Which word is a color and a feeling?
Kandinsky was an artist who was born in Russia in 1866. His family liked music. He liked to paint shapes and colours. He believed that colours could express feelings just like music. In the book "One" by Kathryn Otoshi the colours have feelings. Let's try to paint colours and shapes with feelings like Kandinsky.

Squares with Concentric Circles
painted by Vassily Kandinsky in 1913 |
How many squares are on Kandinsky's painting?
Where are the smallest circles?
Where are the largest circles?
Which circles are thick?
Which circles are thin?
Name the colours that you see?
How do you think Kandinsky felt when he painted his art?
How many squares are on your paper?
Choose an oil pastel and make a small circle in the first square? What does that colour say to you?
Choose a second colour. Draw a second circle around the first circle. Make it thick or thin. It will be bigger than the first circle. Leave some space between it and the first circle. What does the second colour say to you?
Choose a third colour. Draw a third circle around the second circle. It will be even bigger. You can make it thick or thin. Don't forget to leave a little space between the circles. What does this colour say to you?
If you have room you may make another circle. Wow, you just made concentric circles. They all have the same middle.
Now, make concentric circles in the second square. Use different colours, make them thick or thin and small to big. Leave a little space between the circles.
As you fill each square with concentric circles think about making them all a little different. Use different colours, make them thick or thin, make them small and big.
When all your squares have concentric circles paint over the squares with watercolour paint using a different colour for each square.
