Students are learning about Wassily Kandinsky who was an artist and musician that had synesthesia. This occurs in about 1 in 2000 people in the world. Due to cross wiring in the brain, two senses react together at the same time in a strange way. With Kandinsky, he could hear music notes when he saw or painted with color! Pretty awesome huh!
