About Joan Miro
Joan Miro’s work is filled with simple lines and organic shapes. That’s why this Joan Miro art project can easily play double duty when you’re trying to teach students both about art history AND the Elements of Art.
A quick overview of some of Miro’s paintings will show many of the LINES and SHAPES he loved to repeat (both Elements of Art) and are super easy for students to draw and rearrange in their own manner.
One tip for helping your students make their abstract art as colorful possible? Point out that they need to break up the background by making things intersect and touch the edge of the paper. That way when they color, it won’t be just one shade all over. The more color, the better!
This project is also included in my “Elements of Art” ebook that is in my PDF shop. It’s jam packed with projects that touch on each one of the Elements, and fit neatly onto a 6″ x 9″ sheet of paper so they can go in to something I call a “Recycled Art Journal”. It’s a system that I developed years ago when I was teaching in a classroom setting.You can read more about Recycled Art Journals HERE.
