Keith Haring is one of my personal favorite artists...and his art is so easily integrated into the art room. His colorful, cartoon style of art makes it so adaptable and accessible to people of all ages. Born in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, Haring is one of Pop Art's most recognizable names alongside Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein and was such an integral part of the New York city art scene in the 80's and early 90's!
I always start the year with a Keith Haring project with my sixth graders, and this year is no different! Kids will be creating the annual "I'm a Keith Haring" project which will also serve as the sixth grade Art to Remember project. It's probably the only art project that I actually repeat year after year with little modifications!
