Be Inspired by Mondrian Now it is your turn to create a Mondrian inspired piece. Remember to title your art and write your name on your artwork! We will use squares, rectangles and straight lines in primary colors (red, yellow and blue) as well as white and black for our pieces. Once you have planned out your design we can start to glue the pieces down. It is ok if they overlap and remember with glue “A DOT IS A LOT.”
