Piet Mondrian Inspired Collage

Children's House students, my newest little artists, had a great time creating their collages inspired by Piet Mondrian.  Piet was a Dutch painter who eventually came to America, settling in New York City.  Piet created simple compositions, utilizing lines to create a grid-like system, inspired by the city he had moved to.  Students also noticed that Piet used a lot of red, yellow, and blue in his work, which lead us to a discussion about primary colors.  We loved listening to some smooth jazz music, just like Piet would have listened to, while creating our colorful artwork.
