Music and Visual Art: Their Correspondences and
Value in Education. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, March 2009, Pages: 256
In this book, the arts are perceived from an
interdisciplinary dimensions (music, visual art,
media and psychology).Interdisciplinary study has
been a significant strategy in teaching and learning
nowadays.The inclusion of the arts is reflected in
the curriculum in both primary and tertiary education.
The major research problems in this book are: (1)
What are the common elements in music and the visual
arts? (2) Do people make correspondences between
music and painting? (3) How do we define the role of
music and its adaptability in linking with other
expressive forms in contemporary education? The
entire book serves to redefine the value and
uniqueness of the arts in the holistic development of
an individual.
The significance of this book lies in using a sensory
perspective to explore the ‘multi-nature’ of the
arts.Sensory qualities, such as ‘brightness’,
‘intensity’ and ‘line’ are used as vocabularies to
interpret art perception. The facets in music and
visual art are illustrated and analyzed by the
artworks and compositions of the Impressionists,
Expressionists and through mass media, Japanese
animation etc.
