We are working on abstract art concepts in class, focusing on the example of Wassily Kandinsky. We started with Peter Reynolds' The Dot, which shows kids that we can all be artists and then I showed this slide show, which gives a couple of ideas about how to do projects based on Kandinsky's work at the end.

I also showed part of this video in class and thought it might interest some of you to review in more detail. It talks a bit about Kandinsky's synesthesia.
You can also watch this animation, which includes some inspirational music.
Here are some examples of student work.
