Today in art we learned about Paul Klee (pronounced like Clay.) He was born in 1879. He started out as a musician, playing the violin. Then he became an art teacher. He was inspired with his music and started making art with his music. One of his famous pictures is of a cat, and the cat had a bird inside his head to show that he was making a memory of the bird. Then a book was made called The Cat and the Bird. We are making shapes into a castle because Paul Klee made a painting like that called The Castle in the Sun. We are using big, medium and little shapes. Next week we are drawing over them with a special kind of colored pencils.
