LINE- theme of the week

Start of week 2, and the kids got an introduction to Wassily Kandinsky and his abstract artwork. We used pieces of mat board that I was able to recycle from a framing gallery (will name later if I get permission from the manager). The theme this week is "Line" so students were asked to draw geometric shapes and change the colors wherever lines were intersecting (...sneaking a math lesson in here too!). The amazing thing about today's class is that when I mentioned that Kandinsky had the gift of "Synaesthesia Cognate", one student actually knew what I was talking about. Smart kids!!

We outlined shapes in oil pastels and filled in larger areas with watercolor paints. Unfortunately, we are all quiet on the 'student comment' front today (I wasn't able to take a pic of the comment board before the instructor for the next class erased it). I'll be quicker tomorrow, I promise!
