Kandinsky

Kandinsky heard sounds everyone he went. In music we call those Found Sounds.

When we read the book, see if you can identify some of the Found Sounds he heard in his environment.

Read the Noisy Paintbox (10 minutes)

Discussion: What are the sounds that he heard in his environment referenced in the book?

Create a piece inspired by art

Small groups – have them create their own- work
