'Movement of life' – artwork
Let's create!
'Movement of life’ was inspired by the musical style of Italian born composer, Ludovico Einaudi and his 'Elegy for the Arctic'. In the film clip he is playing the piano near an iceberg!
Think about how the music matches the sounds of the Arctic (e.g. quiet, peaceful and clear).
Create an artwork inspired by listening to 'Movement of life’ or 'Elegy for the Arctic'. You can make your artwork about anything you imagine the music to be about when you are listening.
Hint! Use whatever medium you want e.g. pencils, paints or materials to make a 3D sculpture.
