This week we began an artist study about the artist Wassily Kandinsky. We learned that he was the first abstract artist and we discussed what this means.

We also learned that when Kandinsky heard music and sounds he saw colours and shapes and this is what gave him the ideas for his art.

We listened to a piece of music, just like Kandinsky, and imagined various colours, shapes and lines.

We then had a go at producing what we had imagined using black pen and coloured pencils. It was amazing to see the unique drawings produced by everyone.

We then explored one of Kandinsky’s pieces called ‘Squares with Concentric Circles’. We discussed the shapes and colours he used and then had a go at painting our square with circles. We will put all of our squares together next week to create a giant piece of unique art!
