For art appreciation this term, Sophie’s school is introducing Paul Klee (German-Swiss, 1879 – 1940). It is quite easy for young children to create a masterpiece based on his works because of his simplistic and primitive style. And since the theme is on “sea creatures”, I thought it would be good to merge the two and let her re-create “Mister Seahorse”.
She didthe first part before school. I drew a huge seahorse on a piece of A3 paper. Then I marked it with checkers for her to fill in with markers.
Although Sophie was able to stay focused and fill up a couple of spaces, she was soon bored and I had to complete it by holding her hand.
However, she was quite happy to apply glitter glue on the seahorse. After that we had to hang it up for drying.
The rest was done when she got home from school. I tore some tissue paper and cut some squares for the background.
Sophie was trying to complete the work while watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Despite the distraction, she was able to do it with minimal glitch.
The end product looks quite cool, to be honest.
