Piet Mondrian and Lines

One of the first projects I do with 2nd/3rd grade is studying line directions, primary colors and Piet Mondrian. The kids love it when I dress in primary colors and don my Piet Mondrian belt. We throw in a little math and proper ruler usage to create straight lines. The verbal directions are simple, but no two project ever turn out the same: three horizontal lines, three vertical lines, three lines bold sharpie, four lines thin sharpie, two rectangles of each primary color and sign in the bottom right corner.
I have updated our Artsonia with the kids' work.

Additionally, I read the kids The Dot by Peter Reynolds and had them create Piet Mondrian dots for International Dot Day.
