Kindergarten Mondrian Compositions

Kindergarten students observed work created by Piet Mondrian, as well as artwork that has been inspired by Mondrian's work.  We looked at "Composition II in Red, Blue, and Yellow".  We observed how the composition only used vertical and horizontal lines.  We also discussed how he only used three colors, which are the primary colors.  The students then created a Mondrian like composition by position a variety of lines onto white paper.  The students then chose one section to paint in red, one section to paint in yellow, and one section to paint in blue.
