(G1,G3) Lines and Shapes in the work of Paul Klee


The students look at the work of the early modernist Paul Klee.
We examined his method of using lines and shapes in his compositions.
I advised the students to follow Paul Klee's statement: "A line is a point taken for a walk".
The students interpreted his work  by creating trees and self-portraits.

(G3) We used rulers to draw the lines inside the tree.


The background lines were based on Paul Klee's statement: "A line is a point taken for a walk".


This student used  rectangular pieces of paper to create the trunk.
I love the way he took his line for a walk. 


Using scarps of paper to create the trunk. 
Paul Klee often used burlap, gauze, cardboard, and metal foils to embellish his work.
