Elysia Carden uncovers a moonlit lyre painted in silver, whose glowing strings transform every pluck into vibrant strokes on canvas. Partnering with sound-engineer Tavian Lode and graffiti artist Zara Finn, she experiments with color-frequency theory, primary and tertiary mixtures, and acoustic visualizations—painting sound waves on film stencils and composing an indigo-splashed duet. Their citywide mural project grows into a twilight block party where projected murals pulse with live music, dancing walls and hearts alike. Painting Music Magic fuses art and melody into a hands-on adventure, teaching young readers about color mixing, instrument basics, and community creativity in an enchanted, comical tale.
