This week we found out a little about the artist, Kandinsky. It was quite tricky trying to say his name and some of us just called him “Kandy” which was a bit easier. A few children thought he looked as old as Robert Burns and wondered if they knew each other because both their pictures looked old.
Once we had made our painting in the style of Kandinsky, we talked about our work and compared it to Kandinsky’s painting. Here are some of our ideas.
- It looks like snow’s coming down and it’s raining with red and blue.
- They look like pizza shapes.
- It makes me think of rainbows. It’s quite like Kandinsky’s.
- They look like colourful holes.
- They are kind of different ‘cause we have different colours of paint in Hecklegirth.
- You can put other colours on top of colours to make it different.
- Everybody’s done lovely colours that I like.
- It looks like a rainbow swirl.
- It’s the same as his but kind of different colours.
- I think thunder’s coming down.
- It makes me think they’re lovely.
Sarah came home and told us all about Kandinsky and the circles that he painted. It sounds like the children all had lots of fun painting their circles – I think they’re efforts are even better than the original!
It’s great to see that the kids are being introduced to such a wide range of subjects!
