Mondrian Painings by Class JC

Class JC (Years 1 and 2) have been painting in the style of Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. He was born in 1872 and died in 1944. Below is a photo of him aged 27. He started his grid based paintings in 1919 and his style became world famous. It is still used in fashion and design today - see the shoes and dress below.





The video below shows the Mondrian paintings of all the children in Class JC. You can see some of them in the corridor display area near the school office.
