Kandinsky & Still Life pastels

It is SO nice to have clean white mat board to draw on for our abstract "Kandinsky" pieces!  We used watercolors & oil pastels for these lovely works.  Below, students got a 5 minute tutorial on how to use hard pastels for mini still life drawings.  Information goes in, beautiful artwork comes out!  So glad I saved the small scraps from the b&w cut-out work earlier in the week.  Yet another benefit to being frugal!!  And the last fun (and messy) project of the day was our handprints and a quick paint splattering for an introduction to Jackson Pollock.  These kids created so much work this week! Student comments after pics (if you read up on Kandinsky, the comments make more sense!):






"Some people can see sound & hear colors."

"...like Fashion Designers..."

"Nazis stink."
