Painting the sounds...

In june/99 the 2nd year students from Centro Educacional Leonardo da Vinci, during the Art class, painted what were their feelings when they listened to a song.

The teachers Liza and Silvia played a soft and calm song ( Here, there and everywhere, by Beatles ), and the students were invited to express what they felt through painting a picture by using themes, components and colours from their own choice.

The feelings bloomed and the reactions changed a lot. Emotion came to the surface and some of them even cried while they were listening to the song

It´s interesting to notice how, different people used the same colour to express certain feelings and the ones with the same feeling chose different colours.

While the students were performing their works during an interview, it was shown the way each of them interpreted the song and how they transfered to the immagenery plan.

The work shows the importance of arts – in this case the drawings, the painting and the song – in the development and in the fantasy of the individuals.
