Masterpiece Monday---Kandinsky

Today we learned a little bit more about Wassily Kandinsky.  We looked at some of his early work and could see things like people and buildings. We noticed bright colors. We showed Kandinsky's later works and introduced the word abstract.  

For the past few class periods, we have been listening to jazz during center time. The afternoon class watched Dizzy Gillespie---And Then She Stopped  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjZa7lyyGlw (we had connection problems in the morning)

Inspired by music, we went to the tables. Jazz makes us want to move.

Lots of glue!  Lots of shapes and lots of color! And lots of jazz playing while the children created!

Here are some finished pieces!  More Masterpiece Monday after the Thanksgiving holiday.
