American artist Keith Haring gained fame with his cartoony style designs that started out as part of the New York graffiti culture in the 1980s. He was best known for his graffiti-inspired drawings, which he first made in subway stations and later exhibited in museums. His images were scenes about various topics such as hip-hop music, dance, birth and friendship.
Each Art Club member was given the research sheet above containing many of Haring's designs. They were set the challenge of creating their own colourful piece with card, glue, scissors and black felt-tips.
They have chosen such bold and powerful colour combinations!
I love the way children never forgot about Haring's trademark black 'movement marks'.
