White is one of the most outstanding features of the Fundació Joan Miró building: it is the only colour of its concrete.

A number of artists have imagined fantastical landscapes and beings. Rocks, trees and clouds sometimes have mysterious shapes.
“When I see a tree, like a carob tree for example, I feel like it is speaking to me. It has eyes. You can talk to it”. Joan Miró
Joan Miró walked through the gardens of Mont-roig del Camp looking at the fruit and vegetables the farmers were growing, and later painted his landscapes. In this project we discover crops and their production to work on the importance of food security and sovereignty for our diet.
“I think of my studio like a garden. Artichokes here, potatoes there . . . For the fruit to grow, you have to cut the leaves, at some point you have to prune." Joan Miró
Joan Miró walked through the gardens of Mont-roig del Camp looking at the fruit and vegetables the farmers were growing, and later painted his landscapes. In this project we discover gardens and their production, as well as their importance for our sustenance. Miró’s artistic processes will be tools for learning and experimentation as we encourage student creativity.
