July Week 1 | Color Exploration Fauvism Self Portraits: Grades 4-6

“Color is a power that directly influences the soul,” -Wassily Kandinsky. Bright colors, wild brushstrokes, and simple shapes were key in the short art period called ‘Fauvism’. Looking at art from this time, students will combine these themes with their own understanding of feelings to create a unique and personal self-portrait to learn how emotions can connect to shape and color.
