🌟 Stars of the Week: Ralphie and Acacia
Well done Ralphie and Acacia for showing creativity and effort in art. They made fantastic colour wheel monsters by mixing primary colours to create exciting secondary colours!
This Week in Class 1:
This week in Class 1, we continued our work on Wassily Kandinsky’s abstract art. I was really impressed with how much the children remembered about Kandinsky and the fascinating art he created. They were able to recall lots of facts about him, showing just how much they’ve enjoyed learning about this artist so far.
Here are some quiz questions you can ask your child at home:
- What country was Wassily Kandinsky from?
- What job did he have before he became an artist?
- What kind of art did Kandinsky make?
- What is abstract art?
This week, we explored Kandinsky’s 1913 painting Oriental. We carefully looked at the colours within the painting and noticed how some of the shapes overlapped. This helped us to think about the way primary colours mix together to create secondary colours.
Inspired by this, we created our very own colour wheel monsters! The children experimented with mixing the primary colours (red, blue, and yellow) and were delighted to see new colours appear. Together, they successfully made purple, green, and orange, which they used to bring their monsters to life.
Well done, Class 1!.
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Kandiah ✨
