Gan Gimmel Learns About Colors and Parshat Noach
Gan Gimmel has been learning about Parshat Noach. After the rain, came a rainbow. We learned about primary and secondary colors this week and are discussing the color wheel.
One of the highlights of Yavneh Kindergarten is our Art History unit. The natural progression from learning about primary colors was to introduce our first artist, Piet Mondrian in our art history program.
Piet Mondrian was a Dutch artist who is most famous for his works of art featuring primary colors intersected by vertical and horizontal black lines. Gan Gimmel art enthusiasts got a chance to admire many pieces of his work and to also look at different works inspired by Mondrian, like Lego creations, clothing, shoes, jewelry and buildings. Mondrian is known as one of the most popular modern geometric artists. The children then created their own bold and beautiful collages in his style.
