Mondrian and Primary Colors

Kindergarten classes learned about the artist Piet Mondrian.
We talked about how he used STRAIGHT LINES (vertical and horizontal). We learned how he only painted with PRIMARY COLORS: red, yellow, and blue (or ketchup, mustard, and sky... a fun way to remember the primary colors ;) )


To get the straight lines, the students traced a rectangle template, turning it different ways to create different sizes of squares and rectangles. 

After creating our lines, the students chose different shapes to color. Remembering to only use our primary colors!



I love how their projects all turned out different. 
Some students chose to color a lot and some only colored a little. 
This project was a great way to learn about different types of lines, primary colors, and a famous artist!


Keep Creating!
