Jamestown Elementary: 4th Grade Abstract Kandinsky Murals

4th grade artists studied the abstract art of Wassily Kandinsky. The learned about his life and artwork. They even learned about a strange condition that he had called synesthesia cognate. This condition is one that a person's senses get mixed up and he/she can hear colors and see sounds. Because of this, he would always paint while listening to music. We worked individually to create our own personal abstract artworks while listening to music. We then as a group, worked together to choose a color scheme and combine our smaller works into collaborative large abstract murals!

Jamestown Elementary: Welcome Back Mural!


WELCOME TO THE JAMESTOWN ELEMENTARY ART ROOM!

As always, this year on the first day of school, we began with an all school project that every grade level participated in. We created a mural of a tree where each student contributed their own uniquely patterned leaf to the branches. We reviewed the art elements in our designs focusing on: line, color (warm and cool), shape, space, pattern, and value.

Our theme as a staff this year is: Jamestown Elementary: "Reaching our unique growth potential." 
As a tree grows, we grow each day, and we are all unique (just like our leaves). Our goal is to do our best and to reach our unique growth potential.










Learning Goals: I can...
- Explain what a mural is
- Use art to create a welcoming environment
- Collaborate with other students on a group project
-Use the art elements effectively in my artwork
