My Favorite Place Collage
by Shelley Schoby, K- 2 Art Specialist
This week in art, first grade students
were introduced to the abstract artist Paul Klee (1879-1940). Mr.
Klee is a Swiss-born painter whose works often have geometric
shapes and symbols of dreams. During his life, he produced more
than 9,000 works of art.
First grade students discovered that
artists join lines to make geometric shapes. Students created paper
collages by cutting-out and grouping a variety paper shapes.
Collages represent each child’s favorite outdoor place. Finally,
students added a descriptive sentence sharing what their favorite
place might be.
