inspired Doodle: Listen to your favorite music and let it inspire a doodle on paper. Use different colors and shapes to represent the music.

• Lyric Art: Choose a favorite song lyric and create a visually appealing design around it. Use different fonts, sizes, and styles to make the words stand out.

• Album Cover Design: Pretend you are designing an album cover for your favorite musician. Incorporate elements that represent their music style.

Talking Points

• Art and music have a unique connection. As Pablo Picasso said, "Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."

• Just like music can evoke emotions, art can do the same. As Leonardo da Vinci said, "Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt."

• When creating art inspired by music, think about how the music makes you feel and translate that into your artwork. Let the music guide your hand.

• Experiment with different styles and techniques. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, as Bob Ross said, "We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents."
