Sometimes you just have to take the art outside of the traditional four walls and the experience is one you'll never forget! Fourth grade students recently learned about famed street artist Keith Haring and his famous style of bold colors, simple style, and action lines. Haring used his art to not only and capture people's attention but also to get them to react positively and with purpose.
Students had a chance to do their own Keith Haring inspired drawings staying true to not only his style but also to his choice of medium when he first began creating street art (chalk). 4th graders prepared the week before, forming teams, trying out action poses, and drawing them in their sketchbooks. Thankfully the rain held out and the results were wonderful exciting. Not only did students create fun art on pavements, they turned themselves into colorful masterpieces as well (on accident of course)!
