(Keith) Haring The Time Of Our Lives!

Over the last couple of weeks Year 3 have been looking at the work of Keith Haring.

We have linked it to the stencil style art of the Stone Age.

As well as our previous Get Moving topic work.

Year 3 classes have tried out different ideas in a range of different materials using different techniques.

First we played some warm-up games to introduce us to his style of drawing.

Then we looked more closely at his work, learning  a little more about his life and influences - recreating some of our favourites in our sketchbooks.

Some classes went on to large and small paintings inspired by Keith Haring.

While some of us focused on a pose, using this as a basis of a 'stencil' that we drew in chalk, shading around it with oil pastels.

Finally we added white lines to add to the sense of movement!
