Red Rhythms
Select a song with "red" in the title, such as "Red Red Wine" by UB40 or the TikTok-popular “I See Red.”
Or explore some red-associated songs like “Bad Blood” by Taylor Swift or the Beatles’ “Strawberry Fields Forever.”
The soundtrack from “The Red Violin” might take you in another interesting direction, with compositions that range from dramatic and intense to ethereal and yearning.
Create a collage that captures the intensity and passion associated with the color red, and whichever song you’ve chosen. This prompt invites you to explore the boldness and power of red, often linked to emotions like love, anger, or excitement in music.
Steps:
Choose your ‘red’ song and think about the strong emotions it evokes.
Gather materials in shades of red, from deep maroon to bright scarlet.
Incorporate imagery that represents passion, intensity, or energy.
Look for images such as fire, roses, apples, lips, hearts, bricks, cherries.
As with the other color exercises, feel free to add a dash of other colors for contrast.
For your composition, perhaps choose an anchor image. Or you might try experimenting with a tearing/striping approach — some of which you can see in my sample collage image.
