The Year of the Spark lesson with Lynn Whipple is a further exploration of responding to music in the creative process.

With the music

Lynn Whipple is teaching the Year of the Spark lesson for the second half of April... using music to influence mark making.

I don't have music playing while I work in my studio unless I am doing chores (cleaning and tidying up for the next project).  When seasons permit, I prefer to listen to the birds' songs or soft rainfall.  Or I like to listen to recordings of nature or lectures by people with engaging speaking voices.

For this lesson, I chose music that had a slow to medium tempos with occasional tempo changes.
