"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.
The project is structured into three phases: before, during and after the visit. First, in the classroom, students will work with various artistic resources on the importance of agriculture, to understand the work of farmers and become familiarised with initiatives in ecological agriculture and urban farming. Afterwards, during the visit to the Fundació, we will see how Joan Miró expresses these criteria visually in his work, employing dynamics of observation, experimentation, play and movement. Then, once back in class, students will create an illustrated recipe-book using techniques commonly seen in Joan Miró's work.
