Sensory Symphony at Wymering Manor: Exploring Texture, Sound, and Artistic Frequencies

 First half (Duration: 2 to 3 hours- outside the residence)

Activity 1: Blind-fold Task                              

The task was either of the group member would be blindfolded where in each person takes chances to guess the material by feeling the texture. One person will guide and the other one will guess and vice versa.

Activity 2: An individual activity where-in I had to observe any element in the residence for 5 minutes and had to sketch that element by closing the eyes. I chose chimney as my element and sketched it.

Second half (Inside the residence)

Our faculty Miss.Belinda introduced us to a new professor -Prof. Sebastian. He gave us a lecture on Sound frequencies and how they affect an element. Three different activities were conducted to understand sound.

Activity 3: It was an activity in group of four. A2 Size sheet with items like sketches, pencil was given. 10 mins timeline. The aim was to continuous scribble without lifting the pen, all of them to do it together, wherein line to line should not touch. Our group decided to divide the sheet into 4 corners in the sheet and started scribbling. Other groups used their own ways. It was funny and playful. Overall enjoyed it.

Activity 4: Texture feeling and scribbling on sheet            

Two A3 sheets given to both of us (one per person). We were asked to hold the partner’s hand, close the eyes and feel the palm texture. This texture was to be scribbled on the sheet. Different patterns were sketched. 5 to 10 mins was the time duration. It was also funny.

Activity 5: It was divided into two segments (Combination of individual and group)

Firstly, each person should feel the breath of themselves-Inhale and exhale sound. The sound of breath patterns was to be sketched using two hands simultaneously. Zig zag patterns derived through this. Duration was 5 minutes.

Secondly, the sound of breath and pencil scribble was also to be recorded on phone. Later, all our classmates (group of 20) were asked to stand in a circular path and play the recording together and hear them to understand the sound frequencies.

Finally, Prof. Sebastian concluded that sound frequency of any element can be sketched and can be stored.
