So glad you found the video useful!! Sorry about the music - a rookie mistake which I no longer make😏

So glad it was helpful (despite the music - that was a rookie mistake which I no longer make!) 😏

I am so glad you found this illuminating and useful! Did you try it with watercolors? They work just as well for me and my students 😊

Yes! That is certainly worth a try 🙂 Shadows have so much potential!

Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you so much for your kind comments and your questions!!😊🙏 Yes, I have a channel: www.youtube.com/@RobtheArtTeacher Regarding Paul Klee, that's a big question you ask 😏 and I would suggest two starting points - line and color - to empower you to decipher his compositional organisation for yourself. Line: Try to cancel out narrative, pictorial references, and color, and just focus on the lines in his paintings. A good idea is to make a line copy of one or two of his paintings... Then think of his phrase "taking a line for a walk" and try to imagine where his line drawing started, and se how he 'grows' the composition around the gradual construction of a scaffolding of line drawing. Then try that method for yourself. Color: The logic behind many of his paintings is the way he builds up blocks of harmonious colour relationships that are then energised by selective use of small shapes painted in brighter and bolder contrasting hues... He distributes these to lead our eye in a constant 'walk' around and within the whole composition.

Thank you! It's great to hear your ideas about how to use the method... Best wishes for your plans!

Thank you so much for your generous feedback!🙏🏼🌼

😊🙏🏼 thank you so much

Thank you so much for your feedback and your great questions. I'll try to answer here... At one level this activity was to build confidence, because at this age (12 years) children start to be quite skeptical about their observational skills, and they simplified ambitions of this project allow them to see that they are actually OK at it! On another level, it was one of several activities I give them at this age that are aimed at helping them draw with patience and curiosity when making observational art. (Incidentally, the training in drawing or painting with quiet, patient curiosity in my classes starts with 9- year-old students who are still at the social-emotional self-expression stage, not yet ready for observational drawing - and here I am getting them to 'listen' to the quietest part of their imagination which usually has new ideas for them... I will be making a video about that soon.) My advice to my 12-year-old students is that if they ever feel they 'can't draw', they should remember their hands have known what to do since they were babies, but their eyes have become trained to scan and flit from side to side (they all understand the experience of rapidly scrolling through images online). Therefore, the real challenge is to see whether they can slow their eyes down (btw, I have another video about that: ruclips.net/video/f-5edcwLJAc/видео.html). Lastly, this activity was also building towards them making much larger still life paintings with acrylic paints - first on A3-size sheets of acrylic painting paper, and then on stretched canvases. For these paintings, they were able to either work from their earlier sketches, or set up a new still life of their choice and work from that. And that activity (lasting several weeks) led to acrylic paintings on paper or on canvases (their choice) of any subject they wished to explore next...

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy😊

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing!😊🙏

Thank you so much for your comment. I agree about your description of 'Sumi-e', however, my video is not about that technique or idea... Perhaps there is a little confusion. I do mention the 'Sumi Ink' that I am using, which is supplied for Manga drawing.... Also, I talk about the shape of a single brush stroke that gave me ideas for other marks and artworks, but I was not attempting the Sumi-e method... Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts, and I hope you found the video useful or interesting 😊

@@RobtheArtTeacher I should have written “sumi-e also”
