Kindergarten Klees
Learning Targets
I can...- Create a Kindergarten Klee using mixing techniques learned in class
- Use line variation (intersecting horizontal vertical), geometric shapes (circle rectangle square), and color (warm colors complimentary colors) inspired by Swiss Artist (1879-1940) Paul Klee
- Use color theory (color relation, mixing techniques, reflective schemes) and design principles (composition, contrast, placement) based on Abstract Art
- Define Portrait (a picture depicting the face, head, and shoulder)
Lesson One
Day One, Art Start
1. "Senecio" Head of A Man (1922) Paul Klee
2. Art With Mati And Dada- Paul Klee Kids Animated Short Stories
3. Critical Discussion Questions "What image do you see? What makes this portrait abstract or realistic? What shapes do you see when you observe "Senecio" by Paul Klee?"
Lesson Activities
1. Choose One 12" by 15" White Paper
2. Use pencils to trace geometric shapes (circle, ellipse, rectangle, oval) onto white paper
