C learned about Piet Mondrian, a Dutch painter of the neo-plasticism style, in art class. From what I have read, the style consists of a white ground upon which is painted a grid of black vertical and horizontal lines and the three primary colors.
C first viewed paintings like the one above and then glued black construction paper lines onto white paper and colored in the squares using primary colors. When I asked him about Mondrian, he told me that the artist did not like curvy lines and that he was not American. That about sums it all up in six year old language!
Here is C's interpretation of Mondrian's work:
