Notice: In addition to entertaining you, this post aims to stimulate your creative process. Creativity attracts creativity. As a musician or music lover, you can make similar projects yourself; as a teacher, you can use this material for conversation activities with your students or for practical projects where your students produce their own artistic sheet music to be presented to classmates or at a special art exhibition event at school.

Works that break down the walls that divide the Arts are always thought-provoking, mixing languages and leading us to realize how sound, color, words, image, volume, and movement communicate.

We have selected the work of some artists who bring the scores to life, mixing Music with Painting / Drawing.

I particularly like this kind of art that makes me admire the strokes and colors used, as well as stimulating me to try to find some meaning or some logic for the choices made by the artist.

In this case of Artistic Sheet Music, I ask myself:
– Why did the artist choose this song/piece? Does it have any sentimental value to him/her?
– Does the title of the song/piece have any relation to the painting / drawing?
– What were the techniques used?
– What materials were used?
– What words or ideas come to my mind while I look at the sheet music?

Alright, let’s start walking through the Art Gallery now:
