In Tune: What Music Shares with Art | Class Notes

Music and art—painting, sculpture, design, and architecture—echo each other in countless ways. Exploring this resonance can deepen our experience of both. 

Listening to a work through the lens of a companion piece of art helps us better know a style common to them both, such as Baroque or Impressionism; can clarify the particular historical period they share; and can sharpen our grasp of shared artistic elements, such as rhythm, color, texture, and form. Sometimes artworks also inspire musical compositions and sharing common stories. 

This short, vibrant tour of several art/music connections is designed to introduce sometimes abstract musical concepts through the concrete visuals of a different, but intriguingly related, kind of creation.
