Walton Symphony no 1, mvt 4
Walton is now remembered for writing glossy, sparkling music for film and royalty and this symphony is where it all started. Can you create artwork to match the beauty and star quality of this music?
1. What are you most interested in? Perhaps you want to be a racing driver when you grow up and drive very fast cars. Or maybe you’re into fashion and dream of wearing or designing Oscar-winning gowns. Perhaps you want to make the best cake anyone has ever tasted or design a futuristic building. Decide on your topic and draw the outline of it a sheet of paper.
2. Listen to the opening of Walton’s Symphony no 1 finale (above at 1’00). Hear how incredibly grand and opulent it is. If it were a dress it would be gold and covered in sparkles. If it were a car it would be the flashiest, fastest car you can possibly imagine.
3. Using Walton’s music as inspiration, transform your simple line-drawing into the most incredible picture. This is your chance to use your imagination and design your dream
Why not hold a launch party for your design? Dress up in your finest clothes, invite your family and present your design, perhaps framed or mounted on the wall? Your entrance music for this event should of course be Walton’s symphony which also makes the most perfect catwalk music to strut to! Remember THERE’S NO WRONG ANSWER!
