Kandinsky Concentric Circles

Youtube is awesome...  

I got this idea from the blogspot of Mrs. Picasso's art room.  

The students in first grade watched some of the artwork of different paintings of Kandinsky's.  We got to see a lot of his paintings this way and it was entertaining too!

I had the students make a tree trunk from either brown or black construction paper.  I modeled how to make a simplified tree trunk so they could cut and paste it to whatever spring colored piece of construction paper they wanted.  We then made our own concentric circle picture using circles, various pieces of construction paper, glue, glitter and oil pastel.  I love the variety of colors and designs they put into their work!
