Wassily KANDINSKY
Wassily KANDINSKY
Wassily Kandinsky was a Russian artist whose vibrant abstract paintings paved the way for Non-Objective Art. In an effort to step outside pictorial tradition, Kandinsky often described color as sound, with several of his most famous works titled using musical terminology. “Color directly influences the soul. Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the hammers, the soul is the piano with many strings,” he wrote in his book. Born on December 4, 1866 in Moscow, Russia, as a child he studied music and drawing but chose a career in law as a young man. It was not until 1896 at the age of 30, that Kandinsky moved to Munich to pursue an education in painting.

CHALLENGE
CHALLENGE
Watch this loom video that another art teacher had put together that tells you more about Kandinsky and our challenge for the day.
Then using a paper and pencil, use the image with symbols to "map" out what your week has looked like. For example if you ate cereal every morning this week you will have about 4 of those symbols on your page spread out randomly overlapping and turned all directions. An example is below of someones personal week in symbols.
After you have all your symbols on the page, use color with markers, crayons or color pencils to finish off the artwork. You can also use black lines to outline the shapes and lines.
You will see your own non objective artwork come to life, that is inspired by Wassily Kandinsky.
This challenge is so you can see how your week is going. This example above, shows someone worried and stressed who stayed mostly inside. What will your weekly map look like?
