Activity

Today is International Color Day, and we have a fun and creative activity planned for you. We will be listening to Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" performed by the Berlin Philharmonic, and coloring an image we have attached while we listen.

For those who may not be familiar, "Pictures at an Exhibition" is a musical composition that tells the story of a visit to an art exhibition. The piece is divided into different sections, each representing a different piece of artwork.

To begin this activity, make sure you have a copy of the image we have attached, as well as some coloring materials such as markers, colored pencils, or crayons. You should also have a device to play the music on, such as a phone, tablet, or computer.

As you listen to the music, pay attention to how the different sections represent different pieces of artwork. Use the colors that come to mind as you listen to the music to fill in the image we have provided. You can also choose to color the image in a more abstract way, using the music as inspiration for your coloring choices. This activity is a great way to engage with music and art in a unique and creative way. It is also a great opportunity to celebrate International Color Day by exploring the beauty and joy of colors.

We hope you enjoy this activity and have fun listening to Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" while you color. Thank you for joining us today, and happy International Color Day!
