What will my children learn?
During this lesson your children will –
Learn how Klee used simplified shapes and bold symbols to suggest ideas and emotions.
Be introduced to a new sensory experience, encouraging adaptability and experimentation with texture and absorbency.
Learn how watercolours behave differently on fabric versus paper, such as bleeding, blending, and layering, developing fine motor control and patience.
Improve their ability to observe and replicate Klee’s shapes and composition while still allowing for personal interpretation.
Be encouraged to interpret Klee’s artwork in their own way, such as changing the colours, patterns, or details, fostering independent thinking.
Explore colour choices and contrast, learning how to create visual impact and balance with a limited palette.
