First grade students examined what elements of design are found in abstract art such as colors, lines, and shapes.
Second grade students looked at Kandinsky's "Squares with Concentric Circles" and created their own concentric circles out of felt.
Third grade students explored color theory while reading "The Noisy Paint Box." There were many colors described in the book that the students were unfamiliar with. The students looked at the illustrations to try and deduce what colors where being described such as "vermilion" and "coral."
Students then listened to music and where asked the question: "If the song were a painting what would it look like?" This process was similar to how Kandinsky created his work.
