Students in Mixed Media studied pop artist Keith Haring. After research, students designed a figure in the style of the artist. The sculptures were assembled using recycled materials. The structures are made from cardboard which were glued together. After this, they were reinforced with newspaper and paper mache glue. Students chose one color to paint their sculpture. 

The challenge for students was to incorporate all figures from their peers. The students used one color of Sharpie to add their designs in the style of Keith Haring. Beyond their classmates figures, students were encouraged to add words, shapes and animals similar to Keith Haring.

Students took their sculptures around the school until they chose a location to display them. At the end of the project, we used my demonstation sculpture as a piñata with review questions from the project! 

Arty on!

I love your project and we are trying it out for the first time with Grade 7s, but applying Abstract Expressionist painting that link to their personality. I can't wait to see how they turn out! Thank you so much for sharing such a unique and innovative idea.

Hello! I recently found this project idea on pinterest and love it! I am currently working on it with my 7th graders and was wondering what kinds of cutting tools you used to cut out the figures.... I am having trouble finding something that will cut easier than a box knife.
Thanks :) - Art teacher from MD
