We learned about Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. He liked to create grids and fill them with primary colors (red, yellow and blue) as well as white and black. We tried to balance the visual weight of the colors and had fun deciding where to put each color. We did the same by creating our own grids with a ruler. We used oil pastels to add color to our art. Below are some images of works in progress.
