5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Prek

I teach a prek class. This book was perfect for our famous artist study. It's short and to the point but shows off various features of Piet's art. I will definitely be buying the rest of the series for the other artists I teach about.

5.0 out of 5 stars Piet Mondrian and This Series Make Abstract Art Accessible
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2022
Verified Purchase
I was impressed with this book and its approach to abstract art and Piet Mondrian. The information about the artist was interesting, but my favorite part was the fascinating art he created. It truly is more than just boxes and rectangles and lines. The arrangement and colors used were deliberate and thought out.

I have to say that am hooked on the series! It takes a totally different format than most children's art history books. The author is the narrator, and so Mondrian is talking directly to the child/reader, revealing bits of information about his life, but the child is first shown a piece of a painting. Then, something is discussed about the painting, such as how he used boxes and specific colors to create certain effects.

Then, the child sees the entire painting on the next page. This technique is ingenious because seeing an entire painting first can be overwhelming because there is so much to take in visually. By showing one piece, the viewer can really appreciate one technique, such as color usage or brushstrokes that are used. The page with the closeup of the yellow and blue swirls provides an opportunity to guess about what the whole painting has on it and what it's about. No one would guess that it was a seashore!

Not only do we learn bite-sized, manageable pieces of information about the artist and the paintings, but we also get to extend the learning by answering the questions about two paintings at the end of the book. My child's favorite part was the craft activity at the end that allows the child to become an artist and use Mondrian and his paintings as inspiration for two different activities that are hands-on at the end of the book. I definitely recommend this series.

We enjoyed this book from the Meet the Artists series. Piet Mondrian is a well-known abstract artist so his work is colorful and fun to examine. Throughout the book, readers can be exposed to some of his most famous pieces and see how simple geometric shapes can make something meaningful!

This really cute book explains abstract art in a way a first grader can appreciate. I liked all the questions and closeups; it was a good way to talk about both colors and some basic art concepts.

It’s a very good book for kids. My baby enjoys looking at the paintings in a whole page with very little text. The only thing I didn’t like is the quality of the paper and the print. It’s not bad, but could be better.
