2nd grade- Figure Portraits inspired by Keith Haring

We created figure portraits inspired by Keith Haring.

Day 1- We discussed body proportions and practiced drawing figure portraits in different positions. We used circles and ovals to keep it simple




Day 2- We viewed artwork by Keith Haring. We took our 4 favorite figure portraits and a drew them on a 18 x 24 inch piece of white paper. We talked about the placement of the people, they should be positioned below the floor line if they are standing on the ground. We added details to the ground and a symbol to the background like Haring did. We then traced over our pencil lines in sharpie.


Day 3- We colored out figure portraits, the floor, and the symbol. Then we added glue and glitter.
