More color theory. This time....Kandinsky! In this lesson we first looked at Kandinsky's famous concentric circles painting
Farbstudie Quadrate circa 1913.
I started the lesson by projecting the image on the board. I asked the students who they thought made this painting. They responded "Gina's class," "my mom," and "you!" They were excited to learn that this was a famous painting that -- like the work Josef Albers that we had just looked at the week before -- studied how color looks different when placed next to other colors. Learners then started their own creations.

| We started with a small circle in the center and then adding circles around that in pastel. |
 |
| Learners painted in the circles with any color they chose, making sure to think about warm and cool colors. |
Materials: watercolor paper cut in squares, watercolor paints, crayon or pastel
