The Art of Miro


First graders just learned about artist, Joan Miro. We began by looking at various drawings and paintings and tried to identify meaning behind his abstract images. Each painting told a unique story and the first graders were very creative as they tried to uncover that story! Then we looked at symbols Miro commonly used and created our own works of art inspired by those symbols.

  2. My favorite painting by Miro' is called, Dawn Perfumed by a Shower of Gold. Your student's work would make Miro' proud!
