This ready-to-teach PowerPoint lesson helps students understand Miró’s artistic style and symbolism while encouraging them to create their own expressive drawings inspired by his work.
The lesson includes background information on Miró’s life and influences, discussion questions for visual analysis, and a creative classroom task where students develop titles, motifs, and compositions using his signature shapes and primary colours. Designed for Years 6–8, this engaging session promotes creativity, observation, and independent thinking while introducing key concepts of Surrealism and Abstract Art.
