This project was an extension of our line study. The children looked at many paintings by artist Joan Miró. We talked about the lines he used and noticed some of the bold bright colors. The children were guided at first in drawing different kinds of lines on their paper (thick, thin, straight, curved, etc). The lines were traced with black tempera paint using a cotton swab. On another day the children painted in some of their shapes using primary colors. This painting was also done with cotton swabs. The finished work is so expressive and unique!
