Avoid the Missing Background Mistake. Learn the Secret of Paul Klee's Grid with Rob the Art Teacher
#PaulKlee #composition #abstractart #gird #colour #WayneThiebaud #AliceHerbst #childrensart
Paul Klee is one of my go-to artists when I am coaching composition. He is a true picture-MAKER. Who is your go-to artist for understanding composition?
Klee’s example is especially useful for students facing down the ‘missing background’ problem. That moment when the subject of the drawing or painting simply floats on a blank background because there was no plan what to do.
Paul Klee shows how the three key elements of a picture – its subject, the open space around the subject, and the edges of the picture – are all connected to each other in the eye of a picture maker.
In this video I share some simple techniques for solving this problem before it occurs. The video includes 5 Art Activities that are suitable for Elementary, Middle, and High school students, art teachers, and art hobbyists. It is especially useful for young artists beginning to make observational drawings and paintings.
PICTURE CREDITS:
This video includes artworks by Paul Klee (Swiss-German, 1879-1940), Wayne Thiebaud (American, 1920-2021), Alice Herbst (Swedish, b.1993), and students from The American Elementary School in Gdynia.

This video uses the music “Snow Fantasy” Koto instrumental by an unknown artist, from a vinyl recording (1967).
