Piet Mondrian

Objective
Critique and Observe works of Art. Identify specific colors, shapes, and feelings they have.







What colors do you see? 
How does this painting make you feel?
How are these paintings the same?
How are they different?
 
Today I decided to blend both the color wheel lesson as well as some Mondrian style painting and drawing. I absolutly loved the results. The materials we used were:
-Black crayons
-White Construction paper
-tempera paint
-paint brushes
-water
I realized too late in the day that I was out of actual red so I just replaced it with Magenta. This caused some unique modifications to the colors produced. Even though it is not exactly 'Mondrian' colors, they all look beautiful and all tell such a different story. Some were dense with color, with only a few white blocks, while others were more sparse and minimal. Below are some images from the class, and further down are some examples of student work.
