Wassily Kandinsky, Squares with Concentric Circes

This project could be done with any grade level. For younger children it helps to have the paper already divided into sections or squares. I used a yellow colored pencil to draw the lines that separated each square. Folding the paper into sections could also work, but I found it actually would have taken longer to do that, and the paper didn't lay as flat as I would have liked.

We used the tempera blocks from the art cupboard. I've never used this type of tempera (also known as tempera cakes) so wanted to try it. Just add a little water  (similar to watercolors).

Another option is to have each student make one concentric circle, then arrange them in rows like Kandinsky's work.

Here's an example of the project I presented to the class:
