Enquiry
Today, we are focusing on a famous artist called Paul Klee. He produced about 9000 pieces of art in his lifetime: landscapes, seascapes, still life and most interestingly for us, fish!
Here are some of his pictures. What do you think? How do they make you feel? What can you see: Do they have anything in common?
Paul Klee once said, ' A line is a dot that went for walk'. You are going to explore this idea in a piece of art today. Read the Lesson Plan and click on the link to learn more about Paul Klee's life and art.
