Artist and educator Hannah Coulson shares a trio of musical activities.

This project was shared with AccessArt as part of the 40 Artist Educator Project, funded by Arts Council England, aiming to highlight and celebrate artist-led teaching and facilitation.

A Cheerful Orchestra and Other Ideas for Drawing Music by Hannah Coulson

These musical activites are a delightful way to combine an exploration of drawing and music.  The first, takes two contrasting elements to create a mythical instrument, explored through drawing and play. The second workshop shares ideas for large scale, collaborative drawings made in response to music.  The final activity lets participants draw a self-portrait of themselves with an invented instrument, to create a colourful and original orchestra.
