keith haring

Keith Haring gets art out of people like nothing else I've seen.  His work is easy to learn from and seems to motivate other people to do their own work.  The way his images show ideas and actions is effective and exemplifies what you can do with art. I also just like his art alot. 

In class, we start by looking through Keith Haring's work (this takes  painstaking censorship).  We talk about colors, spacing, and movement.  Next we talk about symbols and meaning.  Last we talk about planning out an art piece and practice, which Haring did a lot of; he worked extremely hard.  Finally we plan and work on our own pieces.
