Art Inspired by Paul Klee

Fifth graders hard at work on their Klee-inspired art project.

After learning about the expressionist artist, Paul Klee, the fourth, fifth, and sixth graders created their own pieces which focused on line, color and space.

The fifth grade created magical aquarium crayon resists, inspired by Klee's Fish Magic. To create crayon resists, students work first with crayon and then apply watercolor paint over the entire paper.  The waxy crayon resists the watercolor paint resulting in a multidimensional and textured piece of art.
