What would it look like to you? Can you see this music? What would it look like to you?
Can you hear this painting? What would it sound like to you? Yellow, Red, Blue, by Wassily Kandinsky (1925) Can you hear this painting? What would it sound like to you?
“I saw all my colors in spirit, before my eyes “I saw all my colors in spirit, before my eyes. Wild, almost crazy lines were sketched in front of me.” This was Kandinsky’s reaction to a performance of Richard Wagner’s opera Lohengrin in St. Petersburg.
Look at the Kandinsky inspired artwork that you created. How does it sound to you? What do the different colors sound like by themselves and together? Now, write a metaphor poem to describe what you are hearing in your artwork.
