Kindergarten- Mondrian

We looked at artwork by Piet Mondrian. We discussed different types of lines including horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and curve. We discussed how Mondrian only used horizontal and vertical; students drew both of these lines on their paper. We then colored in some squares using our favorite colors.

With this lesson I also teach a line song. The tune is to Frère Jacques:
Horizontal, horizontal, side to side, side to side,
Vertical is up and down, vertical is up and down,
diagonal, diagonal.
