IN KANDINSKY'S WORK, he wants to alert the society in his time that there is a world that they have forgotten, which is the spiritual realm. Instead, they have chased materialism. This can be seen in the way Kandinsky plays with three dimensional form and the traditional representation of form, shadows and shape. From the right side of the painting, we can see three colorful grids accelerating into the distance, completely ignorant of the principles needed to fly in real life, namely wing-like contraptions and a source of energy. Also, the grids fly into shapes of flat color, suggesting there is space within when there is clearly none to the traditional viewer. This, by the fact that ignores rules in real life, suggests at another world in which the viewer is not bound by such physical limits. This parallels Kandinsky's aims, which is to make people notice the ever present but seldom noticed spiritual world, due to its removed nature from physical life.

- Inner necessity
- Spirituality through the colours, and lines, constructed chaos to ignite human emotions and incite a visceral response

- Explores through colours the emotions of humans

BLUE REPRESENTS SPIRITUALITY!

HE WAS INTERESTED IN MUSIC. HENCE SEEN IN HIS WORK  THE ATTEMPT TO REPLICATE OR REPRESENT THE SENSATION OR HIS EXPERIENCE OF IT WITH THE USE OF OUTSTANDING COLOUR, AMBIGUOUS FORM, MULTIPLE LAYERS AND FLUIDITY OF FORM.

(*Okay, but be careful of just drawing links between his purported synesthesia and his way of painting. Shallow argument*)

- Kandinsky's works were influenced by the musical works present in his time period.
- Influences could be seen through the use of varying geometric forms.
- Use of colour are highly contrasted and at some areas, compliment each other. (taken as an interpretation of different sounds/ musical instruments).
- use of jarring lines interrupt the painting, providing dissonance within the harmony of forms and colors.
- Groups of forms and colors are separated in different areas of the painting, forming a coherent and balanced composition, much like the sections of a music piece.

# data[].attributes.body
- This work is spiritual for Kandinsky
- He explores the depth of human emotion through a visual language of abstract forms
-  The colours used are going beyond the cultural and physical boundary

- Made use of abstraction to convey the "inner necessity" in the artists

- Through the linkage to his artwork with music, he is trying to portray the same type of image music "drawn" in people's mind.
- Left side of the art work consist of bright colours and rectangular shapes while the right is dark coloured circular shapes
-  The two sides show different influences and are meant to create different emotions in the viewer.
- This visual is merely the surface of his artwork.
- The main ideas in the painting is not only of forms and colours involved in the painting but their relationship, and relative positions on the canvas and their harmony.

This painting consists of many regular shapes and lines.
Generally divided into two parts
Right: Dominant circle in the background and smaller shapes scattered and overlapped at the foreground.
Left: Dominant rectangle with circles and intersecting lines. The rectangle and circles are apart from each other. More stand alone shapes, circle at the top center of the painting, rectangle at the spot where it is more towards the left. Lines at bottom left corner. Varied tones with greater depth showing a greater sense of depth in dark colour.

Lines concentrate inwards giving depth in the center, allowing eyes to move inwards.

Effect of overlapping shapes lead viewer into the painting

Side borders contrasting colours, vignette effect, focus on the center.

Many shapes moving in different orientation create a sense of rhythm.
Use of varied colours also create rhythm

- There is no dominance put in the work as the whole work is painted with eye catching colours.

- Thin and defined brushstrokes
- Geometry shapes forming the subject matters.
- Lines and shapes are put together in a messy manner, creating a sense of abstraction. (link)
- Visual balance created by placing subjects nearly equally on both sides of the canvas (*/describe how it occurs in the artwork, left vs right sided elements/*)

- Colour and proportion
-  artwork uses vivid, saturated, complementary colours with minor blending and transition.
- colours may or may not have coherent/geometric binding.
- brightness and saturation demands and places equal visual emphasis
- proportion doesn't contribute to a three dimensional depth/form but instead works to create visual balance, and specific importance to parts of the work

# data[].attributes.body
Kandinsky uses variation in lines and color to present his painting. the composition consists of seemingly random shapes and colors.

# data[].attributes.body
- Rough brushstrokes along the edges of the painting but thinner brushstrokes used in the geometric forms.
- solid blocks of colour
- no specific lighting within the painting. (*/mention where*/)
- Use of strict geometric forms and fluent lines
- The is a lack of foreground and background, creating a flatter depth in the artwork.

# data[].attributes.body
- Geometric form, lines
- Colour kept within geometric forms (circles, triangles, rectangles etc.)
- Colour also serves as the background where it is painted in rougher and more patchy strokes (uncontained)
- Allusion to symmetry and uniformity through the use of parallel lines
- However, lines and shapes arranged in a haphazard manner
