- 16. Percept Affect Concept Being a contemporary artist does not just involve crafting materials – it is also about crafting perceptions, feelings and ideas.
- 17. Task 2: SOUND TO IMAGE (60min) Produce a work that combines audio and 2D media. Your tutor will organise you into breakout groups and you will be given one of 3 sound works to use as a prompt. • You may use any 2D media (drawing, painting, collage) • After 60 minutes, share your composition to the appropriate column in the Padlet below, and we’ll review some as a class. Suggestions: • Consider texture, pitch, layering, structure, rhythm, and movement - all of these qualities have visual equivalents. • Try using text to mediate this process: what adjectives that describe the sound? • Avoid depictions/figurative elements - focus on the abstract properties of the composition: space, shape, tone, pattern, movement, etc

- 21. Week 2 To-do List q Task 3: Image to Sound Return to your THREE-HOUR ARTWORK and create a 1-minute sound work that is derived from the materials you used. As you develop your sound composition think about how you can arrange (sequence or layer) your sounds – eg irregular rhythm, escalation, syncopation? (3hrs) q Bring in a workable quantity of an allocated type of material: HARD or SOFT (your tutor will allocate these) q Review lecture materials/resources q Health and Safety: Complete Online Inductions q Pay the Materials Kit fee of $50
