June 13, 2014 noisy/quiet places

Following on from exploring the intersection of music and art through painting songs, we looked at various artists and how they evoke sound through their work. We worked on collages to depict places familiar to us.

How do the P1 artists use colour and various media to create their noisy/quiet collage? What place are they showing you? What sounds do you hear when you look at the art? You can see all the collages on our Artsonia Gallery.

I listened to this Science Friday podcast–Recording the Global Soundscape while I was working in the ceramics room last month and it made me think about the art we had been making. How would you visually interpret the sounds?

Have a look and listen at the Global Soundscapes site this summer and see what art it inspires you to make. Also make sure to check out the soundscape visualization under the FUN tab.

February 9, 2012 February Book Picks

Shapes, Places and Stories are three books part of a larger series that Philip Yenawine, using art from The Museum of Modern Art, wrote to encourage us to look at shapes, places and storytelling in works of art. You will come across a wide range of artwork and engaging questions.  As you read through the books, what questions would you ask about the art?

P1 artists make sure you check out Marc Chagall’s self portrait on page 13 of Stories.  What feeling is he trying to show us?
