About the activity:

Paul Klee was a Swiss painter born in 1878. Klee concentrated on the power of color in art. He often painted abstract, geometric shapes such as rectangles and circles, which he filled in with a carefully chosen color palette. Sometimes he chose warm tones (like yellow, red, and orange – think of fire!), sometimes he chose cool tones (such as blue, green, and purple – ice!), and other times he combined them to create balance. Today, you will be using both warm and cool tones to create art based off of Klee’s The Golden Fish.

Materials needed:

  • White watercolor paper
  • Oil pastels
  • Watercolors
  • Paint brush
  • Water cup
  • Paperclip or wooden skewer
