About the activity:
Russian-born painter Wassily Kandinsky is thought of as one of first abstract artists. He had an ability called “synesthesia.” He could “hear” the sound that colors make. He believed that shapes and forms also had their own “inner sound” that could inspire the viewer to feel strong emotions just by looking at the painting.
Today, we’re inspired by Kandinsky’s, “Composition VIII.” What do you think Kandinsky was feeling when he created this painting? If this painting had a sound, what kind of music would it be like?
You’re about to create a triptych inspired by music. A triptych is a group of 3 artworks that are meant to be shown together.
