The Auditory Weave of Saturday Art School in Three Movements

Ilayda Altuntas Nott

This article delves into the immersive auditory landscape of Saturday Art School at a North Eastern University in the United States, exploring the profound role of sound in shaping creative environments. The paper employs three distinct movements (noise, clapping, and silence) as a trilogy of unraveling the intricate interplay between sound, text, and artistic expression. The visually performative writing reveals the transformative power of sound in the art classroom, highlighting the potential of embodied sound knowledge to shape our daily experiences and foster meaningful connections of noise, clapping, and silence. In this exploration, the boundaries between art and sound dissolve, inviting readers to engage in a multisensory journey where the interplay of sound and visuals fosters a new perspective on artistic expression and the relationship between individuals and their environment.
