Mrs. Merrell's first graders at Willowville Elementary studied the artist Mondrian as well as the primary colors this week by painting in his style. They set up their papers carefully creating vertical and horizontal lines with paper strips. They discovered that when the lines criss-crossed they made shapes such as squares and rectangles. The final step was to use the primary colors to fill in the shapes. When the first graders were finished they had masterpieces similar to Piet Mondrian. They also created abstract paintings that focused on line, shape and color (3 of the elements of art that we studied this school year.)
