A Cheerful Orchestra and Other Ideas for Drawing Music by Hannah Coulson

By Hannah Coulson

This project was shared with AccessArt as part of the 40 Artist Educator Project, funded by Arts Council England, aiming to highlight and celebrate artist-led teaching and facilitation.

These musical activities are a delightful way to combine an exploration of drawing and music.  The first takes two contrasting elements to create a mythical instrument, explored through drawing and play. The second workshop shares ideas for large-scale, collaborative drawings made in response to music.  The final activity lets participants draw a self-portrait with an invented instrument, to create a colourful and original orchestra.
