For the month of October we are studying Piet Mondrain. We used our knowledge about measuring to create shapes at different lengths. Then we glued them on to our cube to create a Mondrain type sculpture. 6 students won the chance to take these piece of works home with them. You can make one at home with a Kleenex box and colored paper. Don't forget to measure out some shapes for some art/math fun!!!
We studied Jackson Pollock for the month of September. In that month we used his art to write narrative stories, explore force and motion and create math problems. We used his drops of paint to solve story problems using 2 one digit numbers and 3 one digit numbers. For example: Jackson painted 4 spots. He painted 2 spots. He then painted 1 spot. How many spots does he have?
Have fun enjoying our interpretation of Jackson Pollock.
