n a colorful fusion of creativity and technology, students from Greece, Turkey, Croatia, and Slovenia are joining forces in a unique international project that brings the abstract art of Wassily Kandinsky to life through coding with Scratch. Part of the eTwinning initiative, this collaborative effort celebrates both artistic expression and digital innovation, while fostering meaningful connections between young learners across Europe.
🌍 Four Countries, One Vision
Despite their different languages and cultures, students from these four countries share a common goal: to explore Kandinsky’s abstract world and interpret it through interactive Scratch projects. This cross-border collaboration shows how art and technology can speak a universal language, encouraging creativity, teamwork, and mutual understanding.
🎯 Why Kandinsky and Scratch?
Kandinsky’s vibrant, abstract compositions are perfect for sparking the imagination. By using Scratch, a beginner-friendly coding platform, students aged 10–15 can animate shapes, play with colors, and even add music or sound effects—just like Kandinsky did in his own synesthetic way.
The project isn’t just about copying his style—it’s about reinterpreting his vision through modern tools, making coding an artistic playground where logic meets emotion.
🤝 Collaboration in Action
Each school brings its own flavor to the project:
-
🇬🇷 Greece contributes with storytelling elements in their Scratch projects, blending myth and modern art.
-
🇹🇷 Turkey adds cultural motifs and music, reflecting the rhythm and pattern of Kandinsky’s style.
-
🇭🇷 Croatia explores interactive games inspired by geometric abstraction.
-
🇸🇮 Slovenia focuses on digital galleries, showcasing students' creations in virtual exhibitions.
Students communicate through eTwinning forums, share progress in online meetings, and even give feedback on each other's work. This international dialogue not only improves their English skills but also builds respect, empathy, and cultural awareness.
🎓 More Than Just an Art Project
This project goes beyond visual appeal. It builds critical skills like:
-
🧠 Problem-solving through coding logic
-
🎨 Artistic expression via digital design
-
💬 Communication and collaboration across borders
-
🕒 Time management with real deadlines and teamwork
Each activity is designed to be age-appropriate, engaging, and educationally rich—tailored to suit different school systems, resources, and time zones.
📢 What’s Next?
The final phase includes a virtual exhibition of the students' Scratch projects and a collaborative reflection session where they’ll discuss what they learned—about art, coding, and each other. Teachers will also evaluate the results, not just by the quality of the code or the aesthetics, but by how deeply students connected to the process and each other.
