Kindergarten's Composition VI

This is a project inspired by Wassily Kandinsky's Composition series of paintings. I have done this project two ways: one with bleeding watercolors in the background and this one which is done with bleeding tissue paper for the background. Both turn out equally as gorgeous!

We discuss Kandinsky and how he used music as an inspiration for his paintings. As he worked with a composer, his paintings depict the tones and tempos heard in the music. On day one we dedicate the entire class period to painting the background. Of course with the tissue paper I tear all the pieces up and the kids use glue water to "paint" on top of the tissue to make it stick and bleed into the other colors. This usually takes the entire class period.








On day two we take a vote on what kind of music we will listen to while we paint. On this particular day the kids voted on a violin concerto. While the music is playing, the kids use ONLY black paint to "paint what they hear". As you can see on the painting above, she painted long, swirly lines--most likely depicting the long runs you would hear in the concerto.



Whether or not the kids "get it" every one of these projects turns out awesome and SO colorful! These are definitely a favorite every year!

    1. Pediatric eye examinations performed by an Optometrist is important for ensuring a child’s eyes are healthy and have the visual skills necessary for learning and development. They are important to detect many eye conditions including: refractive error, strabismus, amblyopia, and more. Some visual conditions cannot be treated adequately with just glasses, contact lenses and/or patching, and are best resolved through Vision Therapy.

  15. Small tiles with lots of grout lines offer a better grip than large tiles for floors. Nonporous urethane grout resists cracking and will not stain or need to be sealed. We use an acrylic caulk containing mildewcide for protection up to five years or more. For your tile removal or renovation, high-end bathrooms use polished granite that is extremely stain and scratch resistant.
