Mix and match with Mondrian

What do you need?

  • white sheet 21 by 21 cm
  • black sheet 23 bij cm
  • paper strips 3 by 6 cm in yellow, red and blue
  • black squares 3 by 3 cm
  • glue

I did this lesson in grade 5, students worked in pairs. The figures are cut  before class. Per artwork you need 4 black squares and 16 colored rectangles. Students from higher groups can measure and cut the figures themselves. 

What should you do?
  1. Make a composition of 4 squares, each consisting of 4 colored rectangles and a black square in the middle. No two of the same colors next to each other!
  2. Paste the composition on the white sheet with a small edge visible around each shape. 
  3. Paste the artwork on a black sheet. 
It was a difficult task and not everyone succeeded! 

Artworks made by students of grade 3.
