The Art of Life

Today's artist was Piet Mondrian. We learnt a bit about him and then made our own version of his art. His art is red, yellow, blue and white. He uses squares and rectangles. Here's a link to a picture of his art that I found on wikipaintings. We found this project idea on this blog and did it our own way. I drew with the ruler and a black marker lots of lines. Not diagonal, just up and down and side to side. Then I coloured in blue, yellow and red and left some white. I also added a trophy on my picture. Here it is: In progress... Finished!

Hello. I've made another art. I've been learning about Louise Nevelson. Click here to see her wikipedia article. I can't find a free picture of her art, but can do a google image search and see lots of it. She did a type of sculpture called assemblages.  She assembles wood and other old junk and glues it all together. She makes sure nothing falls off and paints everything the same colour. It look really cool. It's sort of recycling. So I did a project like hers. We used the idea found here on 'art projects for kids'. Mum made the craft sticks base and we found lots of stuff around the house to glue on. Then we waited for it to dry. I decided not to paint it because I didn't think paint would go very well on some of my stuff and I like it the way it is. Here is a picture of my art. I'm going to make my own version again soon.
