I do not know who Joan Miro is but small C does all thanks to Heart Studio. As with all new art projects, the kids are firstly introduced to the theme and the facts surrounding the theme of the month. For this month, they learned about Joan Miro, where he was from and what he was famous for. The kids explored abstract art through the works of Joan Miro. It’s the first time small C is doing abstract art. Frankly as an adult, I find it difficult to draw abstract art as I need a lot of creativity and out of the box thinking to sketch out something not in real life. However, for kids it seems quite a natural process for them , hence art classes are really a good outlet for them to nurture their creativity and imagination.
For the first week , the kids were shown some inspirations from Joan Miro works. The kids had to create imaginary animals from shapes on the art project booklet. I see that the kids including small C sketches so effortlessly , with lots of creativity and imagination.In the second and third week, they will transfer their sketches onto cardboard and paint them – every component of their imaginary animal. There is no hand holding, and the kids are free to decide on the colour, shape and size though the teacher may suggest more contrasting colours to make the artwork stand out. Thereafter, the different components are cut out and the finer details are painted on the cutouts.

Finally is to assemble all the painted cutouts into a 3D model art piece! This is small C’s first abstract art work and he is able to turn his creative imagination into life and now it is proudly on display at his study corner at home. So glad there is always something new to explore and the world of art is indeed so vast and varied!
