Age/Grade | Elementary 3

4th and 5th graders from Equador learned about Keith Haring and clay techniques. They put all their knowledge together and made Haring style Mosaics.

This spontaneous explorative project allows students of all ages to open up and make free associations with positive results.

Using Haring's Subway Drawings as a starting point, this project emphasizes the use of personal icons and symbols through traditional drawing as well as computer-generated graphics.

THIS LESSON USES THE NYC BLUEPRINT LEARNING STANDARDS.
Elementary students design their own mix and matched animals, using a lesson framework that emphasizes transformation.

This lesson accompanies the following additional lessons:
"Clay for Fun"
"Cranimals in 3D"
"Paper Sculpture Habitats"

When an art teacher from a YMCA in Florida decided to clean up her shabby tables and teach her students about graffiti art, she decided to combine the projects and revive the tables with art! A strong emphasis on collaboration and cooperation led to a classroom full of personalized furniture.

This fun lesson begins with drawing the figure Haring-style. Experimenting with different poses, students design and create large-size cut-out constructions.

This ambitious teacher created a fence mural with her students in Sarasota, Florida. Each student's figure drawings becoming full-scale figurative paintings on a bright and bold playground fence.
