The Art of Collaboration

January 12, 2024

Artists can find a muse in anything. From a starry night to an enigmatic woman, artists are renowned for being able to turn anything into a piece of art. Musicians also take inspiration from everywhere. They have found inspiration in storms, planets, and even the destruction of cities. In December, Graphic Arts teacher Rosa Lee Fry and Piano Lab instructor Sara Harkrader collaborated on a project that took advantage of these tendencies.

Music created by Harkrader’s piano students was used by Fry’s graphics students to inspire digital artwork. Then, artwork created by the graphics students was used by the piano students to inspire their music. The music that accompanies each digital art piece was turned into a QR code that is available in digital form as well as in printouts located in the Fine Arts hallway (1600 hallway).
