cool color groups to design a background for their Andy Warhol inspired handprint compositions. Throughout the unit students also practiced cutting, gluing, tracing and drawing skills. Next, students created large scale work based on the art of Piet Mondrian. Mondrian’s work can be easily recognized by his use of only primary colors and geometric shapes. For this unit, students carefully crafted a composition using a variety of shapes and lines. In the upcoming weeks, students will begin work on a
