Playing with Mondrian Art

After being introduced to Piet Mondrian's artwork, we were challenged to create our own kindergarten inspired versions. 

First, we looked closely at the different elements in these paintings. We learned that Piet Mondrian used the Primary Colours for his colour palette. (Red, Blue and Yellow)  We also noticed that his work is made up of lines, squares and rectangles.

Keeping these things in mind, we started to play with different objects and materials found in the kindergarten room.

We played with glass beads, blocks, lego, sticks, dominoes, rocks, paper, unifix cubes, paint and coloured cellophane to help us make our own Mondrian inspired piece of transient art. 

Once we were happy with our creation, we took a picture to document our learning and then we cleaned up the pieces.
