Music can inspire you in so many ways... think alone of the emotions it evokes. When we hear music from our youth, we are catapulted right back in time. Certain songs remind us of loved ones, good times or bad times. Every emotion has a song to go with it and the lyrics often contain words for feelings we cannot describe ourselves, or not that nice anyway.
Different ways to get inspired by music or use songs on an art journal page.
♪ make a page that illustrates the feeling you have with a certain song
♬ make a tribute page about your fave song or musician
𝄡 make a page about your youth/teenage years and the music you listened to
𝄢 get inspired by a song title
𝄫 use the text of song lyrics to illustrate your own emotions
I partied quite a lot when I was a student and during those years, the song ‘It’s raining men’ by the Weathergirls was my favorite. Whenever they played that song, I just could not sit still. I HAD to dance! They don’t play it that much nowadays, but whenever I hear the song on the radio I get that happy, free and easy-going feeling again. And yes, I start singing along and dance around the room. The years slip away and I just cannot sit still... here’s the page I made about that.
{Thank you, Marit, for this music-inspired prompt. I interviewed Marit this summer.}
