<\/a>\nWe have been learning about different artists and what their famous art work is. This month it\u2019s Kandinsky.
\nKandinsky is famous for his wonderful abstract work that have various shapes in them.
\nWe have been trying our hand at creating our version of some of his paintings, using circles.
\nFirst we used paint to create a large scale painting. We used each of our primary paint colours and using our colour mixing skills creating bright and different colours just like the one\u2019s Kandinsky uses. \u00a0We used our shape recognition skills to create huge and tiny circles inside one another.

<\/a><\/p>\nNext we used our scissor skills to cut circles out of felt, gum paper, foam and shiny paper. We experimented with different textures for this abstract art picture. We used our counting skills as we counted how many circles we used for our pictures. The children enjoyed using the provocation area themselves to recreate Kandinskys work in their own ways. They used chalks,<\/p>\n Using digital technology on our paint app, on the smart board,<\/p>\n Paint dabbers,<\/p>\n and our pencils.<\/p>\n We were very proud of the work we created. It was all about maths in the Studio Room as we celebrated Maths week Scotland. Which fitted in perfectly with our learning provocation area.

\nWe also tried ink prints using ink pads and corks to print circles onto paper to create a different type of abstract art. We used our 3D shape recognition skills to learn the shape of the cork.

\nto finish off our week of Kandinsky circles art we used different circle shaped resources to draw around. We tried records, cups, pots \u00a0and mirrors.
\n<\/a>
\nIt was a wonderful creation.
\nMaths can be a big part of art and is found in each area in our art room, it could be shape recognition with the different sizes of boxes in the junk model area. Counting how many pumps of the paint \u00a0we need to mix colours. Making patterns with the collage materials or clay and many more opportunities to learn our Maths skills with the joy of Art.
\nI wonder what artist we will learn about next?
\nHere is a wee look at some of our other maths experiences we have took part in through the week within our Studio Room. That have challenged and develop our children from 2-5 year olds with their maths skills.
