Kandinsky

Colors and Shapes Kandinsky felt that he could express feelings and music through colors and shapes in his paintings. For example, he thought that yellow had the crisp sound of a brass trumpet and that certain colors placed together could harmonize like chords on a piano. The shapes he was most interested in were the circle, triangle, and the square. He thought the triangle would cause aggressive feelings, the square calm feelings, and the circle spiritual feelings.

Let's Reflect!
What lines or certain shapes work well with the music? Why do you think they work well? How do dark lines create a different feeling that light lines? Curvy vs. straight? What do the colors contribute to the mood?
