Recoloured Mondrians II


Reimagining the original. Year 1 drew their vertical and horizontal (ish) lines freehand with black oil pastels, and then used watercolour paints to fill the resulting spaces with any three colours plus white. I've tried this lesson previously with year 5, except they used rulers. You can see their versions here.

    I believe I like the freehand lines the best. Such a great idea

    I love these. Thank you for posting! I will definitely keep this one in mind to try with my 1st graders in the future! There is something amazing and indescribable about vertical and horizontal lines, huh?!
