    **Before you get angry with me please remember I am an elementary teacher
    who works under an arts all level teacher at the museum.
    When Mondrian moved to the United States in 1940, was he fleeing Hitler and
    the Nazis. The timing is right and Mondrian's work would have made him a
    target of the Nazis. The kids are really enjoying our activity based on
    Broadway Boogie Woogie and I want to give the students and their teachers
    more information. A government trying to silence artist is also a great art
    issue to discuss with the classes, if I can relate it to the activities in
    an exhibit. We are using 4 activities based on different artists (+ Found
    object sculpture and free painting) to go with a children's art exhibit. The
    Gifted and Talented program (3rd & 4th grade) studied different artists and
    techniques for a semester. Our exhibit is their final projects.
