Art classes at the studio: Learning from the masters, Joan Miró

This week, students finished a project on Joan Miró

After looking at photographs of Joan Miró's artwork, students age 6 to 10 were asked to draw "people" in the same style.

Students age 11 to 13 made a drawing (which had to include a focal point) in the style of the artist.

Working on new backgrounds

In preparation of upcoming shows, I started to work on a new series of backgrounds.
