Kandinsky Concentric Circles

We researched Kandindsky and his way of expressing himself through colour. Would you call yellow a mean colour? Well, a few surprises. 

I folded the white paper to create 6 squares, then the children used bright oil pastels to make the concentric circles (demonstration needed!) Afterwards they chose a bright coloured paint to sponge over the top...wax resist. 

An extra activity was to mix paint colours with black and white to make tints, tones and shades, into bookmarks, like the paint samples in DIY shops. The children wrote a word to describe their emotion and how that colour made them feel.
