a free HANDOUT for you!
KEITH HARING
Action Figures
Action Figures STEP ONE: Show your students examples of Keith Haring’s art. Read the book suggested in the post or look at prints you may have. Haring’s art is very relatable to kids but some of his art is provocative. Decide in advance the art you want to showcase. Using the handout, show students how to draw the THREE suggested figures. The three figures show 3 different options for kids and once they perfect these, the sky’s the limit. STEP TWO: Use a black marker to draw 3-5 figures on colored paper. You can make your own colored paper by painting a plain sheet. I used regular sulphite drawing paper and card stock. STEP THREE: Cut out the figures you like and glue onto a background. Backgrounds are optional. Try a 12” x 15” colored background, a painted background or even a combination. STEP FOUR: Once the background and figures are glued, use the black marker to create MOVEMENT within the art. These expressive lines are very effective in bringing the art to life.
