Joan Miró
Welcome to the playful world of Joan Miró! This art box is all about Surrealism, symbolism, and experimenting with different forms of art.
To begin, young artists will take a peek into the life of Joan Miró. They’ll trace the development of his artwork and skills, from Cubism to Surrealism to sculpture. In the first two art projects, kids will study a specific piece of Miró’s art and recreate it using high-quality art supplies. They’ll work with bleeding tissue paper, foam, confetti, and more. There are also two dice games! Each roll of the dice will determine which kind of Miró-inspired lines the kids draw. The art box wraps up with a piece of 3D art: a sculpture crafted out of wire, paper mache, and plaster.

The Migratory Bird Reproduction
Young artists will experiment with colors, lines, and shapes in this project inspired by Miró's most famous series: Constellations. They'll use bleeding tissue paper to give a whimsical color to the background. Then they'll replicate Miró's abstract lines in their own paintings.Login to Watch Video
The Dancer Reproduction
In this project, kids will recreate Miró's artwork in two ways. First, they'll stick to the layout of Miró's piece to see how he created a sense of movement in his art. After that, they can use their own imaginations to make dancers, lines, and swirls however they'd like!Login to Watch Video
Roll-a-Miró Human Figures
For this technique lesson, kids will practice drawing abstract forms like Miró. They'll create chalk-textured backgrounds and play two dice games to determine which shapes they'll draw. The combination of lines will produce a wacky, whimsical human figure!Login to Watch Video
Wire and Plaster Sculptures
Miró was a painter, but he was also a sculptor. Young artists will take inspiration from Miró's abstract 3D art in this project. They'll create two sculpture designs with a wire form. Then they'll build out the piece with paper mache and plaster.Login to Watch Video
