Procedure

We are currently focusing on the work and life of Keith Haring. In this particular project, I created a ditto for students to fill out. I left a large square for students to draw from observation and included several lines for them to interpret the work.

We are also promoting AIDS awareness and community responsibility by working with GodÂ’s Love We Deliver to decorate bags for the holidays.
