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 - Kandinsky's Concentric Circles

The color studies of Wassily Kandinsky remained our inspiration for this project.  We attempted the very same color study that Kandinsky himself did in his 1913 "Concentric Circles" as seen below.
 
Kandinsky - Color Study: Squares with Concentric Circles - 1913

Using watercolors the students explored the different color combinations while trying to control the paint as they created larger and larger circles.  Once their circle reached the edge of the box, they then would paint in the background to complete that section.  Their compositions consisted of four of these circles.
