listening to music on walls
MUSIC AND PAINTINGS ARE THE SAME
Have you ever wondered why people stare at art in galleries?
Did you know you already have what it takes to view art and find interesting connections to it?
​
Think of a song that you, your friends or a significant other likes? Why do they like this song?
Looking at art is like listening to music. Here are the basic steps:
a. Listen to the beat, rhythm, vibe
b. Listen to it again, this time trying to make sense of the words
c. Now that you strung some words together, what is it about?
d. Find ways the song connects with your life
e. Find out more about the artist or listen to the song more to discover more about it.

CAFE con ARTE presents the process of engaging in dialogue with an artwork. If you see artwork at our coffee shop, gallery, or museum, the following 5 thoughts will help you understand what you are looking at. We at CCA believe that artwork is created to express feelings that are difficult to convey in words, therefore creative expression is the artist trying to tell us something and IM ART will help you learn how to listen. If done right, you should be able to hear the colors and see the music in an artwork!
