My second graders' first project of the year was with the artist Wassily Kandinsky. They learned about his abstract compositions and the geometric and organic shapes he used in his compositions. They drew out their own Kandinsky inspired compositions using pencil, traced over their design with Sharpie and then used watercolors to fill in all the white spaces. Here are some pictures of the bulletin board I created to display these pieces:
My first graders' second project of the year was inspired by the artist Piet Mondrian. We talked about his use of vertical and horizontal lines that created squares and rectangles which he then colored with primary colors and black. We also talked about what abstract art is and how his paintings apply. My first graders practiced using rulers to draw their lines and then Sharpie'd over them. They used markers to color in the squares/rectangles. Here are some pictures of the bulletin board for this project:
