Lafayette, IN 47905
On the fourth Saturday of every month we will learn a little art history by studying an artist or an art movement, then we will do an art project inspired by that artist or movement. This month we will learn about Joan Miro. We will look at pictures and photos then get to work! Painting, sculpture, collage, printing...every class will have a special theme. In this class we will play a Miró game and do a large-scale drawing once we're properly inspired by him.
Joan Miró i Ferrà was a Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramicist born in Barcelona. Earning international acclaim, his work has been interpreted as Surrealism, a sandbox for the subconscious mind, a re-creation of the childlike, and a manifestation of Catalan pride. In numerous interviews dating from the 1930s on, Miró expressed contempt for conventional painting methods as a way of supporting bourgeois society, and famously declared an "assassination of painting" in favor of upsetting the visual elements of established painting.
All supplies are included but the children should arrive in clothes which can get dirty.
