- Expression and Painting – Exploring the parallels of color, texture, shape in creating form, students play with the flavors of tone in notation to translate from varying moods of classical to jazz music. Students will learn to listen as an essential tool within the scope of an auditory visual language. With the techniques of an ancient Japanese paint brush students begin to create with a sense of balance, soft and hard strokes in expressively building a landscape and composing values light to dark in creating perspective, depth, and to enhance their piece with color.
- Art & Piano – Focus is based on the fundamentals in music, drawing, and painting. Students will learn through pitch, rhythm, cord, and performance recognition and engage in a comprehensive workshop based on music and sound. Translating sound into a landscape painting encourages abstract thinking skills in problem solving, and innovative ideation in creating their original artwork.
