Haring Lampshades
These students from Germany participated in a competition to design Haring-inspired lampshades.
Posters with a Message I
Offering students the possibilities to express their thoughts and concerns, this project outlines a structure to help students make public posters with important messages in a bold and straightforward manner, similar to some of the work Haring did during his lifetime.
Banners with a Message II
Using the "Posters with a Message" Lesson as a starting point, this project allows students to exhibit their work publicly and address the related concerns of presentation and observation.
Kindergarten Mural
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.
Street Art Project
A low-budget, exciting way to explore the function and creative process of public art while gaining a deeper understanding of Haring's work.
Snapshots
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.
Pictures
Usually lessons take a class through a project, this lesson takes a class through reflection and display, a great complement to any activity.
Morphs
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.
Art & The Berlin Wall
This lesson, developed by a graduate student at the University of New Mexico, explores the relationship between Cold War politics, the people who were affected by it, and the artists who examined it. Using the Berlin Wall as a focal point, students have the opportunity to create their own "walls".
Haring Cooperative Quilt
Students work together to make a quilt inspired by the life and vision of Keith Haring.
Pendants
A lesson that allows students to design a symbol and challenges them to transform their designs into sculpture & wearable art.
