Paint & Colour in 3rd & 4th with Piet Mondrian
This month our art lessons are all about paint and colour and in maths we are learning about line and 2-D shapes so Piet Mondrian is the perfect artist of the month for us!

Today they tried out making their own Mondrian piece playing with lines (vertical and horizontal) and making both squares and rectangles on their pages. Then using the primary colours only, they had some fun brightening up their pictures. Check out the pictures below!
