"The true work of art is born from the 'artist': a mysterious, enigmatic, and mystical creation. It detaches itself from him, it acquires an autonomous life, becomes a personality, an independent subject, animated with a spiritual breath, the living subject of a real existence of being."
This is a quote from Wassily Kandinsky which I found particularly resonating. I really enjoyed hearing about his artistic process through Carolina's presentation. The connection between music and his painting is very expressive and I really enjoy this concept. I also read further about him later (not sure if you mentioned this in your presentation or not), but I came across something that said he had almost like a certain "code" for his paintings that related back to his music. Almost like he was writing sheet music, except in an abstract way - which I guess would make sense when you think about what you said about his connection with music. For example, the color red might be Middle C, and a black circle might represent a closing. I guess this is something you could consider when doing your final - at least maybe for one of the paintings? I don't know, just a thought. :) I'm looking forward to seeing what you make - I kinda want to try something like that myself.
I've been trying to pick the songs but its tough to settle on one! haha
