## Definition
_**Pedagogical Sketchbook**_ is [[Paul Klee|Paul Klee’s]] compact 1925 Bauhaus book on the relationships among line, movement, structure, surface and visual force. It converts aspects of drawing into teachable operations while retaining the ambiguity of artistic perception.
## Corpus Function
[[articles/Bauhaus Architects of AI|Bauhaus Architects of AI]] reads Klee’s operational language beside algorithms and formal systems. The productive comparison lies in rule, transformation and emergence. The historical boundary remains important: Klee was constructing a visual pedagogy, not writing computer code.
