Our k–6 artists have been diving into an exciting and colorful exploration of art inspired by some truly remarkable artists: Wassily Kandinsky, Keith Haring, Alma Thomas, and Friedensreich Hundertwasser. Across all grade levels, students are learning how artists use line, color, shape, and pattern to express ideas, emotions, and movement. Inspired by Kandinsky, students experimented with abstract compositions and bold color relationships. Keith Haring’s energetic figures encouraged our artists to think about movement, storytelling, and how art can communicate messages. Alma Thomas’s vibrant, rhythmic brushstrokes inspired joyful explorations of color and repetition, while Hundertwasser’s whimsical architecture and organic shapes sparked imaginative designs that celebrate individuality and creativity.
Throughout these projects, students are not only developing technical art skills but also building confidence, creative problem-solving, and a willingness to take artistic risks. It has been wonderful to see students proudly explain their work, make thoughtful choices, and support one another’s creative journeys. Every class is filled with curiosity, bravery, and a genuine love of making art—and the results have been as meaningful as they are beautiful. We have been enjoying our time together!
