Grade 3 Art Students will begin the year with Wassily Kandinsky! Kandinsky believed that he could show us music in his paintings. He allowed his hand to guide him to make lines and then he completed his artwork with bold colors placed in such a way as to achieve all of the Principles of Design: Balance, Unity, Contrast, Emphasis, Pattern, and Movement.
The students will listen to music and allow their hands to guide them in making lines that flow, zigzag and direct. Then we will paint and color the shapes we have created.
Here I am in New York at the Museum of Modern Art. Behind me are two original Kandinsky paintings. Imagine Wassily Kandinsky actually filled his brush with paint and touched it to the canvases that were next to me!!
