Mr. Lowry's class drew inspiration from famous Russian artist, Wassily Kandinsky. We read the children's book, The Noisy Paint Box by Barb Rosenstock, which taught us about Kandinsky's childhood and how he struggled with being an artist in a "proper" family. As the founder of Abstract Art, Kandinsky's struggle was crucial to his success. We learned how he went against the conventional art styles at the time and had the courage to start something new. Art that didn't necessarily make sense, but made the viewer feel a certain way. We definitely felt the love as we made these "Squares with Concentric Hearts" just in time for Valentine's Day!
