Study Notes

Sensation & Perception Introduction

The session integrates arts into the study of sensation and perception.

Agenda

Warm Up (5 mins): Reflect on the most challenging aspect of visualizing a song. Respond in 3-4 sentences.
Sensing the Song Worksheet (10 mins): Pick a familiar song and focus on details like instruments, rhythms, lyrics, and melodies. Note thoughts, feelings, and images during listening. Explore how the music impacts visual, tactile, taste, or smell perception.
Art Standard Notes (15 mins): Examine standard art notes related to the session.
Auric Art Inspiration & Questions (10 mins): Gain inspiration and ask questions about the artistic interpretation of the song.
Song Sensing Questions & Draft (15 mins): Address questions about the song, define colors associated with the song, identify songs evoking similar emotions, and create a draft of the art piece.
Reflection (5 mins): Summarize main points of the session.

Synesthesia

Synesthesia is a condition where one type of stimulation evokes another sense at the same time.
For example, seeing a sound or experiencing a color for a sound.

Art as an Expression of Experiences

Colors: Colors act as a language of emotion (e.g., warm colors like red and orange might evoke energy, warmth, cool colors like blue and green might evoke calm or sadness).
Form: Visualizing emotional and psychological states through the use of lines, shapes etc, to depict feelings.
Composition: Arrangement of experience. How elements are placed together, balanced, or chaotic, creates a feeling state in a work of art.
Jagged or fragmented forms might represent anxiety; smooth, rounded forms could represent peace or serenity.
The way shapes are placed within a space (tightly packed vs spread out) communicates the artist's feelings of comfort, tension, or isolation .
Using the contrast between light and dark to create inner conflict or portray peace.
Specific artists use their experiences of synesthesia to create art reflecting personal experiences and emotions when reacting to music.
Color choices reflect an individual's internal experience, heavily influenced by memories and mental states. This isn't arbitrary.
Worksheet Instructions: Reflect on the chosen song's emotions, connect the sensations with colors, and visually represent those emotions using identified colors and movements of lines and shapes in the art. Artwork should avoid literal figures.
