Summer Learning Journey - Celebrating Summer - Week 6 Day 3 - Mondrian

 Kia Ora bloggers! For the Kick Start I had to make my own Mondrian Art. And for the Step It Up I had to make another art and find the areas and fractions of that piece of art.

Here is my first art:

 

I learnt that Piet Mondrian moved to Paris where he met Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso then he moved back to the Netherlands. He calls the art he did before he past, 'Neoplasticiam'. the thing that was challenging was that I didn't know what pattern to do so I just did a easy one. The thing that was easy was to just three colours instead of doing so many different colours.

Here is my second art:


 

Here is my maths: 

Key: 1 square = 1 cm

Area:
Blue: 61 cm
Red: 42 cm
Yellow: 44 cm
White: 77 cm

Fractions:
Blue: 1/4 of the whole square
Red: 1/6
Yellow: 1/4
White: 1/3

The thing that was challenging was to try and get a different pattern to the one above but I just did the colours differently. The thing that was easy was I just placed the colours anywhere.

Hope you enjoyed today's task!

  2. Hi Maddison

    Another great maths activity. I had not heard of Mondrian art before reading your post. You have done a great job recreating these pieces. I like how you were able to describe the challenges that you had.

    Awesome blog

    1. Kia Ora Mum,
      I had a lot of fun doing this task. Until this task, I had not ever heard of Mondrian before.
      Love you, Mum
