Mondrian Masterpieces


Kindergartners are learning about the Primary Colors (red, yellow and blue) and will paint a 12"x18" representational piece like artist Mondrian. We will review straight lines: up-and-down, side-to-side and the children will draw 3 up-and-down lines and 2 side-to-side lines on their paper. They will use tempera paint for the primary colors and tracing their lines. Please remember that the paint does NOT always like to wash out of clothes-PLEASE PROVIDE AN ART SHIRT OR SMOCK FOR YOUR CHILD!!! I cannot provide a class set due to health concerns of children (lice, etc.).

Piet Mondrian is a Dutch painter, born in the Netherlands (1872-1944), and is known for his non-representational paintings of a grid of horizontal and vertical lines and the use of primary colors.
