We talked about Miro's artwork and observed some of the somewhat recognizable things we saw in the abstracted works. The students identified people, dogs, the sun, and snowflakes. We illustrated what we saw in our own way, using the primary colors for the bodies of the people, as Joan Miro had. 
Students made a list of things that they liked and drew them inside a profile outline of their heads. We worked on shading and showing value with colored pencils, as well as what it means to fill an entire area with overlapping drawings. 
These are all actually made by me as I was teaching the steps under the doc. cam. Didn't get a chance to take pics of student work. But, this project was inspired by the rose and blue periods in Picasso's career. The students learned about monochromatic painting, as well as warm and cool colors. I taught the proportions of the human face and how to add harlequin characteristics.
