    Piet Mondrian is a very famous artist. He might be the most famous


    artist whose name is not known by most people. But almost everyone
    can recognize his work. We’ve all seen his work before. And we’ve
    seen his work applied to many other items too, like on furniture, and
    fabrics and wallpaper and appliances. Whenever we see a grid of black
    lines filled in with red, yellow, blue and white we’re seeing a reference
    to Piet Mondrian.
    Mondrian is remembered as being an abstract artist, which means that
    he didn’t try to paint things in the real world. He was only concerned
    with things like shapes and colors. But he didn’t start out that way.
    When he was young he painted landscapes with trees and skies. Slowly
    his landscapes became more and more abstract until nothing was left
    but straight lines and blocks of color.
    So how do we make our own Mondrian painting? Watch the video by
    GLASSDEZIGNZ if you can. We can use markers or crayons. If you have
    a ruler, use that too. It will come in handy. But if you don’t, that’s OK.
    Start by using a black marker or crayon. With the ruler make straight
    black lines that divide up your paper. Some of the lines can go all the
    way across the page, but others should stop when they meet other
    lines that you’ve already drawn. Keep going until you’ve divided the
    page into a pattern of squares and rectangles. Now, using red, yellow
    and blue, color in those squares and rectangles. Try not to use the
    same color in shapes that are next to each other. Also remember to
    leave some of the shapes white. Mondrian always kept a lot of the
    shapes white. Keep going until you’re sure that you’ve made a
    masterpiece.
