We had been working so hard on the One Point Perspective project, I wanted to move to something with a looser drawing style... so Keith Haring it was!
(He just so happens to be one of my personal favorites, so I love the chance to share his art)
After looking at some of Haring's art and watching "Drawing the Line", we noticed the motion lines he uses to show movement. We also discussed the thick bold lines Haring uses in his simple, but effective drawings.
Less talking, more drawing! One at a time, students drew each other in interesting poses.
At first there were some belly-aching about pictures "not looking right" but after about 3 drawings, everyone noticed quick improvement.. and so began attempts for more unique poses.
I love how uninhibited our kids are!
Here are some in progress and finished drawings.
Through this process we focused on proportion, composition, line... and FUN!
More Keith Haring inspired artwork to come!!
