Mondrian Boxes

Today we learned about the Dutch artist, Piet Mondrian.

Mondrian loved color and was inspired by the Impressionist painters.
He created bold paintings that incorporated the primary colors, as well as, horizontal and vertical lines.

We learned how to create an asymmetrical design that incorporates the principle of balance.
His work was often an inspiration to product design.
We created boxes (a useable work of art) in the style of Mondrian.
