The first grade studied about Surrealism and Joan Miro. They looked at his style of drawing that combined bold lines, primary hues and imaginary subjects. We learned that surrealism is about capturing ideas that exist outside of reality. The first graders created their own dreamlike characters inspired by Miro's paintings.
