Murals Inspired by Wassily Kandinksy


First and second grade artists learned about Wassily Kandinksy and explored his artwork in several ways. Click here to see more about our work with Kandinksy.  

We worked collaboratively to create these two large murals in the style of Kandinsky's abstract expressionist work.  We used shapes and themes from his paintings and worked with warm colors first, then added cool colors.

Self Portraits inspired by Wonder by RJ Palacio

Fayston students have become very familiar with the book Wonder, by R.J. Palacio.  We discussed the themes in this book, including not judging others by their appearances and being kind to all people.  We drew self portraits in the style of the book cover that show our inner character traits, which may not be visible from the outside.
