Use different colors of torn paper to create a Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky inspired Squares with Concentric Circles project! This project also has an instructional video available!
Steps
- Step 1Choose 6 different colors of 9x12" construction paper. Tear each piece into six equal rectangles - 36 in all. Each project only uses 3 pieces of each color, so each student can make 2 projects, or the 6 colors can be shared between 2 students.
- Step 2Glue six different colored squares onto a white sheet of construction paper.
- Step 3Fold each of the 12 remaining rectangles in half and tear into four or five consecutively smaller circles.
- Step 4Students should arrange the circles into different color combinations. Set pieces aside.
- Step 5Glue the largest circle of each color onto a different color rectangle. The same colors should not be side-by-side.
- Step 6Glue down the rest of the circles in your prepared color combinations.
- Step 7Finish artwork by layering different colors of oil pastels onto the circles.
