In this book, the arts are perceived from an interdisciplinary dimensions (music, visual art, media and psychology).Interdisciplinary study has been a significant strategy in teaching and learning nowadays.The inclusion of the arts is reflected in the curriculum in both primary and tertiary education. The major research problems in this book are: (1) What are the common elements in music and the visual arts? (2) Do people make correspondences between music and painting? (3) How do we define the role of music and its adaptability in linking with other expressive forms in contemporary education? The entire book serves to redefine the value and uniqueness of the arts in the holistic development of an individual. The significance of this book lies in using a sensory perspective to explore the 'multi-nature' of the arts.Sensory qualities, such as 'brightness', 'intensity' and 'line' are used as vocabularies to interpret art perception. The facets in music and visual art are illustrated and analyzed by the artworks and compositions of the Impressionists, Expressionists and through mass media, Japanese animation etc.
