Wassily Kandinsky

To begin we learned about the artist Wassily Kandinsky. To begin we use the main colors: red, blue and yellow. Then we mix them to create all the colors of the rainbow. Once we have all the colors of the rainbow mixed we used a small sponge to dab all of the colors onto the rainbow and create our own. Then we cut out the rainbow and glued it to another white sheet of the construction paper. Then we use the colors again to create a background for our rainbow. I used the green to create a field of grass and yellow to create a sun. 

An extension activity we could use would be to work further with mixing colors and showing students how we could make lighter and darker shades of each color.
