Summer Home Learning: Art in the style of Paul Klee

Year 3Paul Klee was born in Switzerland

in 1879. He loved to experiment with

colour and his art is considered to

be expressionist or surrealist. He

used colour theory (mixing primary

colours) a lot in his work. He died

in Switzerland in 1940.

The primary colours are red, yellow and

blue. What colours can you make when

you mix two primary colours together?

These are called secondary colours.

When you add in any more than two

primary colours, you make a tertiary

colour. Experiment with mixing colours

and create a colour wheel.

Research Paul Klee. Find out ten

facts about him and his art. List

them in order of importance. Why

was he such a significant artist?

Look at the houses and

buildings around where you

live. Look at their shapes, their

colours and lines. Use simple

shapes and colours in a

painting of your own to show

the buildings. Remember to

use Paul Klee’s style and mix

paints to find the colours you

need. You are only allowed to

use primary colours – any

other colour you want to use,

you have to mix yourself!

This painting is called

The Castle and the Sun

What can you

see in the

picture?

How does the

picture make

you feel?

Why do you

think it is called

this?

Take photographs of buildings in your

street. What do you notice about
