Piet Mondrian
Lesson Content Objective(s):
I will learn about Artist Piet Mondrian.
I will learn about Non-Representational art.
I will learn about Geometric Shapes.
Artist: Piet Mondrian was a Dutch painter and an important contributor to the De Stijl art movement, which was founded by Theo van Doesburg. Despite being well-known, often-parodied, and even trivialized, Mondrian's paintings exhibit a complexity that belie their apparent simplicity. The non-representational paintings for which he is best known, consisting of rectangular forms of red, yellow, blue, or black, separated by thick, black, rectilinear lines, are actually the result of a stylistic evolution that occurred over the course of nearly thirty years, and which continued beyond that point to the end of his life.
Lesson Language Objective(s):
I can learn about line, shape, and color by creating rectangle and squares.
I can learn about variety by creating many different colors and shapes.
I can learn about emphasis
Vocabulary:
Variety: the interesting effect created when one element is different from other elements in an artwork.
Rhythm: the visual beat created by the regular repetition of elements in an artwork.
Lines- Marks that go from one point to another and that can be thin, thick, straight, curved, or zigzag.
De Stijl: was posited on the fundamental principle of the geometry of the straight line, the square, and the rectangle, combined with a strong asymmetricality; the predominant use of pure primary colors with black and white; and the relationship between positive and negative elements in an arrangement of non-objective forms and lines
Resources/materials: marker, ruler
Instructional Plan:
Engage: Look at Piet Mondrian's artwork discuss where they see line, shape, color, value, contrast, and emphasis.
Explore: Watch video about Piet Mondrian. https://safesha.re/33hy
Explain: Show how to create a Mondrian shapes.
Elaborate:
Using a ruler, students will create squares and rectangles on their paper.
Students will then color in their picture trying to stay in their lines make a picture similar to Piet Mondrian.
Assessment:
Evaluate: Students add their picture to artsonia and create an artist statement.
