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.

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

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.

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

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.

Along with defining Keith's goals and strategies for his life as an artist, children will consider their own aspirations and strategies necessary to attain their goals.

This lesson, developed by a graduate student at the University of New Mexico, explores the relationship between Cold War politics, the people who were affected by it, and the artists who examined it. Using the Berlin Wall as a focal point, students have the opportunity to create their own "walls".

Students work together to make a quilt inspired by the life and vision of Keith Haring.

A lesson that focuses on pattern and design through line and color. The teacher, a fellow Haring fan, used many of the images on our site to inspire her students. The finished products were photographed and made into a book.
