Studio Art News For Fall…
The Artist of the month is the Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky. Wassili Kandinsky was born in Moscow, and he was one of the first abstract painters. He was a great musician and a color theorist. He associated colors with music, and his artworks were full of vibrant colors, lines and shapes. He became an art teacher in Germany and he lived his later years in France, where he died.
For the fall semester the students of P.S. 162 are learning about the Elements of Art: Line, Color, and Shape. These were used by Kandinsky in his artworks.
Art activity of the month: Parents and students can go to the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan (1071 on 5th Ave, New York, (212) 423-3500) to see some of Kandinsky’s artworks. If you have crayons, watercolors, or any other paint at your house, ask your child to make an abstract work out of lines, shapes and vibrant colors.
