Abstract

A device that utilizes the playing of a functioning instrument, such as a piano for example purposes, to cause a paint brush or similar object, which is attached to the instrument, to draw or paint onto an art medium such as a canvas. The result is a drawing or painting that includes a visual representation of what was played, as the brush strokes are caused by the playing of the instrument. In one embodiment, a piano is modified by attaching paint brushes or a similar device to the opposite side of the hammers that strike the strings to create sound. The paint brushes are saturated in paint, and a canvas is held in front of the brushes. The keys are played, and the hammers propel forward and then backward. When the hammers of the keys/notes played are propelled backward the touch the canvas, adding paint to the canvas only in the locations where keys/notes are played. The result is a painting depicting the notes on canvas, creating a visual representation of the music on canvas. In another embodiment, other objects, such as pens or pencils, are attached to the piano hammers to create art on paper or canvas using mediums besides for paint. In other embodiments, the playing mechanisms of other musical instruments are utilized to paint onto canvas, or draw onto other mediums, where only the notes or keys being played cause a brush or similar object to strike a canvas or other mediums, thereby creating a visual representation of the music in art form. The device has use in artistic creation, and may have medical use in art therapy.
