(KG) The Kandinsky Project/Emphasis on Lines and Shapes (Part II)

This part of the Kandinsky project was divided into two sections.

I. In section one, the students worked in groups of four to create Kandinsky compositions

by using pre-cut paper of shapes and lines. 

II. In section two, the students worked individually to create their own Kandinsky-based artwork.
Each student used two sheets of water color paper; one sheet was painted with water colors and it was used for the background. The second sheet was also painted with different water colors, and it was cut
into a variety of lines and forms. Students also used black paper to highlight their colorful
compositions.

Working together and discussing the work of the artist was part of the process.
We discussed the meaning of the word abstract in relation to Kandinsky's work.
