Art, whether musical or visual, is fundamentally about emotion. It is still a question of how and if a statement is influenced by its medium. With this question in mind, another is raised: can a statement's emotional value be conserved when expressed through a different medium than it was originally? This project aims to provide an auditory medium that enables both visually impaired and sighted individuals alike to experience the emotion that a work of two-dimensional visual art produces. In an effort to uncover a unifying theme, research will be done to ascertain what elements have an impact on the emotions that music and two-dimensional visual art each individually create. The process of converting visual art into music will be automated through a created algorithm, and the program's effectiveness will be assessed.
