Walking with Paul Klee


First grade students have been working so hard the past month or so on projects that take multiple weeks.  For a change in pace, we took a look at Paul Klee's use of lines, shapes, and colors to do as he did and take our lines on a walk.We looked at his artwork to talk about what we saw within it.  Some students saw anywhere from one to three people, some said they saw animals, some said they just saw lines and shapes.  It's always unique to hear what students see when they look at art.  Students were then shown and told that Paul Klee once said....


"Drawing is taking a line for a walk."

Students were then given those awesome Play Color Sticks, shown an example where I had taken my lines on a walk, and then took their lines on a walk... here is what they "walked" within the art room!




A HUGE R.O.A.R to the
first graders in the Dominican Republic Class!
