Our artwork this week was inspired by Paul Klee's 'Castle and Sun'. After exploring the variety of shapes in his work, and learning about geometric vs. Organic shapes, the children had a chance to construct their own Castle using oil pastels and water colors.

We opened our session with a fun warm up activity in which the students were asked to draw a face with their eyes closed! We then studied the works of Pablo Picasso and discussed his unique Cubist style. We began by breaking out drawing of a human face into simple shape and added geometric and organic shapes to create an interesting composition.

The lesson focused on creating tint and shade using one color and changing it by adding black and white paint. We studied images of the ocean floor and examined the changes in light distribution. We then used photos of jellyfish as our guide. Acrylic and oil pastels on paper.
