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.

Onomatopoiea Words inspired by Pop Artist Roy Lichtenstein

Pop Art!

In the 1950s and 1960s, young British and American

artists made popular culture their subject matter. 

By incorporating logos, brand names, television and

cartoon characters, and other consumer products 

into their work, these artists tested the boundaries

between art and everyday life. 

Roy Lichtenstein was one of the originators of this 

new pop movement. Fascinated by printed mass 

media—particularly newspaper advertising and 

cartoon or comic book illustration—Lichtenstein

developed a style characterized by bold lines, bright

colors, dot patterns, and sometimes words.

The art of today is all

around us. 

Roy Lichtenstein

"America's Worst Artist Ever??"
