After learning about Joan Miro and viewing some of his works, first and second graders created these fun watercolor designs imitating his style. Students created (or traced from a handout) Miro type designs on a large coffee filter with black sharpies. Second step was to paint over these designs with watercolors (no brown or black). After drying, these designs were gently glued onto a paper plate with glue sticks. Black sharpies were used to color the edge of the plate to provide a “frame”. This was quick and fun, a project where everyone succeeds!
