Tutorial #2


Line Drawings (based on artist Paul Klee.)


Paul Klee was a Swiss born artist who is famous for his  line drawings and abstract art . known as father of abstract art , most of his works have been made only out of lines and shapes. 


Before starting , we had gone through one of his best books that we like, The cat and the bird which was co authored by him and the illustrations are based on his paintings . 


 


Most of the pages has been illustrated mostly with lines and shapes , it will be a pure delight to go through this book , starting from houses to birds, trees to cats everything is formed with lines and shapes  ( or else after reading about the author we visualize so ) . 


In the below images my kids have tried  to bring out whatever they can imagine with lines ,from a castle to tree , sun , house .



 

Now for parents as How to teach 


Explore more about Paul Klee and his drawings with kids .ask the kids to visualize or else pick things from the house , that they think can be drawn using lines , (this activity helped us to learn that most of the things drawn have lines and why line is Called as one of the elements of art)


My little suggestion -#1 ( There will be some simple suggestions which I think is valuable at the end of each tutorial , hope this help all the parents to explore art with thier kids)


  Please don't draw anything and ask the kids to replicate , because as adults our detailing will be perfect to some extent and if kids are not able to replicate it as such, they will lose their confidence . SO ALWAYS ASK THE KIDS TO IMAGINE OR VISUALIZE IN THEIR MIND FIRST. Even it's not perfect let it be , Their sun or clouds will not be perfect at first , but later on they will try to make it perfect by seeing the sun and clouds themselves . We call it as observational drawing .
