Last week, students were introduced to famous artist, Piet Mondrian, a Dutch painter from Holland. We discussed the simplicity of his art: use of straight lines to create squares and rectangles and the PRIMARY COLORS. Students learned that the primary colors are: red, yellow and blue. They know that the primary colors make the other colors of the rainbow. Students compared Mondrian's art to Kandinsky's art too. They thought Kandinsky's art was "crazy" compared to Mondrian's.
For this lesson, students had to:
1. Draw 4 up and down lines
2. Draw 3 side to side lines
(By drawing these, students created lots of squares and rectangles)
3. Paint one shape red, one yellow and one blue making sure none of their colors touched.
4. Paint one shape black.
This coming week, students will glue black construction paper lines to the top of their pencil lines.
