Kindergarten - Noisy Paintbox

In art class, Kindergarten students learned about the artist Wassily Kandinsky. Together we read The Noisy Paint Box written by Barb Rosenstock. In the book, students learned how Wassily Kandinsky was an influential Russian painter and art theorist. He is credited with painting one of the first abstract artworks. He was very inspired by the music. We learned that Kandinsky could even see colors when he listened to music. While listening to classical music, the Kindergarten students used cups to stamp circles using black paint. When the black paint was dry, the students painted the circles and background different colors. Students chose the colors by listening to the music and guessing what color Kandisky would choose to match the sound.
