Painting to Music

Of course painting to music starts with a lesson on Kandinsky.  I tell my students how Kandinsky liked to paint to music.  He said when he saw a painting he could hear music in it.  I played various types of music and students made one painting per song.  I encouraged them to stop and listen for inspiration, or to let the music move their paintbrush hand.  Can you hear colors too?
