Keith Haring was born in the United States in 1958. He loved drawing from a young age and started learning art.
Keith Haring’s drawings are simple yet colorful and are very popular among many people. His artworks often feature cute characters and simple lines. His drawings often include repeated patterns and vibrant colors, making his work special. His artwork often carries social messages. For example, he created drawings that talked about peace, love, equality, and other important topics.
This week, we looked at Keith Haring’s artworks and tried to draw actions and movements from his works on large sheets of paper. This activity was done in groups, and each group chose a different artwork to represent. We outlined our drawings with bold lines, just like Keith Haring did. Next week, we’ll have a session to paint our drawings with watercolors.
On Wednesday, we visited the Modern Art Museum to see an exhibition of Henri Matisse’s works. We listened to detailed explanations about Henri Matisse’s artworks from the docent. When we returned to school, we had a session where we answered questions about Henri Matisse on a questionnaire. In our spare time, we also had a fun activity where we tried to express Henri Matisse’s artworks using colored paper.
