Mondrian Madness

Piet Mondrian's abstract paintings make a wonderful example for the use of lines, shapes and colors.  The kindergarten classes are learning about primary colors, types of lines, and basic shapes in art.  They looked at his paintings, and then used vertical and horizontal lines to create rectangles and squares on a large piece of drawing paper.  They painted a few of the shapes with primary colors.  We used washable finger paint since I am just beginning to introduce these younger artists to the art room routines.  When I asked them what the paintings remind them of, they said cities, buildings, video games, quilts, maps and playgrounds!
