Description
The art of Kandinsky and geometry come together allowing students to see how math can influence art.
This project is meant to work cross-curricularly. Math, art, and reading, and writing skills are all used to create this tabbed book. The book has a short biography of Wassily Kandinsky and comprehension questions.
Students will take what they have learned about him as well as geometry to create their own piece of art that reflects those concepts that were important to him. Students will also write about their sketch while discussing what geometric features they are using.
An example of the project is also included. The number of terms that a student describes is left blank so the teacher can differentiate for the student if needed.
Aligns to TEKS 4.6A, 4.6B, and 4.6C

I used this with my 5th grade students to help keep them engaged and still working on math skills during state testing. It allowed me to continue to work on skills with them while they were able to do fun art projects. They focused on the art aspect and I was able to sneak in some extra practice!
Great end of the year activity after testing! Students loved it!
Great resource to integrate art and math!! Students loved it
Great activity to use with my students for geometry.
Even though I have older students than most using this resource, I was very satisfied with it. They seemed very engaged the entire time. It was easy to differentiate based on their own personal confidence with each figure or shape. I mixed up the available materials as well to incorporate individual strengths. Some used construction paper, some used water color brushes, and some colored pencils and stencils.
This was fun!
Very helpful resource, thank you my students enjoyed this!
My students LOVED this! They were very engaged and very creative. A great supplemental resource to use alongside their geometry unit in math.

Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.
CCSS4.G.A.2
Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles.
