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. 

Monarchs and Milkweed by the Kindergarten

Paint a Playground

I love these abstract paintings by kindergarten and first and second grade artists! These large scale collaborative paintings were made in response to the prompt: "Draw the coolest playground you can imagine!"

The Fantastic Jungles of Henri Rousseau

Today was Red Clover Day at Fayston School!  Each teacher team chose a different Red Clover book and led an activity about that book.  Mrs. J. and I chose the Fantasic Jungles of Henri Rousseau.

We provided students with many different choices of arts media and let the go WILD making jungle animals, plants and flowers.  Our jungle mural perfectly captures the vibrancy of Henri Rousseau's work.

Here is our mural:

Snow on Snow

Students in first through fourth grade worked collaboratively on a mural based on the book Snow on Snow on Snow by Cheryl Chapman.

 We used colored paper to create a collage of all of our favorite snow activities.  We completed our collage on the morning of one of our all-school ski days, so children were excited to get out and enjoy the fresh snow!
