Are you a visual artist who wants to work with music? Are you a musician who wants to create visual work? Are you a student artist? Or a creative type wanting to expand your scope?
Using an artist’s sketchbook we’ll explore creating visual connections to music. Using line, color, texture, sculpture and more we’ll describe

• Musical elements such as theme & variations; head-solo-head; harmony; sampling, etc.
• The meaning you find in music
• Music as muse
