  6. Vocabulary • Colors and Patterns “Cat and Bird” How many patterns can you find? What do the colors feel like to you? What is the cat thinking about?

  7. “The Twittering Machine” What kind of machine is this? Is it loud or soft? What do you think the machine does? Is there a lot of positive or negative space in this picture?

  11. What We Will Be Doing • You will be creating a work similar to Mr. Klee’s painting. • Color an index card with various brightly colored crayons, then color over the bright colors with black. • You will use toothpicks, paperclips or coins to scratch off the black crayon, making a goldfish and water scene on the card.

  12. Process • Write your name on the back of the index card. • Lay the index card over a piece of paper to protect the desk. • First cover the WHOLE card with bright colors • Second cover ALL THE COLORS with black • Next use a toothpick, paper clip or coin to scratch a goldfish design or scene on the card, as well as patterns to look like an underwater scene. • Remember positive and negative space. • All the black is your negative space
