After learning about Wassily Kandinsky, we drew musical instruments both from photographs and some from imagination.  Students were encouraged to draw the instruments large, keeping the arrangement of their composition in mind.  We then added color with oil pastels.  We discussed limiting our color palettes and repeating colors to unify our pieces.  In the last step, we added torn sheet music for a collage element.  These were a lot of work but were really worth it.  I am really pleased with how they turned out. : )  There is a wide age range represented here, 6-13.
