Klee "The Seafarer" with Second

Second grade students studied artist Paul Klee.  We learned how he liked to use music for his inspiration.  Looking at his painting, "Battle Scene from the Seafarer," we read part of the comic opera.  Students listened to the opera while looking at the painting and tried to see where Klee came up with the image.  We then talked about vocabulary words: hue, tint and shade.  We learned how to mix them and painted our sea using the three.  On the second day students looked at the pattern in the "sea monsters" and brainstormed a list of sea animals to finish off their works.
