Grade 1 Collage

First Grade learned about artist Wassily Kandinsy and the power of abstraction! They explored the elements of color and shape through cutting and gluing small pieces to create a design based on an organized composition thinking about top, bottom, middle and sides. We learned through Kandinsky that colors, lines and shapes can have meanings by themselves; they do not need to represent objects and people in the real world in order to convey feeling, emotion and admiration in a work of art!
