The
5th grade students watched a video showing many different examples
of Paul Klee’s art work. Students had to
write at least five descriptive words that came to their mind when view Klee’s
work. Here are some of the words they
wrote: colorful, shapes, lines, weird, crazy, people, creative, imaginative,
and pattern. After seeing the video
students were able to learn about the proportions of the face and had to draw
their own self portrait. We overlapped
many different shapes and colors to make it look like the style of Paul Klee’s
work. Finally students had to write an
acrostic name poem in the boarder of their self-portrait.
Very effective. I really like the way you've included some art appreciation into the work :)Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteWonderful---and a great study of Klee. Just curious, which video clip did you show the students? I have looked at several on youtube, but not sure which might be best.
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteIt is very nice work. We want to use the same technique but we don´t know the materials you use to make it. Please can you tell me the process?
Thank you very much

ReplyDeleteAbove is link to the Klee video I showed, we talked about lines/shapes/colors he used. I also had the students write 5 words to describe his art. Students followed step by step directions to draw their self portrait. Day 2: They they used pre-cut squares of tissue paper and art paste to fill their paper (we talked about overlapping similar colors). Once done they started a name acrostic poem. Day 3: Outline Portait with sharpie and repeated their poem to fill their whole background.
