The lower level classes looked at the work of Mondrian. We discussed primary colors, vertical and horizontal lines. Students did an AMAZING job using their straight edge rulers to create these lines! Next, they used their primary colors to fill in three of the shapes they created. After they were all complete students held their work up as a class to look around and see the differences and similarities in their classmates work. It was a great day in art today and wonderful to be back from the winter break!
See the beginnings of the upper level work below....





The upper level became architects today and created buildings of their own using a straight edge. For inspiration we took a look at the work of Mondrian as well as that of Frank Lloyd Wright and Frank Gehry before they began step one of a two part project.
