Second graders got reacquainted with the color wheel and color theory, but first we learned a little about the artist, Wassily Kandinsky, who made abstract paintings with various kinds of line. Once students drew different kinds of lines (including vertical, diagonal, and horizontal lines), they started painting with watercolors. Students were directed to paint using color theory, with either analogous or complementary colors adjacent to each other.

Students will illustrate as close to real life as possible. As a provocation for the lessons, we viewed the Jungle Maker at the National Gallery of Art for kids website. Based on group discussion, students will design a graphic for a Michigan soda company (Faygo, Vernors, Towne Club) in a style related to a given decade. The graphic must consist of the company title and maximum of one geometric shape and/or pattern.
