A Surreal World
Joan Miro
liked to use
shapes like
triangles,
circles, stars
and squares
in his
paintings.
These are
called
geometric
shapes.
Joan Miro also
liked to make
up curvy blob
shapes that
look like
something in
nature. These
are called
natural
shapes.
This painting is called “Hand catching a bird”
We call Joan
Miro’s paintings
Surreal because
they are like a
something from
a dream. Can
you find natural
and geometric
shapes in this?
Can you find
animals and
people he made
with the shapes?
Can you name the
shapes you see?
Joan Miro
sometimes drew
lines to make
shapes into
animals or people.
What is happening

What kind of
shapes do you
see?
What is
happening in
this painting?
Where is it?
When a
picture shows
the outdoor
world, we call
it a landscape.
Can you see
where the
ground ends
and the sky
begins?
Where is this place? What color is the sky?
Can you tell a story about this picture?
