Wassily Kandinsky - non-objective art

Picture
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)

Step 1:  Review these videos on Kandinsky:

STEP 2 - Put your favorite music on. Using whatever painting material that you have at home, experiment with different colors, shapes, lines and textures to come up with some ideas on how to communicate how you feel when you are listening to the music. 

Step 3 -  Review your experiments from yesterday. Decide which marks reflect the way that you feel about your music.  Now put your music on again, and create your final image that reflects your inner emotions and song.

​Here are some examples:
