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. You can purchase my pdf file with instructions for just $5.

What a great piece of artwork!! Pravo!!! It gave me great ideas to do something similar to that!! I love the way that all of the colors mix together so well!!! Great, great piece of artwork!!
Looks great. Would love the pdf, how/where do I pay?
Thanks
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?
Love the site! The colours of the artworks are so vibrant! I also work with children and think that the murals would be a great educational tool that the kids would love!
I am curious how Amy's idea came out. I had the same idea for first graders but still trying to figure out a good way of getting the separate sheets in a finished form on canvas. Any suggestions? I agree the oil pastels are best way to go with this age group. I am not sure painting is anything I want to deal with.
I just completed this project with my almost 7yr old nephew for his parents Christmas present. I printed these out on glossy photo paper, 4 pages to a page. This reduced the total project to about 12x17. He used permanent markers to color in the circles. He took total freedom for the colors but that is what made it HIS. I cut them out and mounted them to black 16x20 mat board, then put it in a glass frame. It was WONDERFUL! He also signed and dated it. I wish I was going to be with him on Christmas. This will be a keeper for MANY years. Thanks for your website!
