THE PLAN
1. SWBAT Define the Elements and Principles of art and use them in a work of art.
2. SWBAT Learn about the artwork of Paul Klee
3. SWBAT draw the Planetary Symbols that scientists use
•Students will begin class by looking closer at Paul Klee’s artwork. Students will be introduced to the idea that the symbols in Klee’s artwork resemble the planetary symbols scientists use to label the planets.
•Students will be given a demo on how to complete the project. Students must choose at least three symbols to use in their artwork. Students will discuss the idea of composition and what makes a good composition.
•Students can outline, checkerboard, or combine both methods to create an interesting piece of art. Students will use oil pastels to create this large piece of abstract art. (In the demo the instructor will explain proper use of oil pastels and show the students several drawing techniques with them).
Students will fill out rubric in conjunction with the instructor. Students will be graded on neatness of work, creativity, following directions and how well they stayed on task throughout the project.
Paul Klee- (1879-1940) He was influenced by many different art styles in his work, including expressionism, cubism and surrealism. He and his friend, the Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, were also famous for teaching at the Bauhaus school of art and architecture.
