Kandinsky Leaves Art Project

282 Shares

We had a great time learning about abstract vs realism. Kandinsky was our inspiration for these leaves.

Kandinsky Leaves Art Project. Wonderful way to introduce kids to abstract art.

Wassily Kandinsky was a Russian painter that was the first true abstract artist. His use of color is what he is most famous for. Kandinsky’s “Color Study; Squares With Concentric Circles” painted in 1913 was our inspiration for this project.

I found a great study guide on Kandisky here.
