This document provides materials and instructions for a lesson on primary and secondary colors. The objectives are to differentiate primary colors (red, yellow, blue) from secondary colors (colors made by mixing primary colors) and to learn about the abstract artist Piet Mondrian and his use of primary colors and geometric shapes. Students will use paint, felt tip pens, plastic plates and cups to create their own artworks mixing primary and secondary colors in squares and rectangles like Mondrian's style. Links to online color wheel activities and a video on Mondrian's evolution are also included.
