A playful printing activity using toy bricks and paint.
What will my children learn?
During this lesson your children will –
Explore how shapes form images, just as Klee’s work often included geometric shapes.
Learn about colour relationships by layering prints and experimenting with combinations.
Be encouraged to experiment with pattern and shapes, involving geometry and mathematical thinking.
Be encouraged to create a landscape involving foreground and background.
Be inspired by Klee’s imaginative style and will practice seeing beyond realism, understanding that landscapes don’t have to be look real to be expressive.
Grasp that simple marks and shapes can symbolize bigger ideas, like trees, hills, and buildings.
Explore non-traditional tools for art-making, encouraging resourcefulness and innovation.
Use a playful, familiar material which removes pressure and fosters creative risk-taking.
Will be encouraged to reflect on their own surroundings through symbolic landscape elements.
Work with small tools which helps develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
