Music

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella! Today, we're going to look at a painting called "Music." It was made by a really talented artist named John Singer Sargent way back in 1921. nn Can you say "John Singer Sargent?" nn Great job! Now, this painting is like a window into a world full of music and feelings. nn What do you think the people in the painting are feeling? nn Let's find out!



The first thing we see is a person playing the violin. Look closely! Can you see how their body moves a little bit? It's like they're swaying to the music! nn Do you think they like the music they're playing? nn The painter wanted us to almost hear the music just by looking at the picture. That's pretty cool, right?



Now, let's look at the other people in the painting. There's a man and a woman listening to the music. They look very focused, don't they? It's like they don't want to miss a single note! nn The man is even holding onto a curtain, and his body looks a bit like the violin! Do you see it? nn The woman is holding something called a tambourine. Have you ever seen one? It makes a fun sound when you shake it! nn What do you think she's going to do with the tambourine?



John Singer Sargent was really good at painting people and things to look real. He used colors like brown, gray, and green to make the painting feel calm and peaceful. nn What do you think about those colors? nn The background is dark, so the people and the music stand out even more. It's like they're the only ones in the world at that moment. nn This painting is like a beautiful song that we can see! It reminds us that art can make us feel happy, sad, and everything in between. nn What do you feel when you look at this painting? nn Thank you for joining me today! I hope you had fun looking at "Music" with me. Now, let's go see what other amazing art we can find!
