Be a Sound Artist

There are sounds all around us. We can also make sounds: sensible or silly...LOUD or quiet sounds.

Sound art is art which uses sound both as material (much like paint or pencils) and as its subject (what it is about).

We are going to make sound art by going on a sound walk and using an app to make a sound track.

This Digital Makers activity has been tried and tested by groups with Special Education Needs and Disability in workshops at Tate and as part of Diggin the Gallery.

Play with your voice for a couple of minutes and see what sounds you can make.

Out of ideas? Ask your friends or family to add some in. You can even make some of your favourite animal noises. ROARRRR!

Record your sounds.

Ready? Start recording your sounds.

Use the app to play around with the sounds and loop them together. How you do this will vary from app to app.
