Kandinsky and Stravinsky

2nd grade students observed artwork by Wassily Kandinsky and looked for abstract features.  Students were inspired by Kandinsky's artwork as well as Igor Stravinksy's "Firebird Suite".  While painting, the classic tunes by Stravinsky filled the classroom and students painted the different emotions they felt as they listened to the tempos change.  I absolutely love how these turned out!  Check out more on artsonia.com!

How can you use line and color to evoke different emotions?
