Students were introduced to the Spanish artist Joan Miro. Whenever we study an artist, we always start by dicussing the artist's origins which gives me an opportunity to throw in some geography. We look at a map of the world and review the seven continents. We discuss where we live and compare to where the artist lived/s. Over time, they get to see that artists come from all over the world, both near and far.
