Symphony in Color 2012 Miss Harrison Art Teacher, K-6 Swayzee, Sweetser & Converse
“Symphony in Color” – The Process “Each year, more than 35,000 elementary school children throughout Indiana participate in Symphony in Color, an enrichment program offering a unique blending of two disciplines: symphonic music and visual art. The program culminates in a juried exhibition in both the Hilbert Circle Theatre and the Indiana State Museum. 100 finalists and 36 blue ribbon winners are selected each year. One entry will receive the Pacini Award and will be displayed in the Hilbert Circle Theatre for an entire year. Under the direction of a teaching professional, children interpret recorded selections of symphonic music through their personal artistic creations.” Quoted from http://www.symphonyincolor.org/index.html
Symphony Music Selections GLINKA - Overture to "Ruslan and Ludmilla" PROKOFIEV - "Death of Tybalt," from Romeo and Juliet ROSSINI - Overture from la Gazza Ladra (The Thieving Magpie) SAINT-SAËNS - Carnival of Animals: Aquarium SIBELIUS - Scherzo (Allegro) from Symphony No. 1 in E Minor, Op. 39
Grades 1 – 6 Entries The following pictures were created by the students using various types of mixed-media of their choice: acrylic, oil pastels, water color pencils and/or markers. The students’ own personal style is revealed through the genre represented in their work. The musical compositions are rich with history and even a bit of drama. Some were written for operas and/or inspired by famous Shakespearean literature. Others were simply written for the sole purpose of celebrating life and nature.
