The Noisy Paintbox is the book about the painter Wassily Kandinsky that inspired this project connecting music, and visual art. Students in Ms. Osuna's 4th grade class learned about synesthesia, a perceptual phenomenon that Kandinsky had in which stimulation of one sensory pathway such as music leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory pathway such as sight. After some initial training, students chose a piece of music and created the colors, shapes, textures and composition that they felt best described that music.
