NEWSPRINT KANDINSKY ART

What Is Newsprint?

Newsprint is made from pine, fir, spruce, or other softwood trees in a mechanical pulp mill. The trees are debarked and chipped before being turned into wood pulp.

Publishers and printers like newsprint because it is cheap to make, strong, and can accept four-color printing at qualities that meet the needs of typical newspapers.

Who was Wassily Kandinsky

Wassily Kandinsky is a famous artist born in 1866 in Russia, and who then lived in Germany and France. 

Kandinsky is often credited with being the pioneer of abstract art. Abstract art changes shape, form, color, and line to create art that doesn’t look recognizable.

Artists like Kandinsky use art to express their feelings and emotions, usually through the bold use of line and color.

Kandinsky circles are a great example of abstract art. Kandinsky used a grid composition and within each square, he painted concentric circles, meaning that the circles share a central point.

He believed the circle had symbolic significance relating to the mysteries of the cosmos, and he used it as an abstract form.
