MIRO'

Today, I brought a book about Miro', a Spanish surrealist artist, who painted wonderfully colored paintings with many images that also children can enjoy. We discovered that he used some symbols over and over, like the moon, stars and eyes.





We first started with a Miro' inspired collage, gluing strips of colored paper and round cut magazine shapes onto white paper and adding tissue paper, as well.







Then, we used black markers to draw swirly shapes onto paper. The spaces that were created by the markers we colored with watercolor, creating  colorful shapes like Miro' did.
