Mondrian Trees by Merrimac 4/5's

Mondrian Tree by Alice


4th and 5th grade student's in Mrs. Thompson's class at Merrimac learned about the abstract work of Piet Mondrian focusing on his trees. 




  They created their own abstract tree silhouette with black paint. 


     
4/5's then colored in between the branches by blending oil pastels using either a monochromatic or an analogous color scheme.

Welcome

Welcome to the Sauk Prairie School District Art Blog!

      S.P.L.A.T. (Sauk Prairie Loves Art Talent) was created by the art teachers of Sauk Prairie to better communicate with families about what is happening in the art rooms around the district and to show off the great art that is being created by the students of Sauk Prairie. 

     Get to know the art department a little better by clicking the tabs above.  The K-5 Rubric explains what students are graded on in art. You can also meet the art teachers by clicking on the names above.

     Check back periodically for updates and pictures of the projects students are creating.  You can sign up to follow by e-mail by entering your e-mail address in the box on the lefthand column.
