He first earned respect in the art world with his Happenings. 

In 1962 Dine's work was included, along with Andy Warhol and Wayne Thiebaud, in the historically important and ground-breaking gallery show:  New Painting of Common Objects.

This exhibition is historically considered one of the first "Pop Art" exhibitions in America. 

These painters started a movement, in a time of social unrest, which shocked America and the Art world and changed modern Art forever, "Pop Art".

In the early 1960s Dine produced pop art with items from everyday life. These provided commercial as well as critical success

Shrinky Dink Lines with Piet Mondrain

Why do we need it in art?

Can we have any art without line?

Let’s name some lines and give examples from nature:

Zig Zag Line where do we see it ? mountains

Sqiggle line? Tornado

Wavy line: in the ocean

Straight line: roads

Diagonal lines hard rain with winds

Color: black white are nuetrals

Primary colors are what?

What does it mean to be primary?

What cool thing do these colors do?

ARTIST: Piet  Mondrian

(1872 – 1944)

He was a Dutch painter.

He was an important contributor to the De Stijl art movement and group

He evolved a form that consisted of white ground, upon which was painted a grid of vertical and horizontal black lines and the three primary colors.[1]

he termed his artwork Neo-Plasticism

In his most famous works: The black lines are the flattest elements, with the least amount of depth. 

The colored forms have the most obvious brush strokes, all running in one direction. Most interesting, however, are the white forms, which clearly have been painted in layers, using brush strokes running in different directions. 

This generates a greater sense of depth in the white forms, as though they are overwhelming the lines and the colors, which indeed they were.

Example of his work below

Project: create Mondrain style shrinky dinks (9:30-10:15)

Step1: using the large circle piece first create a Mondrain style art piece

Step2: start with black lines first a couple up and down

Step3: now draw a couple side to side

Step4: using only primary colors begin to fill in a couple of the squares

Step5: color in all remaining squares white

Step5: using the squares and odd shaped pieces of shrinky dinks create 4 more

               Pieces for using only black ,white and primary colors

Step6: Shrink all pieces of art.

MATERIALS:

Shrinky dinks ($5.50 for ten sheets at Michaels each child would get ½ sheet)

Colored pencils

Hemp string to make necklaces

Beads to fill in between the shrinky dinks.
