I know a lot of people do their own "Kandinsky Circles," it's just a fabulous work of art that elementary students can easily produce!

This was the method I went about:

I prefolded some paper to have six squares. The students painted them in in the color of their choice.

Next was a lot of tracing and cutting! I had three sized circles as tracers for the kids to use. Each child needed 6 large, 6 medium, and 6 small circles all together. 

At first I was nervous that it would be too daunting, but the students (as usual), tried to make it a game to see who could be done first. For this project, the imperfections of the circles even works! (Did I mention that I seriously love Kandinsky Circles?)

Circles, Circles, Circles!

Prior to assembling their projects, I checked to see they had the right amount of all the circles. Before you know it, all the kids were helping me chant, "1, 2, 3, ... 18!" Boy did they feel accomplished!

 

Last was to just glue the 6 large circles in the center of the squares, then the 6 medium in the center of the circles, and the 6 small. How colorful!

 

Looks AWESOME as a display!
