To increase the skill level for the Anna McDonald students, the concept of parallel lines was introduced. They were asked to first create a grid (using those parallel lines) with their thin black strips and then fill spaces in between the lines with the colored shapes. These would all look awesome hanging in windows!
ACCESS students watched a short animated video of Piet Mondrian at work. Since music inspired much of his later work, music was important to this lesson! At Wilson Creek, we discussed favorite colors and then introduced primary colors. They used contact paper and pre-cut shapes to create their own Mondrian-inspired artwork. A second sheet of contact paper was used to seal up the work.
