Manifestation of a Jazz Song

   A contemporary jazz song was played to inspire the class to create an piece based upon it. I immediately noticed the strong base beat, to which other instruments piled on top as the song progressed. The motion of the song reminded me of an underwater scene, but I did not want to go literal. I first created abstract bubbles to represent the base beat that started off the song. I then added a swirling pattern to mimic the song's smooth progression. Plants were then added as the string instruments picked up, but I wanted them to look faded so that it was cohesive with the rest of the image. I choose to use pastel colors to portray the "cool" feeling of the jazz song.
