Kandinsky Art Project

We have been learning about Wassily Kandinsky this term. We found out:

  1. He was from Russia.
  2. He was a teacher before he became an artist.
  3. He used paint for his artwork and liked to mix colours. 

We looked at lots of Kandinsky's paintings and closely analysed his "Squares with Concentric Circles" painting. We loved this painting and decided to have a go at creating one of our own. 

However, we decided we could use more than paint. We could do each square in a different type of media. We used tissue paper first to help us get a better concept of the circles fitting inside each other. Then we used felt tip pens and chalk and noticed the different between the vivid pen colours and the subtle chalk colour. And then finally, we used paint, mixing our own secondary colours. 

Below are our final pieces, we are so proud of them!
