Simplicity

This week Mrs.Roundy introduced us to an artist known as Joan Miro. 

He was known for using simple shapes, black outline and a basic color pallet (reds, greens, blues, yellows, whites) and he used a lot of organic shapes and lines. 

 Mrs.Roundy gave each student a piece of paper with different "Miro-esque"shapes and lines on it and a blank piece of paper to practice making some similar to them.

Next, they were given pre-taped pieces of paper to draw their shapes and lines onto with a sharpie. It was taped around the edges to create an instant frame once it was peeled away at the end. After they had finished drawing with the sharpie, they got to use water colors to paint their works of art.

They turned out beautiful.
