Take a beat from Picasso’s Blue Guitars
Make art. Make noise. Feel the beat.
Introduction
Art and music. The dream duo! They share rhythm, emotion, freedom and the kind of energy that makes everything brighter.
At Smudge, we see both as ways of expressing who you are and your own individual magic. There’s absolutely no one right note or perfect picture here. Just the joy of experimenting, playing, and making something that feels right to you! This theme celebrates the rhythm of colour and the music of movement in the very best of ways. The slow strum of a paintbrush. The beat of little feet moving through an installation. The sound of laughter and spinning of CDs. We can’t wait to see where you take it.
From Smudge to You
Below you'll find the collection of creative activities we've used to bring this theme to life at Smudge. Each one is an invitation to play, experiment, and see where the materials take you. Pick and choose what excites you and adapt them to your own space.
