MOTIFS AND MUSIC

In this project designed for 7-12 grade students enrolled in the Summer Arts Experience, we explored the processes of pen and ink drawing such as stippling, line variation, and others through a compositional challenge. Students were asked to select a favorite piece of music, and to interpret the mood, rhythm, and character of this music by creating a composition that responded to it. Using pen and ink techniques, students would then attempt to create a piece that used all of the square frame and challenged to use negative and positive space creatively.
