Kandinsky - Watercolor Week

Almost every abstract artist has a technique that can be demonstrated and presented to our students. We decided to select Kandinsky this week for the abstract and yet obvious shapes his artwork depicts.

The materials were powdered tempera paint and squirt bottles to produce beautiful and rich watercolor designs. We also provided wet tempera paint with geometric and organic tools such as yarn, sponges, Popsicle sticks and more. The children were then able to have more control over their design and composition. The results brought lots of smiles and a sense of accomplishment for all.
