Shape Sharpener
Let’s take a minute to review some
shapes. Then we’ll go on a “hunt” to find
them during today’s Art EDventure!
• O.k. class help me!
What shape is this….?
•Hit enter for blue shape name
•Hit enter for the next shape
•Hit enter for yellow shape name(after kids label it.)
•Het enter for the green shape
•Hit enter for shape name(after the kids label it.)
•Hit enter for red shape and name!

Circle
Triangle
Good! Now we are ready to go
shape searching!

Meet Wassily Kandinsky
“Everything starts from a dot.”
1866-1944

“V”assily
•
Wassily Kandinsky was born in
Odessa, Russia a very long
time ago. (About the time your
great grandparents were alive!)
•
People from Russia say his
name with a “V” or Vassily.
Can you say it like a Russian?
•
When he was your age, he
went to a classical gymnasium.
That’s a funny Russia term for
elementary
school.
That’s
when he discovered that he
had a zeal for art and music.
Odessa, Russia

Painting Music
•
Wassily Kandinsky was one smart
guy! As a young adult, he was a
very, very successful Law
Professor.
•
Then, he became a very, very
successful Art Professor known for
“painting music.”
•
To Wassisly, a simple painting was
like a musical solo (a song played
by one instrument.)
•
Likewise, a painting with a lot of
lines, colors and shapes was like a
song played by many instruments.
“Circles In A Circle”
If this painting was music, would
one instrument or many instruments be playing? Why?
18
Kandinsky’s Creativity
•
Kandinsky liked to paint things
from his imagination. As you can
see, his mind was full of lines,
shapes, colors and songs!
•
Some people loved his art, others
thought is was goofy. Some
people even wanted it destroyed!
•
One Kindergartener liked
Wassily’s art because she thought
this painting looked like “time
exploding.”
•
•
•
What do YOU think?
Do you like this painting?
Why or why not?

Look at Wassily’s painting and
find these geometric shapes:
-Circle
-Half Circle
-Square
-Triangle
-Rectangle
Now look again, can you find
parts of his painting where he
combined these shapes
together?
(Hit enter and several shape combinations will be
highlighted)
“Tension In Height”

Delicious Color
•
•
•
Some of his paintings didn’t have a lot
of geometric shapes-like this one. But
it is full of fantastic colors.
As a child, he would go into buildings
in Russia, just to look at all the
“delicious” colors. That is why he put a
lot of them into his art.
Can you name some colors he used in this
painting?
“Sea Battle” by Kandinsky
21
Lots of Lines
• Wassily used lots of lines too!
• Can you find these
different kinds?
– Straight
– Wavy
– Curvy
– Zig Zag
Some lines are missing:
– Dotted
– Spiral
“Yellow, Red & Blue”
After the kids are done with their line hunt , hit enter 4 x’s and each time they will be revealed.
22
Super “Squircles”
This painting is called “Color
Study.” Can you find the geometric
combination in it?
(Hit enter)
Yes! There are several circles
inside each other. All the circles are
inside a square. And many squares
are inside a rectangle!
Now it is your turn to paint music
like Kandinsky!
“Color StudySquare with Concentric Circle”

Art EDventures Sample
Class “Squircles”
We will turn on some
tunes and each one
of you will paint a
deliciously
colorful
watercolor “squircle!”
What are “squircles?”
Why…circles inside a
square
piece
of
paper!
Then we’ll put all our
“squircles” together to
make
a
class
Kandinsky!

Project Art EDventures
• Choose a color copy of a
Kandinsky circle.
• Listen to the music and
have fun!
• Grab a white square of
wet/dry media paper.
• Before you begin, sign
your name then “Draw
the Paw” so others know
it is a PTA Art EDventures
creation.
• Get a rectangular box of
watercolor paints.
• Fill both your round cups
with water.
25
Supply List
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
“Class Kit” of Crayola watercolor paints with brush.
Wet/Dry Media Paper- cut into 6” x 6” squares.
Water Bowls and Cups. Place the small cup inside the large bowl and fill
both with water. Tell the kids to use the inside cup for dirty water and the
outside cup for clean water.
Paper Towels- show the kids how they can use the paper towel to clean
their brushes between colors.
Laminate-please laminate all your “squircles” before displaying. You may
use the laminating machine in the copy room.
Black Roll Paper- to mount your class Kandinsky!
TIP-Have the kids paint their “squircle” starting from the inside out like a
target. This seems to help keep keep them from smearing the paint a bit
more than usual!

G.P.S. Ties
MKG1 Students will correctly name simple two and three dimensional
figures, and recognize them in the environment.
a.Recognize and name the following basic two-dimensional figures: triangles,
rectangles, squares, and circles.
b.Recognize and name the following three-dimensional figures: spheres (balls)
and cubes.
c. Observe concrete objects in the environment and represent the objects using
basic shapes, such as drawing a representation of a house using a square
together with a triangle for the roof.
d. Combine basic shapes into basic and more complicated shapes, and will
decompose basic shapes into combinations of basic shapes.
e. Compare geometric shapes and identify similarities and differences of the
following two and three-dimensional shapes: triangles, rectangles, squares,
circles, spheres, and cubes.

Dear Mom, Dad or Caretaker,
•
I took an Art EDventure today called
“Super Squircles.” What is a “squircle”
you ask? It’s Art Edventure’s way of
making
learning
about
geometric
combinations fun!
“Squircles” are
circles painted inside a square piece of
paper!
We learned about an artist from Russia
named Wassily Kandinsky.
Then we
went hunting for shapes, lines and
colors in his paintings.
Ask me about my fun watercolor
project! I painted a “squircle” of my
very own.
Then we put them all
together to make a class version of a
Kandinsky painting.
