Create Your Own Album Cover

Create Your Own Album Cover

Inspired by Sound and Vision: The Art of Music, this hands-on activity invites young visitors to step into the role of artist and musician. Children can choose a silly band name, imagine what their music sounds like, and design an album cover that brings those sounds to life through color, shapes, and imagery.

Just like the album covers featured in the gallery, each creation tells a story—translating music into visual expression. This self-guided activity encourages creativity & imagination, while helping children understand how artists use design to communicate mood, personality, and feeling.

All ages welcome. No musical experience required—just imagination!
