During our online lessons in the first week of term 2, we\ndid a Mondrian Heart for the ART lesson. The students first got to know about\nPiet Mondrian, a Dutch artist who was one of the first to make abstract art. Abstract\nART is made of lines, shapes and colours and it is not a picture of something\nspecific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Piet Mondrian did not use a ruler to draw his lines. He\nliked to use black, grey, white and the primary colours: red, yellow and blue.\nIn his paintings, shapes, lines and colour are used to create a visual\nrepresentation of feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After learning about Piet Mondrian\u2019s technique, students\nwere guided to create a Mondrian heart. \nThe students started off by creating squares and rectangles within the\nheart template. Then they were asked to choose a focal point which could be a\nparticular colour or space in their heart. Subsequently, students started\nadding colours to the heart. The lines were then defined using a black marker\nor black paint. Students then had the option to either stick the heart on a\nblack background or to cut the heart out or to continue using the same\ntechnique on the outside of the heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the lesson, everyone showed his work of\nart. As Pablo Picasso once said, \u2018Every child is an artist!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
