This term, Year R have been exploring colour and using inspiration from the abstract paintings by Russian artist, Wassily Kandinsky.

The children learnt about primary colours; how to mix secondary colours; how colours make them feel and whether they are warm or cool; how to use paintbrushes and how to clean them between using different colours.

Each child created their own colour-wheel and mixed their secondary colours on their paper. They went on to create ‘Kandinsky style’ concentric circles and through their own exploration, they mixed secondary (and tertiary) colours within their paintings.

The next step is to learn to mix colours in palettes! Year R have been working very hard this term; please view our gallery below:
