Black History Month: Sound in Living Colour (Music and Painting)

Musician Kathryn Patricia Cobbler will guide older adult participants through this multidisciplinary workshop, drawing correlations between music and painting. While listening to different atmospheric pieces played by Kathryn with her viola, participants will paint landscapes and reflect on people, places and images that inspire them to tell their life stories. Participants will learn painting techniques and reflect on the music and type of imagery they experience.
