In the studio we are studying artists that used pattern in their art work. Piet Mondrian was a Dutch painter he specialised in geometric abstract art works using primary colours. We looked at images of Mondrians paintings using red, blue and yellow shapes. Some of the children were able to identify the shapes and colours.
The children were encouraged to use a range of materials and ways to represent their ideas involving simple shapes and primary colours. Some were able to use Duplo to recreate a 3D version of a painting. “ I’m using red, yellow, blue and white blocks but I don’t have any black , They are rectangle and square shapes” She then moved on to printing with the Duplo using primary colours.
Another child made a collage and cut out red yellow white blue and black felt. “It’s hard to cut the shapes out but I can do it myself, I think it looks really good“
The children were all deeply engaged in creating their master pieces and I think you will agree they all look amazing. Well done everyone 😍
