First Graders are being introduced to art history this year as we learn about famous artists and other cultures around the world. So far, we learned about the realistic portraits of Leonardo da Vinci in 16th century Italy, and then we moved forward in time and had fun creating colorful landscapes based on the work of David Hockney, a present day artist who lives in England.
Our next stop in our journey around the world is Joan Miro, (1893-1983), an artist from Barcelona, Spain. He is best known for his bright and colorful paintings. Enjoy this slide show of our First Grade classes today as we discovered what kind of an artist Joan Miro was and how he was inspired by the whimsical shapes and movement of the circus. Make sure your sound is on!
