Below you’ll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for a Paul Klee Inspired Art Projects and a Paul Klee Coloring Page.
Paul Klee Painting
Paul Klee was a Swiss and German artist best known for his large body of work that included cubism, expressionism and surrealism. This Paul Klee inspired art project is designed to help students try out his continuous line drawing idea, which produced one of his more famous paintings “Arrival of the Bridegroom”.
The directions in the step-by-step tutorial will guide students through a series of loops and curves that will fill up the paper in the way that Klee did, but undoubtedly create their own version of his abstract drawing.
Once the drawing is complete there are lots of options for coloring it in. The sample above was made with colored pencils. All the different areas were first filled in with a color, then later shadows were added all around the edges.
