Abstract Art


Wassily Kandisky lived from 1866 to 1944 and  is known as the "Father of Abstract Art". He said that he heard music when he saw color, so we spent this lesson painting to classical music. Believing that art should have tones and expression, Kandisky experimented with lines and shapes. The Education Girlz followed Kandisky in his journey by first reducing their art to lines: straight, wavy, thick, thin, arching, branching, and zigzag. 

Experimenting with black lines.


Learning about the color wheel and mixing colors with Mrs. Henry.
Lauren begins to add color to her black lines for composition and balance.

Samantha adds color.


After a week, Samantha evaluates her piece and contemplates possible additions.
