Discuss Kandinsky's paintings:
1. What was the subject of his work?
The subject of Kandinsky's paintings often revolved around the idea of the apocalypse and the book of revelation in the bible (of which he took great inspiration from). Kandinksky also wanted to use his artwork as a tool to promote art through his unique use of color.
2. Describe the kind of painting he did?
Kandinsky often painted many spiritual scenes. He commonly used the images of the angel and the trumpet, the saints, the city on a hill, St. George and the dragon, and the troika in many of his paintings. Early in his painting career Kandinsky created more vivid paintings, but as he progressed as an artist he began moving into more abstract creations.
3. Discuss synesthesia.
The dictionary defines synesthesia as sensation in one part of the body which produces a stimulus in another. However, in art synesthesia is a condition in which several sensory functions are blended together. For example, an synesthetic might describe a food as tasting "yellow" or say that a pattern is loud or soft.
