Product description

Wassily Kandinsky – The Path to Abstraction

Wassily Kandinsky – The Path to Abstraction is a ready-to-use Art teaching resource for Grades 9–12. This material introduces the work of Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944), regarded as one of the pioneers of non-objective, abstract painting. It centres on the question of how his art gradually moved away from representation and how colour, form and the „sound“ he described became independent means of expression.

Guiding question: How did Kandinsky's representational painting become the path to abstraction – and how do colour, form and „sound“ work together?

What's included

  • 3 differentiated worksheets with required and optional tasks
  • Full answer keys with expected solutions
  • A 7-slide colour presentation
  • A detailed, step-by-step lesson plan
  • Print & digital — editable and ready to use, no prep required

Learning objectives

  • Outline Kandinsky's life, work and art-historical significance in its main features
  • Trace the path from representation to abstraction and describe it using technical terms
  • Analyse the interplay of colour, form and „sound“ using pictorial examples
  • Explain Kandinsky's basic art-theoretical ideas and evaluate them critically
  • Create an original abstract composition and justify the design decisions

Topics covered (3 worksheets)

  • Getting to know Kandinsky & abstraction
  • Analysing colour, form and „sound“
  • Creating your own abstract composition

How to use it

Teach the full series in sequence or pull single worksheets as stand-alone lessons. Differentiation is built in through required and optional tasks, so you can meet a range of levels in the same class. The included lesson plan and complete answer keys make the resource ready to teach with no additional preparation.
