Paul Klee Inspired Portraits


Grade 5 students are exploring the power that lines and shape have to create emotions in art. We have explored art by a Swiss expressionist painter and graphic artist, Paul Klee. We investigated the style shapes and lines that made us feel positive emotions and negative emotions. We are now using oil pastels to create our own self portraits.
  • Below are two paintings by Paul Klee.
  • What kinds of lines do you see?
  • What kinds of shapes are in the art? How do the paintings make you feel?
