The Creative Tots Annual Art Show returns this year as out little artists show their own interpretations of famous works by Monet, Paul Klee, Hokusai and many others. Using block print, water colors, sculpture and the various techniques Miss Penny has brought the classroom again this year. There are some truly impressive works of art!
Paul Klee “The Golden Fish” Preschool Preview from Creative Tots on Vimeo.
This year the children began their art projects by studying the applications and techniques of the Swiss-born German painter Paul Klee (pronounced <Klay>). Paul Klee was known for his simple, child-like perspective on painting and expressionism. Many of you may recall our art projects last year learning about his friend and colleague Wassily Kandinsky who together with Klee eventually came to be considered the historical masters of color theory making their art a wonderful example for preschoolers to study and imitate. Throughout the year, Ms. Penny will help develop the kids appreciation for the various mediums of art and design by using well-known examples from the art world. The children quickly learn to recognize some of the more famous painters by trying their hand at the various techniques used commonly by these great historical figures. The early stages of the project are always thoroughly enjoyed by the children as you can see in this brief video of them working on Paul Klee’s “The Golden Fish.”
Artists at Work!
Ms. Penny visited our classroom today and brought with her one of Paul Klee’s great works. The children worked on step one of one of their main art pieces for the art show in November! You can see the their own rendition of this piece on November 13th at Creative Tots annual Art Show! Mark your calendars! Miss Penny will be visiting us twice a week until the art show and we can’t wait to see what she has planned next! Visit the blog often to catch a sneak peak at our creations!
