Linear Sculpture Project: • Create a freestanding linear sculpture balanced by planes of color. Objectives: • Design a freestanding sculpture using 50-75 sticks. Make thumbnail sketches of several ideas first. • You may choose to design a modular unit using 2-4 sticks. Construct as many modular units as possible with your sticks. Then assemble your sculpture from all of the modules. • Spray paint the sculpture if desired. • Add paper to select areas to create planes. Look at Piet Mondrian’s paintings as a source of inspiration. Consider how these solid planes will create movement and balance throughout your sculpture. • Show awareness of sculpture vocabulary: Line, Plane, Positive/Negative Space, Balance, Movement/Rhythm, Repetition, Module, Geometric

Linear SculptureProject: • Create a freestanding linear sculpture balanced by planes of color.
Objectives:• Design a freestanding sculpture using 50-75 sticks. Make thumbnail
sketches of several ideas first.• You may choose to design a modular unit using 2-4 sticks.
Construct as many modular units as possible with your sticks. Then assemble your sculpture from all of the modules.
• Spray paint the sculpture if desired.• Add paper to select areas to create planes. Look at Piet Mondrian’s
paintings as a source of inspiration. Consider how these solid planes will create movement and balance throughout your sculpture.
• Show awareness of sculpture vocabulary: Line, Plane, Positive/Negative Space, Balance, Movement/Rhythm, Repetition, Module, Geometric

Piet Mondrian
Piet Mondrian radically simplified the elements of his artwork in an effort to reflect what he believed to be the order underlying the visible world. In his ground breaking paintings of the 1920s, Mondrian strictly limited his color palette to black, white, and the three primary colors: red, yellow, and blue.
Key Ideas about Mondrian:
• Mondrian equated art with the spiritual. He simplified his work, searching to
reveal the essence of the spiritual energy in the balance of forces that
governs nature and the universe.
• Mondrian attempted to represent the world through vertical and horizontal
lines which to him represented the two opposing forces: the positive and the
negative, the dynamic and the static, the masculine and the feminine.
• His work progressed from traditional representation to complete abstraction.
