3rd Grade "Castle and Sun"

Third grade studied the art of Paul Klee, specifically his "Castle and Sun" artwork, as well as geometric shapes.  They first created the outline of a castle, or a large building, and then filled it in with geometric shapes.  They added color with chalk pastel and outlined their geometric shapes with black crayon. 

Thanks to For the Love of Art for the inspiration for this project!

2nd Grade "Klee's Kool Kats"

Second grade studied the art of Paul Klee, specifically his cat paintings, and warm and cool colors.  I've done this project in the past with finger painting and wax crayon laid down lightly over the paint with FANTASTIC results (picture of this shown last), but due to time constraints, I decided to have the students use chalk pastel for color.  I don't think these look too bad, but I just wish I had more time with the kids!

And here is the painting I've done in previous years:

I wish I remembered where I found this project so I can give credit where credit is due!
