Fourth grade artists have been exploring the abstract work of Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky.  They loved watching this short video, “The Kandinsky Effect”.    They kept saying… play it again, play it again!

Inspired by Kandinsky’s “Several Circles” piece, fourth graders printed circles with black tempera paint and colored their circles with oil pastel.  We finished with a yellow watercolor background.
