PAUL KLEE LINES & PATTERNS

The past two weeks we have been rediscovering lines and all they can do for our drawings.  I am introducing them to the 1st graders and reintroducing them to the 2nd - 4th graders. It is always fun getting antiquated again with our favorites. 

1st grade drew a Paul Klee inspired cat.  I do not have pictures of this lesson.  They are currently in a bag waiting to be uploaded to Artsonia.  I have not had the upload lesson just yet with 1st graders.  I usually wait to introduce Artsonia until the 2nd semester. They are still just learning the basics of the art room and to add another thing is just too much for my Littles. 

I should say, these are all lessons from  Deep Space Sparkle Member's Club.  
Any of you who have followed me for a while know these are my absolute FAVORITE lessons to do.  They are tried, true, and pretend art teacher proof! LOL!  

2nd Grade had fun with line and pattern with this Paul Klee Man.  Some thought he was a robot, others thought an alien, but we all had fun with the lines, shapes, and pattern.  These were created with a black oil pastel directed drawing and painted the next week. 





3rd Grade used the new Crayola Oil Pastels to create these beautiful Castles and Suns.  We drew the castle with a white oil pastel the first day and the next they had to fill each shape created with the oil pastels. They turned out beautifully and I will always order Crayola oil pastels in the future.  The colors are so bright and beautiful! On the black construction paper they really pop!






4th Grade also did a Paul Klee inspired drawing.  I didn't tell them this but they did this exact lesson when they were in 2nd grade.  The improvement was amazing!  This is another reason I love having my students for 4 years in a row.  I get to see the progression of their talent.  We created this drawing with a black oil pastel on white paper  one week and painted it with temper cakes the next week. These turned out so great!
