It is hoped that they provide a useful starting point for future enrichment, whether consuming music and art for pleasure, or encouraging students to broaden the way they respond to and interact with these art forms.

SAI Natial Cvention ART INSPIRED BY MUSIC ART INSPIRED BY MUSIC R ather than simply using musical techniques in an artwork, some artists reproduce specific musical compositions literally and completely on a canvas. From the early 1980s until her death in 2017, Ellen Banks, also a classically-trained pianist, worked exclusively from a musical score, translating musical elements into colors and shapes using her own system. For instance, she designated the color red for the pitch of A. She chose that particular color because, like A is the first letter of the alphabet, red is the first color of the prismatic scale. Using various media, including encaustic (melted wax applied on a canvas, where it is painted or mixed with paint) and weaving, she begins with patterns, then adds color. is is illustrated in her painting Scott Joplin (Image 7), based on a piano score. e result 1 is a sparkling kaleidoscope of colors that reveal something of the rhythm and tone of the music.
