Music and visual art are powerful media for conveying emotions. This month, we’re blurring the lines: it’s time to share your artworks inspired by music, musicians or performing. You can interpret the theme in any way you like, and use any materials, from pen and ink to needlework or film. If you’d prefer to discuss your favourite musical artworks, please do so in the comment thread, where we’d also love your suggestions for future Share Your Art themes. Thanks to Amnqchety for this month’s suggestion.Music and visual art are powerful media for conveying emotions.
