STEP ONE: Show your students
examples of Keith Haring’s art. Read the
book suggested in the post or look at
prints you may have.
Haring’s art is very relatable to kids but
some of his art is provocative. Decide in
advance the art you want to showcase.
Using the handout, show students how to
draw the THREE suggested figures. The
three figures show 3 different options for
kids and once they perfect these, the
sky’s the limit.

STEP TWO: Use a black marker to draw

3-5 figures on colored paper. You can
make your own colored paper by
painting a plain sheet. I used regular
sulphite drawing paper and card stock.

STEP THREE: Cut out the figures you like

and glue onto a background.
Backgrounds are optional. Try a 12” x
15” colored background, a painted
background or even a combination.

STEP FOUR: Once the background and

figures are glued, use the black marker to
create MOVEMENT within the art. These
expressive lines are very effective in
bringing the art to life.
