I am an art teacher in a rural school district and I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of the students I teach. When I first started this blog many years ago I had more time to write and over the last few years I haven't posted as much. Public education has been changing and I hope to offer some encouragement and support to others during the coming months. Thanks for checking in.

First Grade Complementary Colors
The first graders had fun creating this vibrant art in the style of Piet Mondrian. We studied Mondrian's art and learned that he liked to create simple designs using the primary colors and the neutral colors of white and black. We learned about horizontal and vertical lines and then we used black masking tape to create squares and rectangles on our paper in an interesting pattern. Instead of using traditional primary colors we used the complementary colors of RED and GREEN to create a beautiful holiday look. Our pictures are up down the main halls of the school, the library and the first grade hall. We hope you will come enjoy the beauty of this simple art of contrast.
