Third graders learned about Keith Haring's life and work. Keith Haring was a street artist whose artwork was large-scale, fun and colorful and inspired by Keith's interests like hip-hop, break dancing, cartoons and Dr. Seuss. Students created their own Keith Haring inspired designs and carved them into tooling foil, finishing their designs off with bright colored sharpie markers and black lines tracing all of their shapes.
"The object isn't to make art, it's to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable." ~Robert Henri

Gung Hay Fat Choy! Happy Chinese New Year!
We learned about Chinese New Year traditions and 2nd graders created their own dragon for the celebration using a Cray Pas watercolor resist technique. We learned that this year, 2014, is the year of the horse and 3rd graders created banners using Chinese calligraphy.
