Kids Art Lesson - Wassily Kandinsky Abstract Art

This is a video I made for my second grade students to help them learn about Wassily Kandinsky. What I love about abstract compositions like this is that it helps students to be mindful and purposeful as they arrange their artworks. For this project, I emphasized the elements of line, color and shape encouraging students to think about how they can use different weights of line and different types of lines, geometric and organic shapes as well as thinking about how the colors work together or create contrast in their juxtapositions. I started with just a tiny bit of art history about Kandinsky and showing a few of his pieces then get into the demonstration of the project to make this a more complete lesson and great for a sub plan. Right now during remote learning, videos like this are great resources because it helps keep my zoom sessions on time and it provides a resource for students who miss the lesson, need to review steps etc. the ability to go over everything quickly and easily on their own.
If you like this video and want to learn more about Kandinsky, check out my podcast Who ARTed on Apple podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. Art teachers can also find free resources that can help in the classroom at my website www.whoartedpodcast.com
