So after a week of painting I have finished my final piece for the paint a song project. I decided to do the painting like a time line of different layers. In the song there is four different sections of music that changes a lot from section to section. The beginning is slow and a little sad so I painted the top corner a mix of blue, green and purple. This part of the song, which is the first two minutes has a few patterns of music that the different instruments play over each other. To show this I painted two different lines of patterns that were connected to a black line. The white dash which goes through all three represents a single crash of a drum which always stuck out to me in this part of the song. When the song transitions to the next section it starts with the string section playing a sinister sounding few notes which I represented with the red area. The red then bursts into the next energetic area. For this part of the song it is very happy, bright and fast. So for my base I started with yellow and worked my way to red. To show the energy of this area I did a lot of different colored paint spatters, which was very fun. I also have the red exploding back toward the the yellow and orange. Even though it is a happy section I kept feeling the color blue so I added a swirling blue shape on the top. I also have different patterns through out like the brown dashes, blue half circles, and green dashes. Each of these shows a different musical area in this section of the song. I wanted this area to be just as high energy as the song was. Then starting around the 5 minute mark the song changes again, becoming slower and more like the colors blue, green and purple like the beginning of the song. But it is still happy so I added yellow arrows and a yellow and orange section to the bottom. Even though this area is slower it still has energy so I continued with the paint splatters. During this area one part repeats, it is the horns who seven loud notes repeatedly with pauses after each time, to show this I have seven orange lines progressing down the area. The last section consists of happy piccolo strings for the last 30 seconds or so I painted a variety of dots and dashes. At first it was on a white background that called for too much attention so I added a layer of very watered down blue to add to the calming feeling that this part of the song represents.
