Age/Grade | Elementary 3

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.
