The document provides instructions for a first grade art project to make a paper tree. Students will make a tree trunk by gluing a handprint cutout onto brown construction paper. They will then cut circles in different sizes out of colored paper to create leaves and glue the leaf layers onto the tree trunk until it is full. The finished trees will be colorful paper sculptures made following the provided steps.

This document provides information about abstract artist Wassily Kandinsky and his art. It discusses how Kandinsky was born in Russia but moved to Germany and France, where he began creating purely abstract works using color, lines, shapes, and textures. It also outlines art projects for students to recreate Kandinsky-inspired abstract paintings using techniques like concentric circles, geometric shapes, and color studies. The goal is for students to experiment with visual elements to create non-representational art, as Kandinsky did in his pioneering abstract paintings.

Wassily Kandinsky was a Russian painter born in 1866 in Moscow. As a child, he was musically inclined and learned to play the piano and cello. After leaving school, he initially became a teacher but later decided to study art at age 30. Kandinsky's abstract paintings were composed of shapes and colors, with the artist finding musical inspiration to determine his artistic choices. He believed that listening to music allowed him to see colors, and cited Wagner and jazz as favorites. Kandinsky passed away in 1944 at the age of 78.

Grandma Moses was born Anna Mary Robertson in 1860 and worked as a hired hand on farms from a young age due to her family's poverty. She married and had 10 children of her own while continuing to work farms. At age 78, her arthritis made needlework painful, so she took up painting scenes from her rural life using house paint. Her folk art style paintings of farmscapes and community scenes became wildly popular, selling for thousands despite her initial modest prices. Grandma Moses achieved great success late in life, appearing on television and being honored by presidents, before continuing to paint into her 100s and becoming a celebrated example of perseverance.

Native American Indians readily accepted glass trade beads from European explorers like Christopher Columbus in exchange for goods. They used the beads to decorate their clothes and baskets as well as for trading and personal adornment.

The original painting by Franz Marc, titled "The Yellow Cow", depicts a smiling yellow cow against a backdrop of triangular blue mountains. Marc's wife Maria had a happy personality, so the cow may symbolize her. The diagonal lines behind the cow convey a sense of energy. Students are tasked with copying the outline of the painting but changing the lines, shapes, and colors to convey a different emotion. They will be graded based on how well they use visual elements to symbolize the new emotion and the technical skills in their rendition.

MandalasKaren Weinstein

Mandalas are circular artistic representations that symbolize wholeness and the cosmic order of the universe. They appear throughout nature and in many world religions and cultures. To create a mandala, one begins with a circle and divides it into sections using radial lines, then fills the sections with balanced patterns and designs. Mandalas can be created using various media like paint, pencil, or mixed materials. They must be neatly made, show radial balance, use color schemes to convey a mood, and demonstrate control of the chosen art medium.
