Third grade students studied the art of Wassily Kandinsky, specifically his "Squares with Concentric Circles" painting. This was a great fine motor skill exercise for the students, because of all the tearing they had to do. The students first glued 6" square pieces of various colored construction paper onto 12x18" white paper. They then took 6 more pieces of square paper, folded them in half, and tore half circles (to make a whole circle once opened) until they couldn't tear any more. Starting with the largest rings (or partial rings), they glued the pieces on top of the original 6 squares, making sure to use ALL of the pieces.
