Click here for a Piet Mondrian bio.
- First, we drew lines on heart templates with pencils and rulers.
- Then, we painted in our shapes.
- When the paint was dry we cut out our hearts and glued them onto black construction paper.
- We then glued down black strips of paper to cover our pencil lines.
- Finally, we cut our hearts again, leaving a black border.
