PreK's Tribute to Mondrian


Dutch painter, Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), was one of the most important artists of the 20th century. His abstract designs have had a huge influence on graphic design, architecture, and interior design. He was best known for his stylized, geometric designs of black and white grids filled with bright, primary colors. 
Although Mondrian worked with oil paint on canvas, PK students used the simple applications of line, shape, and color within a Pages document to create their own artwork in the style of Mondrian!

These are the skills they used in the lab this week:
  • Inserting shapes and lines
  • Modifying size and color of shapes
  • Modifying the thickness of lines
  • Manipulating and moving shapes and lines within a document
