SOUNDPAINTING HEAR THE COLOURS
SEE THE MUSIC
Since many years music has been used
as a medium for discovery of oneself, especially with the disabled
people.

Christine Jones introduced JAZZ into the method of „Musical
Graphics“ together with Herta Hofer, an expert on this
field, they decided to change the name of this multiartistic
method into SOUNDPAINTING. Jazz added a new dimension to their
work.
The lines
in graphic art are equivalent to the rhythm in music. The colours
in graphic art are equivalent to the chords and harmonies in
music. SOUNDPAINTING visualises an abstract psychogram of a
person’s cultural and environmental background.
„Life is motion
- every healthy person is active. You only live if you are creative“
said Feuchtersleben, a German philosopher.
SOUNDPAINTING enables the patient to leave his isolation temporarily.
Disabled children
and grownups for instance often show a minor ability of communication.
Therefore they have a negative sensibility of themselves.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe remarked that „Whatever you
hear should equally stimulate your inner visual imagination!“
