Kandinsky Inspired Painting

These last couple days at school have been great! The teachers allowed me to work with all of the students to do a collaborative Kandinsky inspired painting involving all of the students in the school--from 3-year-old students to high school. Wassily Kandinsky was a Russian painter known for his modern abstract works. I am working with Flora, the Inupiaq teacher who is very artistic. The students are working on completing a 5' x 5' painting. So far, the 1^st- 4th grade students cut shapes for the painting, the 5th-6^th grade students arranged the shapes on the canvas, 7^th-8^th grade students added lines, and high school students painted. Tomorrow 5^th-8^th graders will be adding stamps onto the canvas and high school students will be adding black lines. The students seem to be really enjoying the project!
