Music Study

For the first prompt of the semester we were tasked with selecting multiple songs from a given list. After we chose three to four songs, we were then instructed to slowly narrow down our selections to one. After we had our chosen song, we had to listen to the song repeatedly all while drawing our own interpretations of the song we chose. Once we had our interpretaions complete we moved onto the next phase of the project. We were now tasked with converting our 2-D compositions into 3-D studies of the song. The jump from 2-D to 3-D provided a challenge, as we now had to think of a way to turn an abstract drawing into a 3-D model. The song I chose to interperet was “Oye Como Va” by Carlos Santana. This song came across very calming and soothing and that is what my compositions attempt to illustrate.
