Mondriaan: creating an art piece with squares
We did a Mondriaan inspired art-work with 3-year olds. Before the lesson, we cut soms blue, red, yellow and black shapes.
after looking at paintings of Mondriaan with the preschoolers, the kids started working. They glued the shapes to the paper by using a glue-stick.
The results are very diverse, soms kids glued the squares next to each other, like a real Mondriaan. Others glued the shapes and created an overlap between the squares.
But the activity was not about creating the most alike 'painting', it was about the prices of looking at a painting and afterwards creating something you like with these squares.
The children were all very exited
