Activity from the Museum of Modern Art’s book Art Making with MoMA.
Have you ever felt so moved by music that you wanted to sing, to dance, to paint? The artist Vasily Kandinksy was inspired by music and used colors and lines to capture the different lines that he heard. Instead of depicting people and places, he made lines, shapes and colors the subject of his paintings. Use these steps from MoMA‘s book Art Making with MoMA to paint or draw your own artwork to your favorite song or playlist.
