Reverting back to a good-ole staple in my Kindergarten curriculum! We did these Mondrian collages as a review of cutting and gluing, but also of geometric shapes, with corresponds with the Common Core math standards in kindergarten (identifying shapes). Another thing that corresponds with those math standards? Vertical and horizontal lines! Boy, if you could have seen the shock on my face when I presented Mondrian to the students. I asked the question, "What do you notice about the lines that Mondrian uses?" and the first response I received was "They are vertical and horizontal!" WOW!
I'm not going to get into how we created these because I've posted about it in the past. You can also read up on how I've used Mondrian in previous projects here.
Welcome to Art Room 104! Well, I no longer teach in room 104...it's now room 309, but the heart is still there! I have now transitioned into teaching 7th-12th grades, and my focus is now moving towards Choice Based Learning in the art room. Join me on my journey as I enter new territory, experiment, and share how I fit it all into the realm of Common Core!
