Our Kandinsky Pictures

In maths we have been learning about 2D shapes. We completed activities in small groups based on 2D shapes. One activity was to make different shapes with geoboards, another activity was with Mrs R and we listed different shapes, their characteristics and where we see them in everyday life on a table in our maths scrap book. The third group worked on the computers and used interactive geoboards. After looking at different shapes and their properties we looked at some pictures by an artist called Kandinsky. He was know as the father of abstract art. We discovered that he used different types of 2D shapes and lines to create his art. We listed the shapes and lines we saw in his work in our scrapbooks. After looking at his art we then created our own Kandinsky influenced piece of at work. We had to use 2D shapes, congruent shapes and different types of lines like diagonal, horizontal, curved and zig zag. We all really enjoyed this activity and were very surprised when Mrs R told us we had just been doing Maths. Wow maths is everywhere and you don't even realise you are doing it.
