Mondrian Circuits

This week, students have been learning about simple, series, and parallel electrical circuits.  Teachers showed students the painting Broadway Boogie Woogie by Piet Mondrian.  Students looked at the painting and identified the types of lines that Mondrian used (parallel, intersecting, perpendicular).  We also identified different kinds of electrical circuits that can be found in the painting.  Students then created a replication of Mondrian’s painting to either show a series or parallel circuit.  Once the art was created, students had to identify the source, loads, connectors, and whether or not the circuit was open or closed.
