In March my students studied the life and work of the artist Keith Haring. We first read about the artist in a newspaper article provided by the Tampa Museum of Art. In that article students learned about the Pop Shop and studied some of his more famous images. After that we used black paper and chalk to first draw the barking dog and then other of Keith Haring figures. The next week students watched the short video about Keith Haring “Drawing the Line.” After that students drew BIG symbols that
represented themselves on large paper tacked up in the hallway. We also worked in groups and drew gigantic figures in the parking lot.
