Artist Spotlight - Keith Haring, POP Artist

Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the United Kingdom and the United States during the mid- to late 1950s. The movement presented a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular and mass culture, such as advertising, comic books and mundane mass-produced cultural objects. Credit: Wikipedia

We have worked on several POP art projects in class.  This time, we are going to work on creating moving figures such as the artist, Keith Haring, created.  Here are a few samples of his work:

"Dancing Dogs"

"Best Buddies"

DIRECTIONS: 

1. Watch the video read aloud story.  Here is the link:

2. Look at this sample of the process:

3. Get your materials/supplies:

           Paper

           Pencil/Eraser

           Twigs/Sticks (use them from the ground, don't kill any plants or trees)

           Black for the outline (Sharpie, black crayon, black marker, or other)

           Something to add color (crayons, markers, colored pencils, or other)

4. Process:

          Put your paper down on a flat surface. 

          Fold your paper in half ("hamburger style") and create a crease in the middle.

          Place your sticks on the paper to create your composition.  You can crack the sticks 

          to make elbows, knees, etc. You must make at least 2 figures.  They can be people 

          animals or other living creatures. Use the middle line as a point to make space for 

          both figures. 

          Trace around the sticks with pencil (first).  Then, create a thick black outline after you

          are happy with how your composition looks.

          Color them in with bright colors (primary colors work great). 

5. Take a picture of your work.  Follow the directions at the top of the page to submit.
