Pedagogical – Through the Sketchbook

Klee’s thorough research into his own artwork translates into the Pedagogical Sketchbook. It is originally created for himself as a teaching tool and is eventually published for his students at the Bauhaus in Weimar, Germany, 1921. Full of text and drawings by the artist.

Artist: Paul Klee.

Pedagogical Sketchbook. London: Faber & Faber Ltd. (First published in 1953, now widely available at used bookstores, and through alibris or abebooks. There are various covers.)

What has the sketchbook been in the past and what can it be today? Together this website demonstrates how sketchbooks cross disciplines, skills, cultures, gender, and class etc., to gain a better understanding.

The sketchbooks appear here not necessarily for the 'name' of the artist, but for the different thinking and seeing through the sketchbook.
