Fourth grade students began the year by looking at the work created by Keith Haring. Classes discussed how he used symbols, motion lines and patterns to create his works of art. We also discussed his simplistic figures and unusual ways of applying color and pattern on his art and to interiors.
Students used the influence of Haring to create a symbolic self-portrait. After designing a simple figure, they applied patterns, symbols and lines that represented themselves. The final step was cutting the figures and assembling them to create a 3-dimensional sculpture.
