Kandinsky ink-watercolors

Students studied artist Wassily Kandinsky and Expressionism.  As a class, we looked at several of Kandinsky's artworks and learned about his life, his travels throughout Europe and his interaction with artist groups such as the Bauhaus and Der Blaue Reiter.  We also discussed Kandinsky's passion for music and how he attempted to paint/visually depict music.  Students demonstrated their knowledge of Kandinsky by making a glue/india ink and watercolor painting while listening to music in an attempt to paint what they thought the music looked like.
