The students have been learning about Piet Mondrian, who was in pursuit of a balanced painting using only white, black, and the primary colors. This goes perfectly with our study of primary colors and lines! The students created a Piet Mondrian painting using black strips of paper that created horizontal or vertical lines. Then they added the primary colors (the tricky part was cleaning their brush well enough that they didn't accidentally get secondary colors-- that's our next project!)
