Year 9 - The Sound of Art

Down through the ages, human beings have captured their experiences and sense of the world through the telling of stories. By sharing stories, we can learn about others and find understanding and empathy for them and their situations. In this collaboration between Music and Art, students get to share their unique stories and perspectives. They develop a personal style by investigating artists who have combined sound and music into their works. They create artworks that are digitally augmented to add time and movement, and then enhance the viewer’s experience by composing music to complement or contrast the meaning created by the artwork. The course culminates in an exhibition where visitors will immerse themselves in a vibrant multi-sensory experience.
