Wassily Kandinsky was a Russian painter who was interested in the relationship between painted art and musical art.
Draw on the painter’s canvas below. Click the play button to hear the high and low pitches you drew.
Tap on the pink and purple circle to choose different colors and hear different timbres.
Draw a graphic score for the high and low pitches that you hear.
Get several sheets of blank paper and something to draw with. Listen to the three soundtracks below and draw lines to show when you hear high sounds or low sounds.
This is an example of the first soundtrack. I used the orange marker to divide my paper in half so I had more space.
Your graphic scores do not need to be perfect. This should be a fun experiment.
