Hi Chelsea! I really love how you reproduced Morning in audio form. I think your project is very creative, as you tried to create the atmosphere of this painting instead of copying it visually. The sounds such as the breath and the laughters successfully aroused my imagination of a peaceful scene.
But I would still suggest that you put more emphasis on the theme "Morning", so that your work can better reflect the artist's intention. For me, the background noise and the breeze are too loud compared to the woman's breath and the birds, and they affect the serenity of a fresh morning. They make the audio sounds more like "a joyful nap in the afternoon". Though we may have different understandings of this painting, I think it might still be a good idea to add clearer birds' singing and lower the volume of noise.
Overall, I think your work is attractive and inspiring, and I really enjoy listening to it! Thank you very much for giving me such a great experience!
Hi Chelsea,
I think it is a very creative idea of choosing a variety of sounds to contribute to the theme of "morning" and capture the atmosphere of the painting. With the interpretation that the woman's room is right next to the beach, I believe the types of sounds you chose were spot on, and listening to your project definitely evoked a sense of peace and tranquility. However, as the previous commenter pointed out, I feel that the noises could be a little more balanced in order to achieve the best listening experience. In particular one of the sounds -- I'm not sure which one, perhaps the one where you blew into the microphone -- was somewhat harsh; although it might be that my headphones/audio system plays it more loudly than yours, so it's more noticeable for me.
In any case, I love your idea and think that overall you did a great job on it! Keep up the good work.
