#Lesson2Expressingsoundsandfeelings
Find out all about Kandinsky's 'language' for art – a way of expressing sounds, feelings and ideas through his use of colours, shapes and lines on the canvas. Children will consider the ways in which they may associate colours and shapes with sounds, in particular, then develop ideas on paper or in sketchbooks for their own music-inspired, abstract work of art.

#Lesson3Creatingabstractworksofart
Build on children's understanding of Kandinsky's theories regarding colour, then challenge them to develop and improve their ideas for an abstract work of art. After that, it's up to you! Either paint or use art software to produce a final, abstract work of art inspired by a piece of music, or describing a situation of children's own choosing.
