Everyone's An Artist: A Hands-On Exploration of Art History!

Today’s episode highlights the 90 year career of Spanish artist, Joan Miró!  He was a painter, sculptor and ceramicist who never stopped evolving.  Miró earned international acclaim while staying connected to his family.  His work has been interpreted as Surrealism, a sandbox for the subconscious mind, a re-creation of the childlike, and a manifestation of Catalan pride.Podcast host, Kendra Krepinski.  Music by, Craig Rollison.  Email: eaa.handsonarthistory@gmail.com.  Instagram: @art_integrated_ed
