Diego Velazquez is a Spanish
painter from the 17th century.
His paintings are worldwide
known and admired and we
can find some of them in the
most important museums as
the National Gallery in London
or the Art History Museum in
Vienna.
But, maybe, his most popular
work is “Las Meninas”, in El
Prado museum, Madrid.
This is me!!

This painting
represents the
princess Margarita,
king Felipe IV’s
daughter, and her
court. In the painting
also appears
Velazquez, working in
other work.
The word ‘menina’, at
the beginning, refers
to the maid of waiting
of queens and princess
in the Spanish Court.
But nowadays, it is most popularly known as any
woman or girl dressed in such a particular way.
The Meninas have
inspired a lot of people
and artists
Some as famous as …

Picasso

or

Dalí
And now, we will become artists.
Let’s make our own meninas with Velazquez’s advice.
Let`s follow these steps:
1.- Draw a pattern
Something like these:
2.- Choose the
materials:
different kind of
paper, fabrics,
ribbons, crayons,
felt tip pens,
feathers, stickers,
glass beads …
And get to work!
Here you are some
ideas
