"A key to understanding of the art of Paul Klee, one which can be used most profitably by the art student."-College Art Journal. PEDAGOGICAL SKETCHBOOK is a vital contribution toward a more human, more universal goal in design education the work of a visionary painter who dedicated himself to the practical task of making people see. Chessboard, bone, muscle, heart, a water wheel, a plant, railroad ties, a tightrope walker-these serve as examples for the forty-three design lessons. The student remains in the familiar world-a world that acquires new significance through the straight forward approach of Klee's simple, lucid drawings and his precise captions. From the simple phenomenon of interweaving lines, his work leads to the comprehension of defined planes-of structure, dimen sion, equilibrium, and motion. Klee collected his observations in his PEDAGOGICAL SKETCH BOOK, intended as the basis for the course in design theory at the famous Bauhaus art school in Germany.

Without any attempt at imitation or idealization, he recorded proportion, motion, and depth in space as the fundamental attributes of the visual world. Although he shed all ties with conventional presentation, he developed a closer and deeper relationship to reality than did most painters of his time.
