Age/Grade: Elementary 1

Although initially used as an adjunct to a larger scale lesson, this activity provides much potential when used with Keith Haring's book, NINA'S BOOK OF LITTLE THINGS, which allows for interactive visual and conceptual activities.

Small groups of students danced to music in the hallway, while tracing their bodies in movement poses on colored paper. They were cut out, glued onto one large sheet of paper, and outlined in black paint to brighten up our school hallway.

An explorative lesson that stimulates language skills while aiding in the development of social and emotional awareness.

Using Keith Haring's book, TEN as a starting point, children will learn to quantify and visually depict numbers.

Similar to the book, I WISH I DIDN'T HAVE TO SLEEP, containing children's responses to Haring's work, students are encouraged to look at Haring's work, and create their own stories.

Inspired by work Haring explored throughout his life, this project asks students to photograph one another and reflect upon what they see both externally and internally.

Using Keith Haring's book, BIG, Children will write and illustrate all the words they know for the word small.

This collaborative project, inspired by a set of prints Haring made titled, RED AND BLUE, asks children to interpret classmates' abstract shapes and write or tell a story about them.

Usually lessons take a class through a project, this lesson takes a class through reflection and display, a great complement to any activity.

This lesson, similar to our Flip-Book lesson, is designed for children to explore movements and perform them as the different characters in Haring's work, emphasizing transitional poses and personal expression.

This local New York City school used Keith Haring's art to inspire a lesson on expressing movement in drawing.

A lesson especially designed for younger children to help them understand body proportion and construction.
