Raw Canvas members worked with Film and Video Workshop (www.filmworkshop.com) to run a workshop exploring the links between colour and music in Wassily Kandinsky’s work, participants then 'collected sounds' and made their very own 'music for the senses'.

Comment by Raw Canvas Peer Leader, Abigail Boswell: "Being involved in leading the Making Music summer course was really exciting because it brought together people with different interests to share their experience and learn something new. We discovered the musical influences behind Kandinsky's work, engaged in synaesthesic experiences (that's when your brain confuses sight and sound - our word of the week!), and produced some vibrant abstract music, based on pictures in the exhibition. In only three days the Raw Canvas team shared their favourite Kandinsky paintings; discussed graphical scores; wondered at the miracles of thunder tubes and space phones; worked together to record “found sounds”; musicians Angela and Ivan taught us how to use professional music composing software; and people teamed up to create their own interpretations of Kandinsky's paintings in sound."
