The students will be inspired to use their prior knowledge of abstract art and apply it to expressionism art. They will learn about Paul Klee and how he was inspired by Wassily Kandinsky which was our last artist study. They will utilize dot art to form lines and images to be of unique organic quality to create a community mural with the dot art requested, felt, different types of paper that we need and fabric to create different textures and use collage techniques. I want them to learn to see art and all of its beauty. I also want them to build a sense of color by creating abstract animals, faces and buildings using oil pastels like Paul Klee and colors cool and warm. I want to integrate art, music and writing to enhance our mantra at p.s. 55q. And support our new magnet school title. Magnet school of communications through art, multimedia and technology.
