Joan Miro Paintings

Third grade students practiced drawing all types of lines; curved, straight, cross hatch, thick, thin and spiral. These works combine line, shape and color in the style of Joan (Juan) Miro, a modern Spanish artist who was famous for his work with line. Students used their spacial skills to create balanced pieces. They also planned ahead as they worked; if they wanted to paint with warm colors, they needed to make their single shape a cool color, and vice versa.
