5th Grade students studied the art of Gustav Klimt, in particular, his portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, 1907. The class discussed Klimt’s use of color and pattern as a way of creating emphasis.
Students then created portraits of people they admire using a limited color palette and repeating patterns. Paper springs were then added to add a shallow relief.

i love the students work with pattern. the idea of this great work of art being taken apart like that is amazing. i have always been awed by the dramatic work.
