and copied that it is the most famous painting
in the world. The Louvre says that about 80
percent of its visitors come to see the painting
of Mona Lisa.
CONCENTRIC CIRCLES
PAINTED BY WASSILY KANDINSKY

shape that most of us can identify and
replicate!
Kandinsky's concentric (that's a great
vocabulary word!) circle art inspires
many of us to draw, paint, collage, and
print.
concentric means - having the same centre point
MONDRIAN'S LINES -

Mondrian's lines are perfectly tailored

that his lines create! Mondrian's
artwork is also a wonderful lead-in to a
lesson in primary colours and the
secondary colours that one can create
if they cross Mondrian's lines.

ABANINDRANATH TAGORE
One of the most iconic painting
Bharat Mata depicts a saffron clad

piece of white cloth and a garland in
her four hands. Immensely
important because of its emotional
and historical value.
