What music inspires? Today’s 64 Million artists Challenge is a great abstract sounding task! I’m really going to enjoy this and inspire you to give new materials a try.

What Music Inspires – immediately says to me mark marking to music. If you have not tried this before get ready to find a really expressive way testing art equipment. I am going to use a variety of objects and with the time of the music make marks on paper.
This benefit of this exercise is not always apparent. It helps to think differently about the way you make marks. The ways you approach drawing and gives you a new perspective on your drawing tools.
So, I am using a wooden knife and spoon, a feather, 2 tooth brushes and a normal watercolour brush that I will try an use in new ways.

It feels really decadent to dedicate a piece of paper to random mark making. And this is why its such a great sketchbook exercise. I can predict that if you try this technique you will hate the results. But bear with it and look again the next day. You will find the marks inspirational, liberating even.
