HARNOOR-This picture looks like a bunch of things that he probably could have done while he was sleeping like he was dreaming of all this stuff. I felt like he just threw this together to make a picture. To us it does not look like he tried a lot on this picture, he was probably just trying to make some money and not be so poor and provide for his family. His imagination was really weird because if you look closely you can see faces in the bottom of the painting. he uses so many colors that its hard to keep up on what he is trying to portray to the audience. CARSON-I think it looks like some body of water, with hills and the sun. The colors are very dull yet still many different colors are used. Their is a lot of random stuff which means maybe many things is going in his life. =Second Impression= HARNOOR- Now that i have read about his life i have a better understanding about his life i can tell from this painting that it was made on the spot. When i was reading about his life it said that he makes up paintings on the spot and does not plan them ahead of time. He was a failed law professor, this is represented in the painting by theres a lot of stuff mixed around sort of like his life which was a mess at that time. Wassily did not become a professional artist till he was 30. =First Impression= Picture 2- http://www.wassilykandinsky.net/images/works/370.jpg HARNOOR-our first impression on this painting again is that he really looks like he is not really trying on this, i think this because all of the circles none of them are perfect. He again uses a lot of color and none of the circles are not the same colors. this painting also looks like he used mostly warm colors. some of the circles are thick and others are very skinny, the back rounds are also solid colors. it also looks like they each have a different amount of rings sort of like when you cut open a tree. CARSON-This color looks like their are many different views on something. Maybe its happy maybe its sad who knows. But it also looks like maybe he's aiming at many different targets and only a few are right. =Second Impression= HARNOOR- This painting was done because Wassily wanted to use the colors yellow and blue, yellow and blue from the greatest dynamic dynasty. Wassily believes that yellow can be a violent color and be painful with some aggression. He also believes that the color blue is very calm. White is one color that Wassily uses because the prefers it and it makes things look clear, white is deep with possibility. And black is just nothing without anything you can do. Red is a color that you can be very aggressive with and also passive it shows signs of livelihood. All these colors I've mentioned farbstudie quadrate.

. =First Impression:= picture 3- [] HARNOOR- This picture looks like it was probably painted in a good time of his life because he uses a lot of vibrant colors and its like a town. Another thing I noticed was that there is a triangle in the bottom of the screen and it sort of looks like a Christmas tree so maybe it could be done when the holidays were coming soon. Something of else that i noticed was that there is also a family on the road looking at something. CARSON-This picture looks like he is very happy and he has a lot to express himself about. But also their are people who are looking at him like he's an idiot. The things that are important to him stick out. =Second Impression= My second impression on this was that he made this that it was very vibrant and he uses a lot of colors sort of like his life which was many different colors. What I mean by this is that he married his cousin. I thought that was really weird. Normally. Wassily also wore glasses and maybe they were shaded and thats why this painting turned out like this. like Van Gogh he uses broken brush strokes. he uses high contrast between hot and cool colors.he uses color emotionally instead of trying to make it what he thinks.

Kandinsky, Wassily. //Know The artist wassily kandinsky //. 2003.

If you had one thing to share about your artist, what is the most important thing people to know about the artist or artwork? The thing I think people need to know most about Wassily is that he was a great artist. He also used alot of bright colors. He was influenced to use theses intense colors by fauvism.

If you had one question you would ask your artist that research didn't answer, what would it be and why? One question that i want to ask my artist would be that when you made your circle painting what was the meaning behind the circles

What would someone say about your artist/artwork? Wassily uses very futuristic colors so when the other people later on in the future will think that he was very advanced and innovated.

In evaluating your wiki,whats your strongest section and why? I think our strongest section is the mountain drawing because there was a lot of research and i had a lot of ideas and thoughts come to my head when we first took a look at this painting. another thing that i think made this our strongest painting was that there were so many colors to think about and they were bold.

whats your weakest section? we think our weakest section is that painting with the circles on it i couldnt even find the name there was like absolutely no research that i could find on it. It also was the same thing over and over again which was really boring.



http://www.wassilykandinsky.net/w First impression Carson-My first impression on this painting is that he is in a dream. It almost looks like he is dreaming of the future but it is unclear of how detail he wants the picture. Objects in the painting are out of place and are really curvy. There is also a cloud in the background almost like there is a dark place in his life. Second Impression-My second impression is that when I researched the painting in turns out this is a painting of his home painting of Moscow. He uses futuristic method in his painting to show that he wants a dream type painting. He wants it to show movement towards improvement to his city and also he uses the wavy pattern to confuse the interpreter and make him think harder. He uses cold colors in his painting and a broken brush stroke.

Blue mountain poster CARSON-My first expression was that he is maybe moving somewhere with his family from a bad place to a good place. Maybe there was some hardship on the way there because there is a blue mountain. Maybe it took him a long time to get to where he is because horses move slow. Also there really only a few colors in the picture. HARNOOR- This looks like a painting on which he used a lot of dots because throughout the whole painting there’s a lot of dots. Another thing I noticed was that there is a lot of horses of the color white and people riding them maybe over the blue and red mountains to go to war with a rival clan. There is really also no main color. Second Impression Carson-It reflects in Kandinsky’s favoritism in Fauvism which he wanted to do as a young boy. It also represents where he was born in Russia. He loved to use heavy lines as shown in the picture. Also he liked to use vivid colors in his paintings and painted landscapes. The way he painted was not just from the meaning of the painting but of what he felt. He also used expressionism in his painting which meant he had no motive in the painting but it was based of his expression of the painting. http://www.wassilykandinsky.net/w

 http://www.wassilykandinsky.net/w CARSON-In this picture it looks like there a happy family living in a good home. But also there is dark times around because it is cold. There is also a nice path that is leading up to the house. Maybe it is a goal and that is the path he must take. HARNOOR- the main color of this picture is blue. And it’s also snowing I know this because the white dots probably represent the snow that’s falling on the ground. If you look past the house and you can see a city behind it with all the lights on. This painting was also making it look like its dawn because the sun is also just coming up. Second Impression Carson-He is known for using thin trunks in his painting including the Blue Mountain. Also there is bright colors which is based on his emotions and how he feels mentally about the painting. When he paints he doesn’t want it to be so obvious on what his motive is behind the painting. He likes to put little hidden signs that show us about how he wanted to see our painting. The bright colors indicate that he was in a good mode and life was going well with him. http://www.wassilykandinsky.net/w The strongest part in our wiki is our first impression because we were very good at interpreting what the painting meant and what he was feeling when he was typing. Our weakest part of our wiki was the second impression because we were not able to find a lot of information on Wassily Kandinsky and his painting.
