Grid Paintings in the Style of Piet Mondrain

Our artists in training kicked off their unit on Abstract art with Piet Mondrian.  He was a Dutch painter who was born in 1872. During his lifetime he traveled to France, England and eventually he settled down in New York.  At one time, Mondrian painted realistic landscapes, but as he painted more and more, his style began to change. The more Mondrian looked at trees, buildings, and vases, the more he saw their basic shapes and colors. Eventually, Mondrian's style consisted of geometric shapes and primary colors.   We made paintings in the Style of Mondrian using construction paper, glue and black paint.
