Firstly we listened to the song below with a partner and our eyes had to be shut. We had to listen to the 6 minute piece while creating a response in our sketch books at the same time.
I had covered my eyes with my beanie, causing the sun light to appear in circles. This to me was familiar to the intense drum section in the song.
Listening Individually – Eyes Open
The next part of the task was to listen to the piece in a quiet area by ourselves. It helped that we were based in the forest because it allowed space for all students to relax individually.
In this task we had to listen to the full piece of music before creating a response in our sketchbooks.
During this drawing I discovered drawing on the top of leaves, while pressed on paper, creates a unique imprint of the leaves shape.
Other drawings are responses from the sounds heard while listening to the piece and having time to reflect on them.
