“Joan Miró, the artist and his work”
2nd Primary , School Arc Iris, Barcelona
The project “Joan Miró, the artist and his work” is started from the interests of students, expectations and initiatives of fellow students. My contribution has been to listen, focus and put at your disposal everything necessary to make it reality. Working this way creates illustrations, dreams, expectations and frustrations shared.
Joan Miro has become part of us, as for his work as his way of doing and also understand, especially for their way of life.
All these aspects are summarized in the ideas expressed by children about Joan Miró:
1. WHEN HE WASD CHILD HE WANTED TO PAINT.
2. HE HAD MANY FRIENDS AND THEY LOVE JOAN VERY MUCH.
3. HE WAS ALWAYS HAPPY.
4. HE LOVED NATURE. HE LOVED TO WALK AND COLLECT TREASURES.
5. HE MADE SCULPTURES WITH THINGS HE FOUND
6. HE LIKED TO PAINT THINGS
7. HE LIKED TO PAINT BIG PICTURES USING HIS HANDS AND SPATTERING THE PAINT
8. HE WANTD TO HAVE A BIG STUDIO.
These ideas about the artist have been enriched throughout the project through discussions and art activities in which the what artist stands as a benchmark and the same time, making them see much of he thought or did, or do they also think: Who has not wanted to be an artist when they were children, how important are friends!
The paint we chose, “Codes encryption and constellation” reflected the imaginary world of Miró when he contemplate the sky. We have imagined “our sky” full of stars and constellations where hiding our names and: “when we look at the sky there will be all”
We made a collective mural. We decided because we had the same dream that Joan Miró: painting a big picture on a big scale.
