Wassily Kandinsky


For this project we learned and focused on the painting styles of Wassily Kandinsky.  We dipped a sponge into different colors of paint and created a rainbow.  We then cut the rainbow out and waited for it to dry, and in the meantime we painted, using either a sponge or paintbrush, a background for the rainbow.  After everything was dry we glued the rainbow to the background.

An extension project could be to focus on the style of Kandinsky's painting Yellow-Red-Blue (pictured below).  Students can draw bold lines across their paper, and work on painting each small space or geometric shape created by the lines a different color.
