Paul Klee Castles Projects- Completed!

As you read on my last post, 3rd graders have been hard at work on their Paul Klee-inspired Castles Projects. Check out some of these completed mixed media projects - they turned out incredible!

This has quickly become one of my favorite all-time projects. It's so multi-layered, rich, promotes success for all, stimulates creativity, and the kids enjoyed it immensely!

The last two photos show you how far the students have come and all the steps we had to take to finish our artwork - we had to create a complex grid of shapes, mix colors to paint nearly every shape, cut out our shapes, assemble them to creatively form castles or fantastical buildings, glue down our shapes and then blend two colors of chalk pastel for our backgrounds!
