Writing:
Listening to music is always an excellent way to inspire great writing. For this week’s prompt, we will be creating our own playlists made up of songs that spark creativity in us. Step 1: Make a list of 2-3 songs (it can be more or less than this depending on how much you want to write) that you love, intrigues you, paints a very clear image in your mind, or for whatever reason resonates deeply with you. Step 2: Listen to the first song, and write a short story revolving around the ‘plot’ of the song. For example, you can think about what caused the artist to write this song, which moments led up to it, what the lyrics refer to. If short stories do not interest you, you can write poetry instead, using some of the lyrics or responding to them. You can also choose to write a creative nonfiction piece, writing about what the song means to you, or when you first discovered it. Step 3: Repeat the previous steps with however many other songs you have on your list! Art: For this week’s art prompt, we will also be creating a playlist made out of songs we love. Choose 2-3 songs (it can be more or less), that ideally vary in tone, style, message, or genre. Starting with the first song, choose a medium that you think represents the song. For example, watercolor might be effective for soft, dreamy acoustic music, while charcoal might work better for dark, moody indie music. Listen to the song, and draw/paint whatever comes to mind. You may focus on the colors or shapes that remind you of the music, or you can illustrate a specific scene from the song. Repeat this process with the other songs that you have on your playlist!
