1st Grade Collage Kandinsky Trees
Here is another take on Kandinsky's Concentric Circles. This is an idea I found from the blog on http://drawthelineat.blogspot.com/2012/11/kandinsky-trees.html#comment-form.
Students love the story of when Kandinsky was a child. I have taught Kandinsky before this lesson so my students were familiar with his story. I'm referring to the book " The Noisy Paint Box" by Barb Rosenstock.
On day one students used tempera paint and painted their sky and ground. I gave each group of students a paper plate with the paint they needed.
Students used blue, purple and white for the sky.
On the bottom, students used green and yellow to make the grass.
On day two, students used various sizes of lids and stamped circles on the sky and on the ground.
On day three students made a tree from black construction paper. 1st graders then traced circles from various lids and used construction paper crayons to decorate them.
This project was a lot of work, but they turned out nicely. Students loved the results.
