Mondrian Trees


  Trees in the Style of Piet Mondrian--
The 4th/5th graders drew trees to complement their studies in Science class. 
How can line be used creatively to make a stylized picture?  How can we capture a mood using color?  How can oil pastels be used effectively?  These are the questions we will explore during this unit.  Theyhad a color mixing and blending review.  They learned to use line creatively and made stylized art.

Welcome to Art is Basic. I am a K-6 art teacher in Madison, WI. I hope these lessons inspire you to try some artwork with your own children or will help you find new lessons for your classroom. I believe that art is a basic part of a child's educational experience. Creative thinking should be a core objective in all schools. Art is a basic means of expression for people in all cultures throughout all of history. If you use any of these ideas and write about them, please link back to this blog. The images and text on this blog should not be used without permission.
