3rd Graders had a blast learning about figure drawing and exploring artists who portrayed the human body in different ways. During the first class, we learned how to accurately draw the human body in realistic proportions by using a scale. The next class, we learned how to draw more animated and cartoon like figures similar to Keith Haring. Here is another website for more information and lessons for kids based on his artwork.
After we drew figures in pencil, we then talked about complementary colors for our final project. Students drew their figure on one paper and line designs on another. They "hid" different objects or symbols within their lines like Keith Haring did. Then, we wrote the objects on the back and had a little "I Spy" game at the end of class!
Students also collaborated together to make a class project based on one of Keith Haring's artworks below.
They had a great time working together and the results were amazing!
