When Paul Klee was a small child, his grandmother read amazing fairytales to him and this inspired him to imagine fantasy lands and images of his own. He once said that he worked all of his life to draw like a child.
1st Grade students will learn about the art of Paul Klee (pronounced "Clay"). They will see that one must use his/her imagination to interpret abstract art.
For our project, we will create the Head of the Man (pictured above) using stencils. Students will learn to make their own stencils and use them to decorate their "Head of the Man or Woman." We will stencil using oil pastels and finish the project by adding paint in a wash technique.
Paul Klee would be proud!!
