Kindergarten's Response to Piet Mondrian's - Broadway Boogie Painting


Piet Mondrian - Broadway Boogie

The conventional or easy way to teach Mondrian's use of color in this classic painting would be to give students only the primary colors, black and white to use and ask them to create perfect geometric shapes. In this lesson I spoke with the students about what a city is like, how it sounds and how, especially in New York City, things are constantly moving. I wanted the students to use what ever colors they felt a connection with then to use the energy you would find in the city to come out in their drawings. You can see how each student blended their oil pastels differently and strongly.
