Spanish Surrealist Painter and Sculptor
Who is Joan Miro?O Joan Miro was
born in Barcelona, Spain in 1893.
O In 1920 he moved to Paris where his artwork was influenced by poets and writers.
What kind of artwork did he make?
O His style is described as surreal.
O He was influenced by cubism and expressionism. He painted what he felt, using a lot of lines and color.
What are we doing today?
O We will look at some more of Miro’s artwork and create self-portraits using line and color!
O Let’s check out some of the people Miro has painted and think about how we can make ours!
How can you tell it’s a person?
• It’s abstract!
• He uses lines and colors to make this look like a
person.
How about this guy?
• He looks kind of goofy, but it still looks like a
person!• How would you make
one of these?
Woah! Look at that!
• It doesn’t have a face, but it has a body that
looks human.
There are multiple figures in
this one!
• Miro created this painting of a woman and
a cat. • He used lots of lines and
bright colors!
Even more abstract!
• This one only has some human features.
• There are so many possibilities of what you
can do!
Wait a second… this isn’t a
person!
• No, it’s not. This is a picture of a dog, but you already knew that, didn’t
you?• How could we tell what it
was?
Another animal!
• What kind of crazy animal is this?
• How does Miro use line and color?
What are you going to create?
O Make a self-portait influenced by Miro!
O Start with pencil, using line and when you’re done, trace in permanent marker!
O Make boxes or separate areas so you know where color will go!
O Then we will paint with watercolor!
