Street Art Project

Street Art Project

A low-budget, exciting way to explore the function and creative process of public art while gaining a deeper understanding of Haring's work.

Across Curriculum

A wonderful lesson sent in by a school in England that helps students examine and discuss art while developing their own fun and silly essays.

Snapshots

Inspired by work Haring explored throughout his life, this project asks students to photograph one another and reflect upon what they see both externally and internally.

Small

Using Keith Haring's book, BIG, Children will write and illustrate all the words they know for the word small.

Red and Blue

This collaborative project, inspired by a set of prints Haring made titled, RED AND BLUE, asks children to interpret classmates' abstract shapes and write or tell a story about them.

Questions

A writing lesson that asks children to determine questions to elicit interesting and revealing biographies of other children.

Posters

Using examples of Keith's own progressive posters as a springboard, students are encouraged to create their own messages in the form of a public poster.

Pictures

Usually lessons take a class through a project, this lesson takes a class through reflection and display, a great complement to any activity.

Morphs

This lesson, similar to our Flip-Book lesson, is designed for children to explore movements and perform them as the different characters in Haring's work, emphasizing transitional poses and personal expression.

Flip Books

This lesson, similar to our Morphs lesson, is designed for children to examine the visual quality of movement in Haring's work, emphasizing sequence and time.
