4th graders studied Kandinsky's artwork. They made observations about the lines and colors they saw in the art. Students learned that music played an important part in Kandinsky's art. We discussed how line and color can convey emotion in art and made connections with emotion in music. Students drew lines to two contemporary pieces of music and within their groups chose the "best" one to add color. They looked at balance and variety as well as decided which one better conveyed the emotion they felt while listening to the music. Students were given a large variety of mediums to experiment with when adding color (they used their second page of lines to experiment). They absolutely love the day they get to experiment with so many different mediums! When satisfied with color choices and mediums, the added color to their best lines to complete their project.
