Music and Visual Arts--How they Relate and Inspire

Most of my students love to listen to music as they are working on their projects.  Music can have a huge impact on the way we create art, our stylistic choices and the mood that is created.  Here is an article that you may find interesting:


Music and Painting, A Harmonious Relationship

One of my favorite Quotes

This quote pretty much sums up the reason that I make art and how I attach meaning to my work.  I'm excited to share my love of art with the students at Cypress this year and hope that they gain a new sense of purpose as they create their own works of art.  Below you will find the quote and also some images from a recent trip to New Mexico:

ABOVE ALL ELSE,
IT IS ABOUT LEAVING A MARK
THAT I EXISTED:  I WAS HERE.
I WAS HAPPY.  I WAS SAD.
I WAS IN LOVE.  I WAS AFRAID.
I WAS HOPEFUL.
I HAD AN IDEA AND I HAD A PURPOSE.
THAT IS WHY I MADE WORKS OF ART.
