drawing music

Yesterday I tried to enthuse the class into representing sound visually. We started off by drawing single sounds/instruments - cymbals, a banjo, bongos etc. We looked at the work of Mondrian, Kupka and Kandinsky. Then we listened to various pieces of music and had a go at portraying them as images. This is one of the pieces that was done in response to 'Shake, Rattle & Roll'- you can clearly see the inspiration of Mondrian's 'Broadway Boogie Woogie'.
