2d #4: Paint to music
 |  |

Black and White
When our lecturer told us that we had to paint to music using black and white, I was very hesitant about the outcome of it. I was then pleasantly surprised when my work came out decent. This is because I thought music can only be expressed with colours and not just black and white since it's too dull and depressing.
Doing this exercise helped me to explore more into my self expression and to appreciate every sound I hear more. Every stroke and splatter made on the paper counts as self- expression which I thought was very impactful.
Colours

ORANGE AND YELLOW
I used these two colours to express how happy the song sounds. The beat was very high and the singer sounded very happy as well. I also chose these colours to correlate along with the title of the song, following the theme.
BLUE AND BLACK
I used these two colours to express how melancholic the song sounds. It was a classical music with a very sad tone looming over it. It is also one of my favourite classical music pieces as it carefully encapsulates the true meaning of melancholy.
ORANGE AND BLACK
I used these two colours to express how the song alternates between a hip happy tone to a dark tone back to back. This song really describes my constant moods that are ever changing. The chorus is expressed in black because of how raspy the singer's voice sounds when she sings at the top of her lungs.
FINAL OUTCOMES
Thom - Joji
Nocturne op.9 no. 1 - Chopin
Done by using poster colour that's been diluted and salt. The paint was left to fall naturally and then sprayed with water for the finishing touch. The natural flow of the paint mirrors the hushed tones the song has in the background while the salt mirrors the singer's voice.
Done by using a thread that has been soaked in blue poster colour. The thread is then randomly put on the paper before being pressed with another piece of paper to create the jagged lines. The green stains are just splattered with a brush from a distance to mirror the high notes.
