Objectives:

I will demonstrate the ability to create a drawing of the human body in a simplified form using simplified, bold shapes and figures inspired by Keith Haring's style

I will demonstrate the ability to create movement through the use of action lines/movement lines near the body

I will demonstrate the ability to create a composition that makes use of my entire paper whether vertical or horizontal by filling my space with multiple figures and simplified images

I can recognize and describe the influence of pop culture and social messages in Keith Haring's art

Vocabulary:

Bold Colors – Bright, saturated colors that are usually solid and fill large areas without shading.

Composition- creating a sense of space that arranges the visual elements, where you put things on your paper; we should be filling the entire paper with our person or animal in this composition

Focal Point- the area of focus within the work of art; the area that the viewer's eye should be drawn toward; it is usually the largest thing on the paper, maybe the brightest or stands out because it is a different color, there might be leading lines to it; many times it is located toward the center of the paper

Horizon Line- the line that separates the sky and the ground

Movement- a principle of design that gives the impression of action; on this project we will add action lines to help create a sense of movement

Pop Art – An art movement where artists use images from popular culture and mass media.

Positive and Negative Space – The figure (positive space) and the space around it (negative space) that work together in the composition.

Simplified Figures – Basic human forms or figures with minimal details, often in a cartoonish style.

Symbolism – The use of images or symbols to convey ideas, messages, or emotions.
