3a. Look at your artwork. Does the artwork depict something that is alive? How would it move? Is it an abstract painting? What kind of shapes does it have? What kind of emotions does your artwork evoke?

3b. A motif in music is a main idea that may represent something throughout a piece of music. Choose an instrument for your motif.

3c. From the same scale you used for the ostinato, choose 3 to 4 notes that you would like to use to represent your artwork. From the 'Intervals with emotions' sheet you'll find common connotations associated with intervals which may help you choose the notes. Note: This does not mean you cannot use the interval that does not depict your intended emotions.

3d. Add a rhythm to the notes that enhances your depiction.

Your motif for your chosen artwork has been made!

You can have this motif playing first then your ostinato or after the introduction of your ostinato. You are free to change how the music is structured.
