7th Grade
Artists Inspired by
Keith Haring
is an artist who is famous for using simplified, line based artwork. Haring
created work that often addressed social causes and worked for years painting
his bold, strikingly identifiable images where all could see. A social
cause is a practice or event that can potentially be changed. Symbolism
is the practice of using one image to represent or symbolize an idea. Keith had
many symbols in his art from the “radiating baby”
to dolphins, wolf dogs, and space ships, but each had their own meaning to him
and would often show up in many of his different art works and murals all over
the world. See student work below, very powerful stuff! My students continue to impress me!
