First Grade Students created a collage based on the famous artwork, "Squares with Concentric Rings" by Wassily Kandinsky. Kandinsky is one of my favorite abstract artists and the students really caught on to my energy about abstract art. First we folded paper into thirds and then in half and unfolded the paper. This made six squares. Then, they painted each square a different color. They cut out large, medium, and small circles of construction paper and glued them in each square according to size. Then, once the squares were completely dry, they drew circles over the collaged circles with different colors of oil pastel crayons.
About Me
- Sara
- My name is Sara and I am an art teacher at a small elementary school in the Sunshine State. I teach Kindergarten through fifth grade students. I believe arts education is an integral part of a child's success in school and in life. Students take home more than projects they've completed. They come home with confidence, passion, curiosity, and most importantly, "life".
