Miró Inspired Paintings
2nd Grade
Click here to read last year's post and learn more about the process for this project.
Here's a quick recap:
Students began this unit by observing and interpreting works of art by spanish artist, Joan Miró. Miró created often used automatic drawing as a technique for creating his abstract paintings. Students tried out automatic drawing themselves, including letting their pencil go for a walk and drawing without thinking.
The resulting lines and shapes were great springboards for student's imaginations. Now, the thinking! Students "looked into" their marks and discovered all sorts of images from an octopus, to a black hole, to dueling dragons.
After finding their images, students used sharpie, oil pastel and crayon to make them stand out. They completed these paintings with watercolors and experimented with a variety of techniques.
