Keith Haring Inspired Posters
Keith Haring [1958-1990] was an American artist and social activist whose work responded to the New York City street culture of the 1980s by expressing concepts of birth,
death, sexuality, and war. Haring's work was often heavily political and his imagery has become a widely recognized visual language of the 20th century. Keith Haring was an artist during the 1980s who believed he could make a difference in society through art. He had a message that he wanted to spread to the public. He would do that through his posters.
Fish Mosaics
Inspired by artist Antoni Gaudi
Antonio Gaudi was “born in 1852 in Reus (Camp de Tarragona) and son of a copper maker from Riudoms, from childhood Gaudí was an attentive observer of nature and felt attracted to its forms, colors and geometry. In 1868, he decided to study architecture in Barcelona, in a college dominated by neo-classical and romantic trends. Thus, his first architectural production swung between a reinterpretation of historical canons with oriental influence and the recovery of medieval events.
