This week, the year1-2 kids explored the artwork of Keith Haring, focusing on how he showed movement using simple figures and bold lines. After looking closely at his artworks, kids used their own bodies to act out different poses and movements, just like the energetic figures in Keith Haring’s work.
Inspired by Keith Haring’s style, kids drew human figures with bold outlines and filled them with bright, colourful colours. They practiced showing many different movements through simple shapes and playful poses.
In addition to drawing on paper, kids watched videos to learn about the many kinds of artwork Keith Haring created, including large murals and public art. After trying out their own ideas, kids used large sheets of paper to draw big moving figures and express movement in a fun and creative way.
