Kandinsky Tree

Quilling for kids, it's always a good idea to keep our little ones busy having fun, and this Kandinsky Tree craft ticks all the boxes!

 

In this activity, we'll be helping our little ones sharpen those fine-motor skills while making some wonderful artwork inspired by Kandinsky's Circles.

Abstract art is such a fun art style to explore with our kids, and there's no better artist for this than Kandinsky! 

Kandinsky For Kids

Kandinsky was a painter from Russia who, along with Piet Mondrian and Paul Klee, became one of the most influential artists of the 20th-century.

Although Wassily Kandinsky was a renowned law and economics professor, his interest and passion for art was the drive of his life, so much so that he abandoned his native Russia to study art in Germany at 30 years old.

 Almost all his paintings are packed with bright and vibrant colours that draw our attention immediately. This is no accident, though. Kandinsky's art was all about the study of colour. He studied and explored colour and its relationship with different light and shapes throughout his life.

Inspired by Kandinsky's love of colour we had fun creating our own 'Kandinsky Tree' using strips of coloured paper along with a printable tree outline.

STEP 1 - Download Kandinsky tree template:

Let's get started! First, scroll down below to the bottom of this post and get your hands on a copy of our free printable Kandinsky tree template. 

Print it out ontop thick paper or thin card and gather all your supplies to start this tree art project!

STEP 2  - Cut the paper strips:

Cut the coloured paper into thin and strips the width of your paper. If your kids are too young, cut the strips yourself. 

STEP 3 - Make your quilled rolls:

Now, take the strips. Roll one strip around a pencil and fasten the end with glue.

Continue by adding another strip to the first strip that's already rolled up and wrap the new strip around the pencil until you have a quilled roll of your desired size. Use lots of bright, contrasting colours.

Continue making more quilled Kandinsky-inspired rolled circles! Try to make a few in different sizes and colours to make this adorable tree even more eye-catching.

Then, grab the tree template and glue all the circles around the tree.
