Keith Haring is by far my favorite modern artist. Actually...he's probably my favorite all time artist, comic book and comic strip illustrators aside...but I think it's my love of comics that has drawn me to him. Aside from enjoying and appreciating his art, I also LOVE to teach his art to the kids!!! The fifth graders are currently 'modifying' Keith Haring's artwork to create wonderful self-portraits of themselves in a project I call, "I'm a Keith Haring".
Typically in years past I have done this project with sixth graders and this year...well...it's a long story...but ultimately I opted to go with the fifth graders for this project which will serve as their Art to Remember fundraiser project...which again I'll touch base on later this month (WOW, that was one long run-on sentence!). Have a great Wednesday, everyone!
