http://the-artists.org/artist/Piet-Mondrian  Piet Mondrian Our artist that we chose is Piet Mondrian. He was a famous artist that was born March 7, 1872 in Amersfoort Netherlands. He was a 20th century painter who was most famous for painting that are made up of black lines and colored rectangles to make amazing pieces of art. His early years he was a naturalistic and landscapes. After a while he discovered cubism, which he fell in love with. He was Painter who would use watercolors primarily. The type of artwork in that period at that time was Abstract Expressionism. The styles over the years that Mondrian used were pointillism, cubist, independent abstract, and neoplastic he enjoyed all of them but he was most famous for his independent abstract. Many influenced Mondrian but here are some. The Hague School, which was not a school at all, was a group of artists that lived and worked in The Hague between 1860 and 1890. Some famous artists from there were Anton Mauve, and Adolph Artz. Another person that influenced Mondrian was Pablo Picasso in his cubist days. Many people believe Picasso perfected and invented the cubist style of art. One last person that influenced Mondrian was Georges Braque who was also a famous cubist painter but also was know around the world for many other things and projects he did. There are also many interesting facts that we found about Piet Mondrian. Here are a few of our favorites. First of while he was visiting Paris for a trip because of WWI he couldn’t get back to the Netherlands which is his home country. Our last one is that he was born in the Netherlands which not that many Artist’s come from we thought that was interesting. This is our report on the famous artist Piet Mondrian.

The title of my artwork is called shapes. The reason I named shapes is because I used shapes to make it. To make my artwork I needed a pencil and many different colors of paint such as red, yellow, blue, orange, gray and black to make my project. My vision on making my artwork was to do the same thing that Piet Mondrian did but I wanted my own style to it so people would now that it was mine and only mine. I was trying to let people know that in my artwork I was impressed by the work that he did. While I was doing my painting happens was going throw my head. The experience I had with the project was good, because I enjoyed doing the project mostly because I understood all of his work and I respect him for them. Also I did like this project and yes I would do this project again. Some techniques I used were to draw it out in my sketchbook to plan out what I would do. Then after that I got all my paint and then all my paper and started to paint once I started it came to me and I just kept going. After that I did two more and then finished. To conclude I liked doing this project and hope to do it again some time and I did enjoy doing it.
