Standard Identify the characteristics of artist and artworks from various historical periods. Essential Question Create a painting in the style of Haring that is appropriate for good composition and follows the project rules. Standard Create artworks by using elements and principles of design that are appropriate for good composition and for the communication of the particular ideas.

11 11 Where do we see art in our everyday environment?

12 Keith Haring was born May 4, 1958 in Kuztown Pennsylvania

13 Growing up he wasn t interested in most of the art he saw at the galleries. BORING Too Formal! He wasn t interested in creating the art either because he thought it was too formal.

14 Keith was more interested in the art of the pop artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein who were considered unconventional artists in the art world. Their works were shaped by television commercials, cartoons, comic strips and advertisements.

15 Keith first attended college at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts but in 1978 at the age of twenty he left Pittsburgh for the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Keith didn t like the School of Visual Arts either and it wasn t long before he began to skip classes and then stop going all together. He continued to live in NYC but was extremely poor and had to take the subway in order to go anyplace. Public Service Announcement STAY IN SCHOOL!!!

16 The Subway Artist During the 1980 s Keith began his career in art in the NYC subway station.

17 This type of art was called Graffiti Art Keith was inspired by the graffiti art he saw around him in NYC.

18 Positive aspects of Graffiti art Spontaneous Creative Is seen by everyone

19 Negative aspects of Graffiti art: Uncontrolled graffiti can be destructive Most of the time it s illegal

20 Haring was careful to draw on black paper panels which were going to be covered. He also used chalk because it was easily removable.

21 Characteristics of his drawings: Bold lines Simplified and stylized figures Figures surrounded by rhythmic lines that make them appear to vibrate or move.

22 Characteristics of his drawings: Radiating Baby Dancing People Dogs Flying Saucers

23 Haring s work appealed to many different types of people. Brought a human touch to the dingy and dirty subway stations. Images were whimsical, often humorous, and somewhat mysterious. Instead of looking like typical graffiti art, his poster size drawings looked like they were supposed to be there.

24 Keith Haring created his own visual language. His symbols appear repeatedly in different artworks of his. This type of pictorial writing system is known as pictographs. Pyramid Figures Radiating Baby Spaceship Dog

25 Like the pictographs of Egyptian hieroglyphics, Haring s symbols changed meaning depending on what they were placed next to. The study of Haring s symbols is called semiotics. Egyptian Haring

26 Dolphins Symbolize peace and love

27 Two humans holding a heart means romantic love

28 Three-eyed smiling face means greed or joy

29 Haring s work began as simple white on black figures but soon he developed into complex compositions crammed with dancing, pulsating figures.

30 He repeated figures in rhythmic patterns so the pattern itself became more predominant than anyone figure.

34

35

36 Crack is Wack was created after one of his studio assistants became addicted to crack.

37 As Haring became famous his artworks became increasingly more and more expensive. To ensure that his art continued to be available at affordable prices to the general public he created the Pop Shop in NYC where he sold prints, stickers, buttons, and various other objects with his artwork on it.

38 Haring designed his Pop Shop to be a work of art in itself

39 Haring did not limit himself to 2-dimensional work. He created many public sculptures. Some more than a couple stories high.

42

43 Keith Haring died in 1990 from aids. He may have died young but his work remains some of the most influential art of today.

95 Today s E.Q Use descriptive, interpretive, and evaluative statements to make informed aesthetic judgments about your art. Read Aloud/ Key Terms

96 What have we learned so far?

97 Why do you think judging Group Discussion your own work is important?

98 My end result was a little different from my original idea. I really wanted to use red for the center part of the design. After getting started, I decided blue would provide more balance in the design. I had to change some things, but I liked the way it turned out. It looked like my original idea. It looked good. I liked it. 98 In talking about your art, how does the end result match what you had in mind?

99 Mrs. Miyasaki wanted us to use African designs. I picked the triangle patterns because I thought they looked more African. I used a lot of white because it stood out on my dark background. I picked the triangles because I liked them. The teacher picked the colors. Because I liked them. 99 Explain why you chose the images, objects and colors?

100 I really enjoyed this project because I like to paint. I did get annoyed with the messy black paint, but I still enjoyed making the mask. I thought painting the patterns was difficult. I didn't like that part. It was fun because I like to paint. It was fun. 100 What was your experience like in making this art work?

101 If I had more time, I would have liked to add more trees to the background. I would also have taken my time on the watercolor part. I thought it was a little too messy! I would have added more things to the picture. Nothing. 101 What would you have done if you had more time?

102 Instructions: Respond to the questions using the art rapid response cards. Hold up the correct answer to the question.

103 Do you answer questions in complete sentences? A. Yes B. No

104 How much are the self- reflection questions worth? A. 10 points each B. 5 points each

105 How many total points can you get for rating yourself in the top portion? A. 50 B. 100
