We have been brushing up on our cutting and gluing skills in second grade art. After learning all about geometric and organic shapes, students were introduced to their first famous artist of the year: Wassily Kandinsky. Students not only observed the artwork Kandinsky made, but they also learned about his life. Then, inspired by his abstract paintings, students created a Kandinsky collage layered with different shapes, colors, and lines. A focus was put on composition, and I encouraged each student to arrange their shapes and lines in a way that was most pleasing to them.
Oh, and I stumbled across a neat interactive Kandinsky activity on the National Gallery of Art’s website: http://www.nga.gov/kids/kandinsky/kandinsky1.html
