This assignment, based on the artist Wassily Kandinsky, will take three days. 

Day 1 - Review the material and video below, and in the assignment, write three sentences of what you think about his work in the text entry for today.

Day 2 - Decide (and tell me in THE ASSIGNMENT 'S COMMENTS) what song or idea you will use for your inspirations. This should reflect your internal feelings.  Then, also as part of today's assignment, you will experiment with different colors, shapes, lines and textures (using the watercolors and any other material that you have) to come up with some ideas on how to communicate your feelings. Take a photo of your exploration and submit it on CANVAS

Day 3 - Today you will review the below PowerPoint presentation on Kandinsky  AND try the "Tate Paint" website. You submission is to create anything to show that you experimented with "Tate Paint". You can create a screen shot (Press the WINDOWS icon and "PrtScr" buttons at the same time) OR download your image using the "Tate Paint" directions.

Day 4 - You will create a ROUGH plan  of your song/drawing. This is exploring and deciding what type of composition (arrangement of lines, shapes, colors, etc) to emphasize your overall music mood. This can be a pencils sketch, a color drawing, etc. BUT this is  NOT your final work of art. You can also use the "Tate Paint" website to create your final work.


DAY 5 - You will create your final image that reflects your inner emotions and song.

As we are heading into Abstract and Contemporary Art, we are going to look at the Artist Wassily Kandinsky. Kandinsky (1866-1944) is an artist that brought art further from painting realistic objects and scenes. When Kandinsky, a 29 year old Russian lawyer, visited a French Impressionist painting exhibit in Moscow, he liked it so much that a month later he quit his legal career and started painting. He tried many current styles of painting but did not find his own way until he abandoned what everyone else was doing and followed his own instinct. 

Following his own instinct brought him to create art that had no recognizable objects and that reflected his inner mood and feelings. He arranged the elements of art (line, shape, color, value, texture) to create that effect. Kandinsky felt that, like musical sounds, elements of art could be arranged to create inner emotions.

KEY VOCABULARY:

Nonobjective art- a style that employs color, line, texture and unrecognizable shapes and forms and that contain no visual representation of reality (no real objects)
