For this lesson we learned about the artist Wassily Kandinsky. Kandinsky focused on landscapes and a wide variety of colors. With this lesson, we talked about primary and how to make secondary colors. We mixed the three primary colors (red, blue, and yellow) to make secondary colors (orange, green, and purple). With these colors, we created a rainbow using sponges. Once we created the rainbows, we set them aside to dry. Using a blank piece of white construction paper, we were asked to create a landscape for our rainbows. These landscapes had to be unique and we had to use the paint that we mixed together. Once all of the paint was dried, we cut out our rainbow and glued it onto our landscapes. This lesson was very fun and unique which allows students to make it their own works of art.
An extension activity could be creating a painting with the primary and secondary colors. This landscape has to be an area that the student has never been to and they would look up different pictures for inspiration. The students would share their paintings and why they picked that area. Each student would have to have a different area of the world so each painting would be unique. They also could add a literacy unit along with this and have the students write about this place that they picked.
