Oak Lodge School for Deaf Children present “The Colour of Music”, a Year long project focusing on the work by Russian Artist Wassily Kandinsky and his musical influences. This highly successful project aimed to facilitate Deaf students enjoyment and understanding of Music through the study of Kandinsky’s Abstract paintings. Kandinsky’s work is implicitly linked to music and thus provided an excellent springboard for creative learning.
