On Wednesday, we participated in our final Mini Museum for the year featuring Spanish artist, Joan Miro. His art was described to the students as being surrealistic; falling between reality and a dream. Students were shown his painting, The Singing Fish and the technique was discussed.
Student used multi-media approach to create their own version of this well know piece of art. They began with black Sharpie for the "fish" shape and stars, then colored in the graphic parts of the "fish" with bold oil based crayon in vivid colors. Next, the white space was filled using bright chalk which was smudged with a cotton ball for the soft effect. Last, students splattered painted using water colors. The final projects turned out fantastic!! We have had the BEST experience each month during Mini Museum and owe a special "thank you" to our parent and grandparent volunteers for exposing the children to both the artists and the art form.
