Expressive Art & Design
Joan Miró 🎨
We have been exploring the work of the artist Joan Miró. The children looked closely at his
bright colours, bold shapes, and playful lines before having a go at creating their own abstract Miró-inspired artwork.
They enjoyed experimenting with shapes and patterns to make imaginative pictures in his style. We were so impressed with their creativity and the unique ideas they brought to their work!
Loose Parts Portraits
The children have been exploring self-portraits by using a collection of loose parts. They thought carefully about their features and used key vocabulary to describe what they were creating, such as where eyes go and how many ears we have. This activity encouraged creativity, careful observation, and plenty of wonderful explanations as the children designed their unique portraits.
This Is Me!
As part of our learning about ourselves, the children created "This is Me" paintings. They used paint to represent themselves in their own unique way. This activity encouraged the children to celebrate what makes them special. We have proudly added their wonderful paintings to our classroom, making it an even brighter and more personal space.
