Three dimensional Mirò

I thought of a way to create a three-dimensional structure with the characteristic drawings by Joan Miro, which are specifically two-dimensional. Students have copied some drawings by Miró with a black permanent marker on cardboards recycled from boxes of corn flakes. Afterwards they have painted the drawings with acrylic paint, and when the cards have dried, the students have also painted the back with the same solid colors. The funniest part was assembling the small paintings in three-dimensional structures, cutting the cardboard at the connection points and adding a little ‘glue when necessary. Check out my video tutorial:

Here the pictures step by step:

    • Hi Kakun! Children have taken about one hour for the drawings, and another hour to cut them out and assemble them together 🙂

    • Hi Merril! I think is the first time that we meet each other, so, nice to meet you! I’m very proud to know that other teachers and students around the world are following my web site and use the ideas in it. Where are your School? Is it Primary or Secondary? And where are you from? We have the same surname Moser here in North Italy, do you have some relatives here? Ok, stop questions and happy Art to you! 😀

      • I am from south Texas and teach 6,7, and 8th grade in Donna, Texas at Veterans Middle School. My husband’s family is originally from Germany, but they lived in Russia for 100 years before immigrating to the USA. We completed the sculptures, such fun. We post our art on Artsonia.com.

    • I did it with a small group of students 13 years old, after teaching them abstracts and surrealism. But I think it could be done even with smaller kids, because Mirò is easy to copy. 🙂
