My Kindergarten classes were introduced to the works of Piet Mondrian. They saw everything from city streets to windows to mazes! We learned that work like this is called Abstract art. We also talked about primary colors, and horizontal & vertical lines during an interactive discussion.
Over two 30 minute class periods, students created their own artwork in the style of Mondrian. They pasted black strips on a 12x18" piece of white paper on Day 1, and then used tempera paints in the primary colors (Red, Yellow, & Blue) to fill in whichever squares they'd like that they created with their strips on Day 1. Here are some results!
- IL.25 - GOAL: Know the language of the arts.
- IL.26 - GOAL: Through creating and performing, understand how works of art are produced.
- IL.26.A.1e - Visual Arts: Identify media and tools and how to use them in a safe and responsible manner when painting, drawing and constructing.
