K-Wassily Kandinsky's Study of Concentric Circles

 This week at art class, Kindergarteners had a great time learning about Wassily Kandinsky and working on the collaborative project inspired by Kandinsky's Study of Concentric Circles.

Wassily Kandinsky was a famous Russian painter and art theorist who is credited with painting of the first purely abstract works. He was born in Moscow in 1866 and later died in 1944.
Wassily Kandinsky often painted circles on canvas as a color theory experiment to show how different colors reacted when placed next to lighter or darker hues. Wassily never thought these studies would be sold, never mind highly regarded in the art world.

Each student is assigned for three squares and paint his/her version of color study on the canvas.
It might take about 2 more weeks to finish and I am THRILLED to see the final piece.
