Paul Klee - Online Learning Module 4: Homage to Ad Parnassum, 1932 | Zart Art

Create a mixed media homage to Klee’s AD PARNASSUM using a variety of materials, skills and methods in image construction. Students will explore collage, drawing, painting and design.
Paul Klee was a Swiss artist, born in 1879. He was an intellectual painter and teacher influenced by Cubism, Expressionism and Surrealism. Klee taught at the famous Bauhaus from 1921-1931 with fellow artist Kandinsky. Klee was an accomplished musician and this influenced his work, he often played the violin to warm up before painting in his studio.
Klee challenged boundaries in art by using symbols, hieroglyphs, poetry and language. Like Picasso, he drew inspiration from the simplicity of children’s artwork. He often experimented with materials and processes, especially the application of paint.
The art activities in this unit focus on geometry, shape, colour and line. These elements will be explored through drawing, painting and construction.
Suitable for Victorian Curriculum Levels: F - 6

Hello, I didn't understand the part of the oil pastels "activated with water".

[@ZartArtEducation]

Some oil pastels are water soluble, so when we add water to them they act almost like a water colour paint or water colour pencil :)

@@ZartArtEducation Thank you. I did some paintings with oil pastels but I used a mineral thinner. It looks like watercolor, with the advantage that it doesn't warp the paper.

Is there a substitute for gesso as I don't have this in the art room?

[@ZartArtEducation]

Hi Cendrine, a coat of white paint can also be used instead of Gesso.
