5th Grade Paul Klee "Santa Hat" Cats
Parents, teachers, and students enjoy seeing Christmas artwork during the holiday season. During any holiday season or themed event at school, I always want to keep the "true meaning" of art in the air. I want the elements and principles sprinkled in through all art activities. In the activity below, we managed to hit on some of the elements and principles and teach a little about artist Paul Klee.
It is with great pleasure, I share our Christmas cats inspired the Artist Paul Klee (1879-1940). Did you know that Paul Klee hung out with Wassily Kandinsky?
Directions:
Draw the cat with pencil.
Outline with Sharpie.
Paint the background with acrylic.
Paint the cat.
Re-outline with black oil pastel.
Here's a "Cat's in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin. At the beginning of the video, there is a brief history of the origins of the song. The end of the video flashes that Harry Chapin was killed in a car crash at 38. A solid song ranked the 4th saddest song ever by Rolling Stone Magazine. (click here for link)
