Mondrian Contrast Designs
Students studied the paintings of Abstract Artist Mondrian and his use of lines, patterns, colors, and shapes. Then students created a grid using markers and filled the sections with colorful patterns. We then created contrast by tracing our hands and creating a box of black and white versions of the color patterns.
