Paul Klee House

Second graders are learning about the artist Paul Klee. We started discussing what Cubism is and what Abstract art can look like.



We watched a short video showcasing work by Paul Klee. Students then used a small piece of cardboard to "print" their house. I love how they are all turning out so different!


This week was spent painting in the Paul Klee houses. We talked about how Klee often chose a color scheme when painting his art. The students chose 4 or 5 colors for their color scheme and got to work. It was very detailed painting and the kids did great!



This was the final week of our Paul Klee houses. Students finished painting the house and the background.



They also worked on two sheets that complemented the art. The first sheet was called Two Stars and a Wish. For this sheet, students write out 2 sentences about what they liked about their art project. The last sentence was something they wish they'd done differently or better. This sheet is teaching them to think critically about their art.


The last sheet was a Paul Klee sheet to color and glue onto the back of their art.




The projects turned out so colorful!
