This lesson (first picture) is inspired by Piet Mo This lesson (first picture) is inspired by Piet Mondrian’s famous abstract compositions from the 1920s and 1930s. At first glance, Mondrian’s paintings might seem simple: black lines forming a grid, filled with rectangles of red, blue, and yellow. But Mondrian believed that a perfect arrangement of line and color could create harmony, like a visual piece of music. 

When you begin exploring his techniques through creating your own art piece, you can see for yourself that there is more to his work than meets the eye! Find this lesson and more in our GeomARTry course to get started today! 🎨
