    I recently did Miro with First Grade as an integrated art and math lesson.
    Classroom teachers were introducing plane figures, and so we looked at Miro
    and identified basic geometric figures. Then we talked about organic figures
    (art), and finally open and closed figures. We also demonstrated the concept
    of open and closed shapes through some movement (dance) activities. Then we
    talked about Miro's subject matter (Dog and people with the Sun), use of
    color, etc.

    The studio portion of the lesson was a drawing/painting activity. FIrst
    students drew themselves and pets (or pets they would like to have) in black
    marker (I've also used black acrylic paint), using basic geometric shapes, as
    well as open and closed figures. Then we used tempera paint (primary colors)
    to fill in the shapes. Any students who want secondary colors were allowed
    to mix them on the paper. It was a great success.
