The Artistic Journey of the Violin – Day One

 

Instrument Art and an artistic journey of a Violin

The Musical Youth Foundation, is  a children’s charity.  They  aim to provide every child on the island of Ireland with a musical education.

They  sent me an invitation!  It was their wish to create a greater awareness of the value of music education and its life changing benefits through their campaign.  Needless to say, I got drawn in on

the Artistic Journey of the Violin

“Music Changed My Life”

My challenge was to use the body of an instrument as a canvas, to create a “masterpiece” entirely of my own design.

My chosen instrument was a violin

I have come across this recently updated and comprehensive guide to buying a violin which I think might interest you:

Seeking Inspiration

Inspiration flowed from thoughts of music,  love and nature.  I photographed the violin in situ around my garden. There seemed to be a symmetry between the child learning the musical instrument , contrasted with the efforts of the spring flowers presenting themselves in their glory, despite the ever changing weather conditions.

Lots of ideas crowded my thoughts – it had to be something noble enough to suit this beautiful  instrument.

 

 

I decided to wait a while and let the thoughts settle.

What would I paint?  What medium, design, colour?  Should I make it abstract?

Any ideas?

I invite you to come with me and see the journey of this violin and how it develops|
