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.
