Genesis 2:7 (NLT)
"Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person."

Art carries something that does not fade. It carries the mark of its creator...life has been breathed into it. Art is imbued with this life by its creator - in creating art, we imitate our Creator who first breathed life into us.

2nd Grade Project: Piet Mondrian - Cut Paper Compositions

Students again were focused on the work of Piet Mondrian.  In this project we approached his Neoplasticism in a different way: cut paper.  The 2nd graders used pre-cut black strips as well as primary color squares and rectangles of various sizes to create their Mondrian inspired compositions.


Students were given the freedom to choose how and where to place their lines and colors.  These choices resulted in a widely varied and extremely colorful collection of work.
