Kindergarten Klee Portraits

Paul Klee created this piece titled Senecio in 1922. Using simple colors and shapes, Paul makes use of various shades of orange, red, and yellow to reveal portrait of an old man.  Kindergartners made their own version using a COLLAGE technique on top of a drawing. They began with a circle then divided it using 3 lines. They could color the sections using any colors, not just warm colors like Klee. They used shapes to add facial features and they completed a worksheet where they circled materials used and counted how many of which shapes they used. Check it out!




Thanks for reading!

Some lessons have been taught to multiple grade levels. Not all schools participate in the same lessons due to budget, materials, student needs, etc. Please leave a comment with praise, questions, or ways to polish.
