Children not only study painting, graphics, and different artistic methods, but they also discover ideas that touch on architecture, history, geography, literature, and music through visual arts. ✨💗

Thank you for our wonderful 2024. We feel grateful for everything! ✨
Come on 2025, we look forward to meeting you soon 🤸🏼♀️🎉💗
In our final lesson of our Fall semester, some students put the finishing touches on their projects from previous classes, while others enjoyed the creative game “Exquisite Corps.” This delightful game, cherished by Surrealist artists in the 1920s, allowed us to create collaborative compositions by taking turns drawing on a folded sheet of paper. It was a joy to see their creativity and teamwork in action!
Children also pieced together a puzzle of Kandinsky’s painting “Composition X”, a fitting tribute to the vibrant and dynamic art we’ve explored together.
As we prepare to showcase all their wonderful works to their parents, I am filled with joy and gratitude. Thank you, young artists, for your enthusiasm, creativity, and dedication. You have made this semester truly special!
Looking forward to more artistic adventures in the future. 💗

Wassily Kandinsky. Composition X. Puzzle. Kids (age 9-13).
Kandinsky compared abstract painting to the process of musical composition, and called his major conceptual works “compositions”, as opposed to his lesser “improvisations”. Unusually for Kandinsky, who attached spiritual importance to color and geometric forms, the predominant color of the painting is black, which for him evoked the closure and end of things. On the black background float various geometric shapes, whose meaning is left to the viewer’s appreciation.
