  1. Wassily Kandinsky • 1866-1944 • A Russian painter that was the first to completely abandon the use of recognizable images in his paintings and create was known as non-objective art. • Kandinsky believed that line, shape, color, texture, value, and space can be treated like musical notes and used to communicate the artist's inner feelings. • Kandinsky treated each painting as a musical composition. • He drew his inspiration from the structures and sounds of classical music. • He believed that paintings should express the artist’s spirit, and the only way would be to abandon any representation of the outside world and work in complete abstraction. • One of the primary members and pioneers of the Expressionism Art movement.

  2. Expressionism • German art movement in the early 1900’s. • Believed the role of art was NOT to recreate reality, but to EXPRESS the artist’s feelings and beliefs. • Expression should be the artist’s primary goal. • Members of this movement were known as Expressionists • Expressionist painters believed that color was the most important element of art and it was the most effective element for expressing the artist's feelings. • Expressionists used bright contrasting colors, textured brush strokes, and creative distortions to fill their paintings with emotion. • Wassily Kandinsky was a painter that was one of the leaders of the Expressionism Movement.

  12. Your Project:“Post-Kandinsky Paintings” • You will be listening to a song played by the jazz musician, Thelonious Monk. • Listen to the individual sounds of the song and try to distinguish each one. • Notice the structure of the song, certain elements continue for a duration, stop, and then repeat. • Notice the different layers of the song, some sounds are more prominent and some sounds fill the background of the song. • Notice the tempo and duration of each sound. • Listen to the same song several times, each time assigning a shape, line, or color to a particular sound. Draw those images in your sketchbook. • Once you’ve determined the vocabulary of your painting, create an abstract design that expresses your experience of the song. • Remember that music has a structure. As you compose your design, you must combine your elements in a structured manner. The painting must have a sense of unity.
