I’m very excited to be collaborating with pianist David Steinberg and mentor, critic and art historian Estelle Lovatt FRSA and inviting artists to join us for a 2 hour Painting Music Live session on Zoom on Wednesday 29 September 2021.
David will be playing a variety of music genres on his mini grand piano for us to respond to, with a focus on intuitive mark making and translating instrumental layers into a visual language.
Estelle will introduce the session by talking about the relationship between art and music and its significance in art history referencing paintings including those by Kandinsky, Sickert’s ‘Tipperary’, Whistler’s ‘Nocturns’, Klee’s ‘Polyphony’, Mondrian’s ‘Broadway Boogie Woogie’ and Matisse’s ‘Jazz Suite’.
The Format
The session takes place on Zoom. We open with a series of quick warm up exercises with music of different tempos before moving on to longer pieces of a variety of genres, rhythms and styles.
The session includes a short 10 minute break and closes with an opportunity to share your work and ask Estelle any questions you may have.
Upon booking you will receive an email receipt. Instructions of how to join us on the evening will be emailed to you in the week before the class and a reminder will be sent 2 hours before we start. Please ensure you have Zoom installed, arrive at 6.50pm for a prompt 7pm start and have your camera turned on.
Recording, photographing and screen grabbing are strictly forbidden.
