Building Visual Worlds for Music: From Sketchbook to Stage (early class 1-3 pm ) great for CET Time zones Music has the power to create places that don't exist yet. This workshop is about learning how to build those places. Whether you're an illustrator, painter, animator, filmmaker, sculptor, musician, photographer, designer—or simply someone who loves making things—this class is an invitation to explore visual storytelling through emotion, memory, color, texture, movement, and sound. You do not need to be a set designer or have any experience in live production to join. A 4-Week Workshop in Building Imaginary Worlds What does a sound look like? What does a memory feel like as a material? Can a color be loud? Can a room feel like a dream you almost remember This is a space to experiment, play, make strange connections, and develop your own visual language. We'll start with things you already carry around with you — songs, memories, places, smells, photographs, objects, colors, dreams — and use them as raw material. Over four weeks we'll explore how an idea can grow from something tiny into an entire world. Each week we'll work through loose prompts and hands-on exercises using the five senses, sound, memory, storytelling, abstraction and experimentation. There isn't one final thing you're supposed to make. The goal is to leave with a collection of experiments, images, ideas, and a stronger visual language Listen to things. Collect things. Misremember things. Cut things apart. Move things around. Make something impossible. Build a world from the noise. We make things: mood boards and visual collections maps of imaginary places drawings, paintings and collages material + color studies dioramas Each class meets live online for two hours, 1- 3 PM EST every Thursday for a month. If you can't attend a session, you'll receive a recording afterward, along with access to all course materials, references, exercises, and assignments so you can work at your own pace.
