Theo van Doesburg (1883-1931) was a Dutch painter, architect and writer. He was charmed by the abstract art of Kandinsky and the cubism of Picasso. In 1917 he founded the magazine De Stijl (The Style), in which he and other artists could publish their innovative ideas. Well-known artists who also belong to De Stijl are Piet Mondriaan, Bart van der Leck and Gerrit Rietveld.
Characteristics of the Stijl artists:

Painting without using your hands is quite a challenge! You can paint with your feet or mouth. We tried both.
Painting with your feet
Put tables aside, newspapers on the floor and stick drawing sheets on top. Very important: take off the shoes in the hallway and leave them there 😀
Place a container with three colors tempera paint between two students. A beautiful portrait is too much, so ask them to paint simple lines or shapes.
Painting with your mouth
This is less difficult. Cover the tables with newspapers. Place jars with diluted water color paint and brushes. Students may paint what the want. You may also give them a simple goal: paint rectangles in different colors.

Art Noveau was mainly applied to everyday products (for emample furniture, glassware, jewellery), in architecture, graphic art and painting. Artists were inspired by nature: patterns with birds, flowers, plants. clouds, rocks, women. Graceful moving lines express emotion.
Famous Art Nouveau artists are Alphonse Mucha, Gustav Klimt, Gaudi, Berlage.
You need:
Show pictures of Art Nouveau tiles: organic shapes of flowers and plants.
Tell students they are going to build a litte wall of tiles in Art Nouveau style. Every wall has six tiles. Flowers have to be cut out of the folding sheets. Try to use as much as possible of those sheets, so what you cut you glue on the wall.
Artworks made by students of grade 2
Op-art, short for optical art. The word optical is used to describe tings that relate to how we see. Artists use shapes, colours and patterns in special ways to create images that look as if they are moving or blurring. Op art started in the 1960. Op-art is a style of visual art that uses optical illusions. The artwork gives the viewer the impression of movement, hidden images and vibrating patterns.
