Art classes in Berlin
In our PYP Unit “Role models” Grade 2 discussed Joan Miró. We broke his colours down to basics, black and white and his shapes to little potatos that are sometimes overlapping opening possibilities for the third shape and a new colour. We added lots of soft lines.
This came out so pretty it’s hard not to be a little proud to be the one who led it through. A very uncomplicated subject, easy to explain, understand and assemble. It’s all about shapes and colours.
We spoked a bit about Bauhaus and looked at their work, we also looked at some videos of Cadler’s mobiles, just to remember what a mobile is. Children traced the shapes with anything they could find in the classroom, painted them in Bauhaus colours, cut them out and assembled the mobiles. I then made holes for them so they could connect the shapes with prepared hooked wires.
Effortless. And very pretty they look hanging from the celling in our hallway.
