Colors & Moods Inspired by Mark Rothko
Abstract art by mark rothko for kids from nivaca2
First and second graders learned about Mark Rothko, an abstract expressionist painter. We compared Rothko's "color field" paintings with the landscapes by Wolf Kahn, which we had just studied a couple of weeks ago. Like Kahn, Rothko uses color to capture a feeling or mood of a landscape, rather than focusing on the details of an image.
First and second grade artists created artwork inspired by Mark Rothko. First we used chalk pastel on black paper, with a focus on blending unique colors and capturing a mood. Then we painted many different sizes of cardboard rectangles, which we assembled into colorful collages. Students named their compositions based on the mood that they had captured.

Blind Contour Drawing
Blind Contour Drawing is an exercise where the artist does not look at the paper while drawing the contour or outline of an object or person.
Fifth and sixth grade artists created Blind Contour Portraits. Some students chose to add color.

Kandinsky Concentric Circles and Collaborative Murals
First and second graders are studying abstract artist Wassily Kandinsky. They are each creating a colorful concentric circle in the style of Kandinsky's most famous painting, Squares with Concentric Circles. They are also working collaboratively on murals in Kandinsky's style. Kandinsky has synesthesia, which means that when he heard music, he saw colors and heard music when he painted. As first and second graders worked on these murals, we listened to music and considered how different colors make us feel.
