Drawing Art on Sheet Music

Art enthusiasts have been using sheet music in their art projects for years and now the trend is catching on. Take a look at these wonderful ideas of using art to bring sheet music to life.

1. El Paseo Irrepetible

Artist and architect Federico Hurtado (b. 1961, Buenos Aires) lives and works in San Isidro, Argentina. Using old book covers as a canvas for his often wittily titled collages, he manually cuts and pastes images from the late 1800s and early 1900s publications to create a wonderfully whimsical world of gentle hues and strange goings-on.

2. Canción Rota

This is another great work by Federico Hurtado which shows a traditional method of creating an image collage. You can buy the print here: Federico Hurtado via Flickr
