SUMMARY:Color in Sound: Translating Music into Colored Pencil Drawings
DESCRIPTION:This session has been cancelled.\n\n\nColor in Sound: Translating Music into Colored Pencil Drawings\nLed by Juan Sebastian Restrepo \n$25\nAll Materials Provided\nColor in Sound explores the relationship between auditory experience and visual expression. Participants will translate rhythm\, tone\, and emotional atmosphere into layered colored pencil compositions. Through guided listening exercises and structured mark-making studies\, attendees will develop a personal visual language rooted in sound. This workshop encourages intuitive response\, experimentation with color theory\, and expanded approaches to drawing as a sensory process. \nBy the end of the session\, participants will: \n• Develop techniques for translating rhythm and tone into line and form \n• Explore emotional color mapping through layered pencil application \n• Experiment with pressure\, blending\, and texture in response to sound \n• Create a resolved abstract composition inspired by a musical piece \n• Strengthen observational listening skills through visual interpretation \nThis workshop draws inspiration from historical and contemporary explorations of sound and visual translation\, including synesthetic theory and abstraction practices. Participants are encouraged to consider drawing as a performative\, time-based response rather than solely a representational act. \nAll levels welcome. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Instructor: \nJuan Sebastian Restrepo is a visual artist based in Florida. He received an MFA in Painting from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and a BFA in Painting from Pratt Institute. Working across drawing\, painting\, and video\, his practice explores perception\, memory\, attention\, and the emotional logic of everyday life\, often blending abstraction and figuration through playful\, diaristic imagery.

His work has been exhibited at venues such as the Coral Springs Museum of Art\, 1310 Gallery\, and Arts on Douglas\, and has been featured in publications including Cultured Magazine\, saw palm\, Stonecoast Review\, and Inlandia Journal.
