MONDRIAN ART

Take it outside!

Recreate a

Mondrian with

sidewalk chalk.

Using masking tape,

outline a large

rectangle. Subdivide

it into other smaller

rectangles and

squares. Color it in

with sidewalk chalk.

Then pull off the

tape. And voila!

You've created a

neighborhood art

gallery.
