Abstract Art: Sonia Delaunay & Wassily Kandinsky

Our art  theme was 'How can we express ourselves?' We explored color and how this links with feelings and emotions.  I showed the children many different abstract artworks.

I decided to focus on three abstract artists: Mark Rothko, Wassily Kandinsky and Sonia Delaunay.

View the slide show below to see how I got my class to make abstract artworks inspired by Kandinsky and Delaunay.  The children in my class were aged 8 to 10 years old.
