How to Draw a Paul Klee Castle: Easy Step-by-Step Art Tutorial Video for Kids
Below you’ll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for a Paul Klee Castle Art Project. It’s a good way to add some shape practice into your art history lesson.
Paul Klee Castle and Sun Drawing
This Paul Klee Castle and Sun art project was inspired by his famous Castle and Sun painting. It’s the perfect work of art for young artists to imitate as the idea of making a city out of basic lines and shapes is so easy to imitate.
Paul Klee was a Swiss-German artist who became one of the most famous painters of the 20th century. He, along with Picasso, were the first to contribute to a form of art that came to be known as “abstraction”. He made over 10,000 paintings, drawings and etchings in his lifetime and his work has been exhibited all over the world.
