Step 2: Apply the watercolour paints.

If your Arty Crafty Kids are using watercolours, there are a couple of ways to apply the paints.

They can experiment with the wet-on-wet application, whereby a small layer of water is spread across the paper first with the paints mixed on top.

Alternatively, or as well as, they can mix water directly with the paints.

The amount of water used will alter the vibrancy of the colour i.e. less water will create bolder colours; more water will produce lighter shades and are more likely to blend with the surrounding colours on paper.

Step 3: Fill the hearts with contrasting colours or/and lighter/darker shades of one.

Fill the empty square space with colour. This could be one block colour or something else.

    Kadinsky’s Squares with Concentric Circles

    Heart Art Projects inspired by Kadinsky's Squares with Concentric Circles

    Wassily Kandinsky is generally credited as the pioneer of abstract art.

    In 1913 Kadinsky created Squares with Concentric Circles, perhaps, Kandinsky’s most recognizable work, is not actually a full-fledged picture.

    This drawing is a small study on how different colour combinations are perceived that the painter used in his creative process as a support material.

    For Kandinsky, colour meant more than just a visual component of a picture. Colour is its soul.

    In his books, he described his own perspective on how colours interacted with each other and with the spectator in detail and very poetically.

    Moreover, Kandinsky was a synaesthete, i.e. he could ‘hear colours’ and ‘see sounds.’
