The first grade students looked at the work of Piet Mondrian. The students made observations such as Mondrian used primary colors and white. He also used black lines to separate these colors. The students then traced a heart template on a sheet of paper that had lines drawn on it already. They used primary colors to color in the squares and rectangles in their hearts. They then cut the hearts out and using pre-cut strips of black construction paper and glue covered their lines.
