Keith Haring

A student recently began work on a self-directed project into New York graffiti artist Keith Haring, following a chance viewing of some of his work whilst flicking through a book in my classroom. The student was drawn in by his bold use of colour, line and striking, iconic images. They then set about creating some Keith Haring inspired pieces in various media – finding that fineliner, tempera paint, collage and string prints produced particularly effective results.
