Of all the media we've looked at thus far, the idea of pursuing sound as an art form is one of the most interesting to me. Beyond its merit as a medium in and of itself, sound can greatly enhance visual mediums by turning work into a multi-sensory experience or establishing clarity within a piece. The students I taught while working as an animation instructor always enjoyed adding sound effects to their films, and doing so often helped them sell the illusion of life that they sought to create.
Of course, sound is not merely a supplemental tool. I believe students can benefit greatly from being encouraged to create auditory art. Not all students are visual people, be that due to artistic inclinations or accessibility needs, and sound allows an avenue for different types of thinking to manifest in student art. Additionally, I believe there are some stories that cannot be fully conveyed through visuals, much like my own submission for our project on sound.
