Paul Klee Cubist Fish

Students in grades 1 & 2 created these colourful cubist fish inspired by the work of Paul Klee. Students have been learning colour theory this term and learned about warm and cool colours. Students were asked to colour their fish with warm colours, and the background with cool colours.

We looked at the work of Paul Klee, in particular his painting ‘Sinbad the Sailor’, which features a fish just like these. Students completed a directed line drawing of a fish and added colour with poster paints. They used an oil pastel resist technique in the background to add lines and patterns. We love how unique each fish is!
