Great element of art lesson I recently did

Mondrian: Shape, Color and line

Mondrian:

1. What is abstract art?

2. What do you think this painting by Mondrian:  Boogie Woogie is about? Tell me something about it?

Watch the animated video of one of Mondrian’s art works: Boogie Woogie. After watching the video: What do you think this painting is about or looks like?

Did the animation help you? The full title is Broadway Boogie Woogie I left off Broadway to see if you could guess, most references to this art piece drop the "Broadway" from the title.

In Broadway Boogie Woogie, Mondrian represents the restless motion of the city. Move the button underneath the painting from right to left to remove the hue (color), without altering the luminance (brightness).

Project: Mondrian painting

Look at the Google Earth picture of our school . If you do not have a projector Print a copy.

1. Draw all the lines that you want in Pencil you may straighten more than the real image of leave them curved depends on what feeling of motion you want.

2. Paint in sections in 3 colors Mondrian used primary colors: Red, yellow, blue, black, and white Choose 3 colors

**remember Black will be your pencil lines

3. When dry use large black marker to go over pencil lines.

Great website

  This website has saved me a couple times when either a website has been discontinued and I used it in a lesson. The site is temporarily down or I hate when they change something and it’s worse or removed something. Way Back Machine

Lesson "book" website

Over the summer I went to a google workshop and learned a little tidbit about creating an educational website page and use it like a lesson plan book. It holds all of my digital videos, pictures of examples, directions, slide shows and more. This way when I turn on my smart board or projector I only need to go to that website and click the grade and lesson I want to use for that class.  It is accessible to students through the schools homepage so students can access and review videos, directions, and I linked online games we use during class. So far it has been very successful.
