Kandinsky Circles Mural

Wassily Kandinsky, a Russian artist from the late 1800s, was inspired by the loose painting style of the Impressionists and ended up pioneering the abstract art movement. This mural is a copy of one of his most popular paintings, and can easily be adapted for larger or smaller classrooms.
This mural contains 12 pages and measures 35"x 23" when complete. For larger classrooms, just print extra pages and add another row. I can email my printable pdf file with instructions for just $5.

What is the medium that you used?

I used Portfolio brand oil pastels. They make some of the best colors I know of.

You have some wonderful projects! I have a classroom art category on my site and I've posted a number of links from yours. I'm sure many of my visitors would be interested in your murals. Thanks for sharing!

I would like to purchase a mural. Which would be easier for 3rd grade- Kandinsky circles or Paul Klee?

Hi Erin,
I think they both would be fine, but if you have to choose the geometric shapes of the Klee Mural are probably a little easier to color.

We would like to use the Kandinsky mural for a Kindergarten art auction project. Our plan was to transfer your templates onto a canvas and have the children paint sections with oil paints. Are we crazy? Do you think a different medium would work better? Thank you...your site has helped this room Mom on several occasions!

Hi Debi,
I love your ambition, but I think that kinders don't usually have that great of control with paint brushes. And I'm not that experienced with oil paint. If you had a ton of supervision, you could maybe make it work, but it does sound a bit risky to me.

What if you were to have each child color theirs with the pastels and then modge podge them to a canvas, would that work?
