We had a gorgeous music inspiring art session today Blackbird Creative Arts listening to Danse Macabre, William Tell Overture, Entry Of The Gladiators and Swan Lake. Students listened and sketched first and then we did a deep dive into what the composer actually made the piece of music about. Stunning sketch by L done whilst listening to Swan Lake for the first time 😊 Darlington Hippodrome Darlington Borough Council
