Genesis 2:7 (NLT)
"Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person."

Art carries something that does not fade. It carries the mark of its creator...life has been breathed into it. Art is imbued with this life by its creator - in creating art, we imitate our Creator who first breathed life into us.

3rd Grade Project: Wassily Kandinsky - Wassily's Silly Trees

As the 3rd grade continued their studies of Wassily Kandinsky, we moved into a cut paper project using Kandinsky's color studies as our inspiration.  These cut paper studies took the form of trees.  Students would begin by drawing a tree.  Once the tree was drawn and outlined, student would cut the trees out.


We then used the basic shapes: circles, squares, and triangles to complete the colorful foliage of our trees.  The students were encouraged to use a wide variety of colors in their compositions just like Kandinsky did as he worked on his color studies.
