I have been terrible about keeping up with my blog! The Tigers of room 204 have still been creating amazing things! I hope to get caught up with all the wonderful doings by these amazing third graders!
I was inspired by Pinterest, a favourite place to scour for new and interesting activities! In this art lesson we created mash-ups, combining the works of Keith Haring and Piet Mondrian.
We were exploring artists who expored with line and colour. We looked at the lines and colours of Piet Mondrian, and the expression in Keith Haring's work. Students manipulated pre-cut strips of black paper (I recommend pre-cut strips for grade 3 and under). They created squares and rectangles using the strips. They had to make descisons about where to cut and how to line up their shapes. They used rulers to help them keep their lines level.
Students were then encouraged to only use primary colours, in the style of Piet Mondrian. They could use crayon, chalk or oil pastel, pencil crayon or marker.
Then we looked at Keith Haring's work, and learned about action and movement. Students created their people, coloured, cut and added them to their 'Mondrian'.
They then added lines to show movement and direction.
