Turning around with Keith Haring

You need:

1. 
   drawing sheets 20 by 20 cm
   
   


2. 
   pencil
   
   


3. 
   markers
   
   


4. 
   coloured contruction paper 
   
   


5. 
   glue
   
   

I found this lesson on Pinterest, it's originally from DaVinci's Wings.

Show artwork of Keith Haring (1958-1990) and talk about the characteristics of his work:

 
people are drawn as in cartoons

• fewdetails

• thick black lines and contours

• bright colors

• dashes indicate movement

Students draw figures in Keith Haring style. The sheet must be filled completely and also rotatably: the figures are not all the same way, but are crisscrossing the drawing. Furthermore, also figures on the edge of the sheet, to make the drawing more exciting (what happens beyond the edges?)
All figures have to be coloured with marker; choose just one colour. Outline with a black fineliner and then add motion dashes.
Paste work on construction paper that is the same color as the marker colour.

I saw this lesson first on Art Projects for kids as a lesson to celebrate a new year. This lesson can also be done at the start of a new school year: what do you expect of this new year? What do you want to learn? What sport would you like to practice and where will you spend you holiday?

Students draw a rectangle 1 cm from the edges. Divide this rectangle in several smaller ones. Draw things about a new year in school and colour with colour pencils.
