Piet Mondrian: Primary Colors

  • Dutch painter Piet Mondrian believed he had distilled the fundamental attributes of art in his paintings: straight lines, rectangles, white, black and the primary colors. He made many paintings incorporating only these elements in different configurations.
  • Pre-K kids began the year learning about these paintings by Mondrian. It was an excellent opportunity to be introduced to the primary colors. As a side project while creating these pictures students used watercolors to make color wheels with only primary colors.
