Fifth Grade
Keith Haring
Inspired
Dance Party!
Fifth Graders are learning about gesture drawing (quick sketches used to
capture the movement or position of a figure), and what better way to practice
this, than by examining the work of 80s iconic pop art/graffiti artist, Keith
Haring?! Students learned about the
short life and work of Keith Haring and identified the common characteristics
of his work. Then it was on to the
freeze Dance Party complete with the 80’s music of Bananarama! Students practiced gesture drawings of
classmates and then transformed those sketches into Haring-ish figures to be
used in this collaborative “Dance Party” piece.
I love the fun result!
